[b]Strengths:[/b] Hali finally put it all together as a senior at Penn State. He had a dominating season where he posted 11 sacks and 17 tackles for a loss. His biggest strength is that he plays hard all the way to the whistle on every single play. It's not uncommon to see him chasing a ball carrier downfield even when the play goes to the opposite side. He has amazing speed off the edge and is rarely beaten. Hali's closing speed is unmatched. When he locks onto a ball carrier he explodes into him. Perhaps the most promising thing about Hali is that he has progressively gotten better and more productive as time has gone on. That is all due to his great work ethic. Hali is also quiet leader on the field that does all that is asked of him. He has been very durable throughout his four years as a starter as both a defensive tackle and end.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Due to his lack of overall size for the position, Hali looks like he could end up being no more than a situational pass rusher in the NFL unless he's put into the right system. While he has been a solid player against the run at the college level, it's going to be harder for him to perform well there at the next level. He doesn't look to have the strength to fight off bigger blockers consistently. He also needs to learn to use his hands better when fighting blockers.

[b]Overall:[/b] It's quite possible that no one in college football helped themselves more than Tamba Hali this past year. It's pretty safe to say that, while selfless, playing at defensive tackle for his first two seasons set back his development as an end a bit. Overall, Hali is a bit raw and a bit more to learn about playing the position. There is a lot to like about what has been seen on the field so far with him. He is the type of guy that coaches love because he's always working hard to make himself better and he?ll do anything to help his team. That coupled with his football skills make him a special player that should end up going in the first round.

Round 2: [b]Anthony Fasano - TE - Notre Dame[/b]

[b]Strengths:[/b] Fasano is a technically sound tight end that has soft, reliable hands. He knows how to get open and use his size to shield defenders from the ball. Unlike most tight ends coming out of college, Fasano is not a liability when it comes to blocking. He can hold his own at the point and his technique is improving. The fact that he played in a pro-style offense helped his numbers a bit, but it also readies him for the next level. He probably will never put up the huge numbers of some others at his position, but he will be a great threat inside that can move the sticks consistently.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Fasano has adequate strength and speed, but the fact that he is only marginally athletic will keep him from being an elite tight end. He just doesn't possess the speed to be a deep threat and he won't run away from anyone. Fasano could also stand to add some strength to increase his effectiveness as a blocker.

[b]Overall:[/b] Anthony Fasano has the makings of a solid and reliable, but unspectacular tight end at the next level. He won't stretch the field, nor will he put up amazing numbers. He will make for a great safety valve in the short to intermediate passing game. He should cause the most damage in the red-zone. Fasano is still developing as a blocker, but shows more ability there than most tight ends in this class. He will need to add some strength to be consistently effective there though. While Fasano is not as exciting as some of his peers in this year's draft, he is a solid all-around tight end prospect that should be able to contribute early on. Look for him to be the fourth or fifth tight end off the board in the mid to late part of the second round.

Round 3: [b]Pat Watkins - S - FSU[/b]

[b]Strengths:[/b] A highly acclaimed high school recruit, Pat Watkins never fully met the expectations of coaches and fans. Throughout a career marred by inconsistency, Watkins' talent always shone through, even if the production never matched. An extremely tall, rangey safety with top notch athleticism, Watkins has the ability to make the extraordinary play both against the run and especially the pass. Watkins excels at using his tremendous wingspan and leaping up to snag the ball at it's highest point. Has great ball skills. Watkins has also shown the ability to deliver the occasional big hit, although not as often as you would expect from a player of his size. His athleticism is what makes him so special, especially when you couple that with his great size, frame to add even more weight, and range. His ability to occasionally make the great play shows that Watkins still has top notch potential and that any team that selects him is getting a guy who was looked at as a true leader on defense with the Seminoles.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Despite being so tall, Watkins is still a bit thin. His tackling skills and fundamentals still leave a lot to be desired and he will probably be required to do more in coverage at the next level, rather than having him in the box at the Line of Scrimmage. With this said, Watkins technique in coverage is still overall lacking as well. He can quite often get caught out of position and lose sight of the ball in midair. His backpedal could also use work, as it's still a bit sluggish and doesn't give him ideal range of motion. He can be beat deep. What also hurts Watkins is that he never played consistently to the level he was capable of playing. While he quite frankly made the big play, he would also at times dissapear completely and at times he was actually a liability for the Florida State defense, despite being looked to as a leader. Watkins' instincts are also lacking and he must improve his film study habits in order to get a better feel for opposing offenses.

[b]Overall:[/b] It's rare to find a safety with the physical talent and measurables that Watkins possesses. He's got a great size/speed ratio and still has the type of body that will allow him to get up to 230 pounds or so without losing much of his blistering 4.42 speed. Despite never fully reaching his potential and expectations at FSU, Watkins still produced the occasional big play and his workouts will definitely leave a positive impression with scouts and GM's around the league. Watkins is a player that still has tremendous upside and could easily turn into a Pro Bowl caliber safety with proper coaching and motivation.

Round 4: [b]Kedric Golston - DT - Georgia.[/b]

Mathias and Kedric have a TC battle.

Round 5: [b]Domenik Hixon - WR - Akron[/b]

I like his style of play, defensive minded and a great blocker he's got to much upside to pass on. (Could also mean a move for Tab Perry to saftey)

Round 6: [b]Troy Reddick - OT - Auburn[/b]

Has some character issues but if he can stay in line will be a valuable selection.

Round 7: [b]Garrett McIntyre - DE - Fresno State[/b]

Round 7: [b]Pierre Woods - OLB - Michigan[/b]

1: Hali
2: Fasano
3: Watkins
4: Golston
5: Hixon
6: Reddick
7: McIntyre
7: Woods
