Position: DE
Class: Sr
School: Florida State
Conference: Atlantic Coast
Ht., Wt.: 6-4, 248
40 Time: 4.66

Grading System

BIO: Moved into a starting role as a senior and proceeded to win All-Conference honors after totaling 26/11/7.5. Junior numbers included 27/5.5/2 as a back-up.

POSITIVES: Explosive edge-rusher with possibilities as a linebacker in a 34 defense. Plays with great pad level, forceful up the field and splits double-team blocks. Immediately alters his angle and makes plays in every direction. Fast off the edge, plays with balance and stays within his angle of attack. Effective in pursuit and displays top first-step quickness.

NEGATIVES: Engulfed by large opponents or slowed at the point. Struggled with injuries as a starter last year.

ANALYSIS: Flashing big-time abilities the past two seasons, Wimbley comes off a tremendous Senior Bowl where he significantly improved his draft stock. Must add strength and stay injury-free, yet offers terrific upside for the next level.

Ht., Wt.: 6-0.5, 230
40 Time: 4.79

NEGATIVES: Does not have a decisive move to the throw in coverage and struggles with his back to the action. May lack the pure size to hold up in the middle on the next level.

Position: WR
Class: Sr
School: Oklahoma
Conference: Big Twelve
Ht., Wt.: 6-2, 214
40 Time: 4.54

Grading System

BIO: All-Conference selection the past two seasons. Slowed by a foot injury as a senior and totaled just 25/310/1. Posted career-best numbers of 50/660/11 as a junior.

NEGATIVES: Marginal route-runner who does not consistently play with balance. Lacks top-end speed and is not a deep threat.

ANALYSIS: After a disappointing campaign last year, Wilson returned and performed well at the Senior Bowl. May slip through the cracks but could be one of the draft.s better bargains late in Day One.

School: Miami (FL)
Conference: Big East
Ht., Wt.: 6-3, 245
