1 Matt Barkley AGE: 21 DOB: 9/8/90 HT: 6-2 WT: 224 POS: QB Comp 308 Att 446 Pct 69.1 Yds 3,528 TD 39 Int 7 He was a likely bet to be the No. 2 pick behind Andrew Luck last spring, but he's back for more. Won't wow evaluators with physical skills, but sound across the board; very good accuracy, poise, leadership skills and a ton of experience. Has improved every year, expanding his skill set.
2 Jarvis Jones * AGE: 22 DOB: 10/13/89 HT: 6-3 WT: 241 POS: OLB Tkl 70 Sack 13.5 Int 0 A former USC Trojan, Jones is an explosive, relentless edge rusher for Georgia, and profiles as a 3-4 OLB. Jones has a quick first step and violent hands, tackles well, and closes fast. Could improve against the run, but people don't realize how well he can cover.
3 Barkevious Mingo * AGE: 21 DOB: 10/4/90 HT: 6-5 WT: 242 POS: DE Tkl 46 Sack 7.0 Int 0 Exceptional length; still adding to his arsenal and his frame, but he's not merely an athlete with promise. Pass-rush skills are there, and he uses speed to get up the field and turn the corner. Still learning concepts after late start in football, but reads game well given lack of experience.
4 Logan Thomas * AGE: 20 DOB: 7/1/91 HT: 6-6 WT: 262 POS: QB Comp 234 Att 391 Pct 59.8 Yds 3,013 TD 19 Int 10 Huge kid with elite arm strength, and still building his repertoire as a passer. But he's
not raw. In fact, has
very good mechanics. Can drive the ball downfield, but displays nice touch. Will look to improve on working through reads as he tries to settle in behind a young offensive line.
5 Sam Montgomery * AGE: 21 DOB: 5/25/90 HT: 6-4 WT: 260 POS: DE Tkl 49 Sack 9.0 Int 0 Like Mingo, Montgomery doesn't quite have the size of a 4-3 DE at next level, but he's gotten closer, and his frame can handle it. Athleticism and pass-rush skills are there, and he really holds up against the run. Max-effort player, natural athlete, instinctive rusher. Still a lot of projection left.
6 Johnathan Hankins * AGE: 21 DOB: HT: 6-3 WT: 335 POS: DT Tkl 66 Sack 2.0 Int 0 Moves a lot better than his size implies. Often shows an explosive first step; drives opposing blockers into the backfield. Size says he's a nose tackle, but agile enough to be moved around. Very disruptive force on the line, and will draw double-teams all season.
7 David Amerson * AGE: 20 DOB: 12/8/91 HT: 6-3 WT: 189 POS: CB Tkl 59 Sack 0 Int 13 Exceptional cover skills, with a sixth sense for when to improvise. Size and speed to match up with any receiver, so he can go up for the ball, but freelances effectively without getting burned. Led nation in INTs last year. Very competitive.
8 Chance Warmack AGE: 21 DOB: HT: 6-3 WT: 320 POS: OG GP 13 GS 13 Powerful drive blocker, but he isn't just a mountain of a human being; Warmack moves really well, with initial power plus the ability to seek out linebackers on the second level. Solid pass-blocker, able to lock up rushers.
9 Star Lotulelei AGE: 22 DOB: 12/20/89 HT: 6-4 WT: 325 POS: DT Tkl 43 Sack 1.5 Int 0 Safest DT in class right now based on consistency. Demands double-teams, clogs up the middle of the field. A great sense for disrupting the run game, with power to bull rush. Explodes off the ball, with great upper-body strength.
10 Manti Te'o AGE: 21 DOB: 1/26/91 HT: 6-2 WT: 255 POS: LB Tkl 128 Sack 5.0 Int 0 A certain first-rounder had he entered April's draft, back as the top interior linebacker in 2013 draft class. Developed in 2011, showing blitzing skills. Te'o is a big, strong, instinctive tackling presence in the middle of the field. Reads plays well and gets through traffic.
11 Justin Hunter * AGE: 21 DOB: 5/20/91 HT: 6-4 WT: 205 POS: WR Rec 17 Yds 314 Avg 18.5 TD 2 Stats don't do him justice, as most of 2011 was wiped out by injury. Hunter has blazing straight-line speed, but uses good technique and gets in and out of breaks. Good hands, a major threat down the field. Great matchup with David Amerson on tap.
12 Luke Joeckel * AGE: 21 DOB: 11/6/91 HT: 6-6 WT: 310 POS: OT GP 13 GS 13 Really experienced, he's started on the left since his freshman season. Joeckel is best in pass protection and doesn't get rattled by speed or secondary moves. Not an elite athlete, but he's a good technician; faces great pass-rushers this season.
