Selections

#28

Marcedes Lewis TE UCLA



Position: TE
Class: Sr
School: UCLA
Conference: Pacific-10
Ht., Wt.: 6-6.5, 261
40 Time: 4.85


BIO: Three-year starter awarded All-Conference and All-American honors as a senior after a team-leading 58/741/10. All-Conference recipient as a junior after 32/402/7.

POSITIVES: Exceptional pass-catching tight end with tremendous upside for the next level. Quickly releases into routes, finds the soft spot in the defense and consistently makes plays in the secondary. Has soft hands and pulls the ball from the air even with defenders draped on him. Works back to the quarterback and regularly makes the acrobatic grab. Takes a pounding yet holds onto the throw. Works hard running after the reception, displaying the ability to break tackles and carry the pile. Plays with outstanding focus, concentration and body control.

NEGATIVES: Must improve his blocking strength and intensity.

ANALYSIS: A team player who displayed a willingness to work hard and improve his game, Lewis is a natural receiver with consistent hands. Needs to polish his blocking yet offers starting potential at the next level and should produce right out of the gate.

#60

Maurice Drew RB UCLA



Position: RB
Class: Jr
School: UCLA
Conference: Pacific-10
Ht., Wt.: 5-6.5, 207
40 Time: 4.44

Grading System

BIO: All-Conference and All-American selection last year after leading UCLA in rushing with 183/900/13 and adding 29/424/4 as a receiver. Averaged 29.1 yards on 14 punt returns, three of which were brought back for scores. Sophomore totals included 160/1,069/8 rushing and a 26.4 average on seven kick returns.

POSITIVES: Game-breaking skill player a threat any time he handles the ball. Runs low to the ground, gets lost behind blockers and is deceptively strong. Keeps his feet off the initial hit, has a quick stutter-step and cuts back against the grain, making defenders miss. Follows blocks anywhere on the field, runs with an aggressive style and keeps his feet moving on contact. Patient, with outstanding vision and awareness. Displays natural receiving skills and the ability to adjust in midair then grab the errant throw from the crowd. Solid in pass protection, picking up assignments and blocking with leverage. Game-breaking return specialist.

NEGATIVES: Not as effective as a short-yardage runner nor a pile mover. Lack of height could turn teams off.

ANALYSIS: An exciting player, Drew nicely projects as a situational runner\third-down back who will impact as a return specialist. May not be a back for everyone, yet will be productive in the NFL if given the opportunity to handle the ball.

40 Time: 4.68
Selected by: Jacksonville Jaguars
Round 3, pick 16 (80 overall)
Grading System

BIO: Two-year starter and All-Conference selection as a senior after totaling 61/12/5, while also intercepting five passes.

ANALYSIS: Lacking classic size, Ingram plays big and has been a productive player the past two seasons. Offers starting potential at either outside linebacker spot.

#160

Brent Hawkins DE Illinois State

Position: DE
Class: Sr
School: Illinois State
Conference: Gateway
Ht., Wt.: 6-2, 241

Grading System

BIO: Former Purdue transfer coming off a sensational senior campaign of 67/25.5/17, winning both All-America and All-Conference honors.

POSITIVES: Quick yet under-sized pass rusher who lacks a true pro position. Plays with excellent pad level, balance and body control. Has good first-step quickness, fast off the edge and displays skills in pursuit. Quickly changes direction and nicely redirects to ball carriers.

NEGATIVES: Easily slowed by blocks and even taken from the action by opposing fullbacks. Has difficulty anchoring against the run.

ANALYSIS: Answering the call as a senior, Hawkins dominated on the small-school level yet lacks the true size\speed numbers to be more than a situational pass rusher in the NFL.
