Rd 1 - 010... Amobi Okoye DT, Louisville
BIOGRAPHY: Two-year starter awarded All-Conference honors as a senior after posting 55/12.5/8. Junior totals included 23 tackles. Entered college at age 16 and will be just 19 years old when he is drafted.
POSITIVES: Explosive defender with terrific instincts. Quick off the snap, plays with good pad level and gets a lot of force going up the field. Makes plays laterally, effectively uses hand technique to protect himself and rarely is off his feet.
NEGATIVES: Lacks top playing strength, is slow getting off the blocks and can be handled at the point.
ANALYSIS: A developing player with great upside, Okoye.s game has taken off the past two years. Looked sensational in the Senior Bowl and saw his draft grade soar. Offers potential as a two-gap end or possibly as a three-technique lineman. May need time to adjust to the pro game.

Rd 3 - 073... Jacoby Jones WR, Lane
BIOGRAPHY: Four-year starter and All-Conference selection the past two seasons. Posted career receiving numbers of 68/822/6 as a senior, when he also averaged 13.8 yards on 24 punt returns, bringing one back for a score. Also averaged 22.3 yards on 38 kick returns.
POSITIVES: Athletic skill player with a good degree of upside. Displays a sense of timing, gets vertical and uses his frame to shield away opponents. Has a burst of acceleration, plays to his forty-time and displays good eye/hand coordination catching the ball.
NEGATIVES: Slow route-runner who gets choppy-footed into breaks. Unnecessarily lets the pass get inside him and does too much body catching.
ANALYSIS: A terrific athlete yet raw football player, Jones has dominated on the small-school level the past two seasons. At this point a project who must develop his entire game, yet has enough innate skills and football potential to be drafted in the late rounds.