13 Margus Hunt AGE: 25 DOB: 7/14/87 HT: 6-5 WT: 288 POS: DE Tkl 28 Sack 3.0 Int 0 Above all else, Hunt is just a remarkable athlete. Born in Estonia, he's a late arrival to the game of football, but his athleticism jumps off the tape. High ceiling is there if he deepens arsenal and develops pass-rush skills.
14 Taylor Lewan * AGE: 21 DOB: 7/21/91 HT: 6-8 WT: 302 POS: OT GP 13 GS 13 Michigan's best natural left tackle since Jake Long. Elite athleticism for the position; has great length and the ability to really move. Could get more credit for his power as a run-blocker; his long frame probably gets him typecast as a pass-blocker first.
15 Keenan Allen * AGE: 20 DOB: 4/27/92 HT: 6-3 WT: 206 POS: WR Rec 98 Yds 1,343 Avg 13.7 TD 6 Recruited as a safety, too. Allen has strong hands; catches the ball with ease away from his body. Sets up defenders, sees the field well, settles in creases against zones. Not a total burner, but can sell short routes and break deep. Great run-after-catch skills.
16 Corey Lemonier * AGE: 21 DOB: 2/19/91 HT: 6-4 WT: 250 POS: DE Tkl 47 Sack 9.5 Int 0 Still light for a defensive end prospect, Lemonier has the speed, but must hold up better against the run. He utilizes quickness as a pass-rusher, with great burst off the snap and a few counters. A natural pass-rusher, he'll be one to watch.
17 Xavier Rhodes * AGE: 21 DOB: 6/19/90 HT: 6-2 WT: 209 POS: CB Tkl 43 Sack 0 Int 1 Didn't pile up interceptions last year, but wasn't challenged by opposing QBs. A starter since his freshman season, Rhodes has elite size, handles deep routes well, and can hang with smaller WRs. Can move up the board.
18 William Gholston * AGE: 21 DOB: 7/31/91 HT: 6-7 WT: 280 POS: DE Tkl 70 Sack 5.0 Int 0 Great length and frame, with very good pass-rushing skills. Has legit size and skills to be a 4-3 DE at the next level. Experience shows; reads offenses well, knowing when to go wide or come inside against the run. Could be in line for a huge year.
19 Robert Woods * AGE: 20 DOB: 4/10/92 HT: 6-1 WT: 185 POS: WR Rec 111 Yds 1,292 Avg 11.6 TD 15 Refined, quick and crafty, but don't discount his speed, as he'll beat teams over the top. Productive receiver with soft hands and will pick up yards after the catch. Uses space along sidelines and in the corners of the end zone like a pro. Has a second gear when needed.
20 Eric Reid * AGE: 21 DOB: 12/10/91 HT: 6-2 WT: 212 POS: S Tkl 76 Sack 0 Int 2 Great instincts, and a sound tackler from the secondary. A safety who can cover but also play close to the line. Tied for team lead in tackles on a team that can really pursue the ball. Big hitter.
21 Kawann Short AGE: 23 DOB: 2/2/89 HT: 6-3 WT: 312 POS: DT Tkl 54 Sack 6.5 Int 0 A very good athlete who, at his best, can control the line of scrimmage. Doesn't always show explosiveness, but uses his hands well to clear blocks and was constantly in the backfield. A better fit in a 4-3. Big question: Can he stay consistent?
22 Marcus Lattimore * AGE: 20 DOB: 10/29/91 HT: 6-0 WT: 232 POS: RB Rush 163 Yds 818 Avg 5.0 TD 10 Will be watched closely and should carry slightly less of a load early as he comes back from an ACL tear. Should be full speed, however. Explosive, tightly packed player who packs a punch but moves better than a player his size should. Elite if healthy.
23 Justin Gilbert * AGE: 21 DOB: 11/7/91 HT: 6-0 WT: 194 POS: CB Tkl 59 Sack 0 Int 5 Needs polish, but exceptional natural instincts for the position, with a high ceiling. A ball hawk, he attacks passes like the former wide receiver he is. One of the nation's top returners on special teams, has great suddenness as a cutter.
24 Tyler Eifert * AGE: 21 DOB: 9/8/90 HT: 6-6 WT: 251 POS: TE Rec 63 Yds 803 Avg 12.7 TD 5 Will show off NFL pass-catching skills as the Irish split him out wide. Among new class of tight ends, Eifert is a former WR, catches the ball with ease and can stretch the seams, but he's not an exceptional blocker. Top TE in a class where several could emerge.
25 Tharold Simon * AGE: 21 DOB: 3/6/91 HT: 6-3 WT: 187 POS: CB Tkl 42 Sack 0 Int 2 A big corner capable of matching up with big receivers. Expected to take over for the departed Morris Claiborne with little drop-off. Gets low and uses good feet and quickness to be clean out of breaks, but can go up and attack balls in the air. Another star on the way.
