— As the combine approaches, one of the hottest names in the class is Boise State edge-rusher Kamalei Correa. One scout I spoke to this week thinks Correa could propel himself into the top 25 picks of the draft, especially given a weak group at the "EDGE" position this year.
— The hype for Ohio State safety Vonn Bell has been constant throughout the season, but an NFC scout I spoke to this week said Bell is "a small man who plays small" and will be moved down boards for his lack of willingness as a tackler.
— ESPN's Josh Weinfuss reported UCLA linebacker Myles Jack wasn't cleared to participate at the combine as he recovers from the torn lateral meniscus he suffered in September, but in speaking to sources in Jack's camp, I was told he's expected to do everything at his March 15 pro day. Holding out of the combine is a precaution only, given that he's already been cleared to work out.
— Clemson cornerback Mackensie Alexander left school after two seasons as a starter, but in talking to one AFC scout this week, they're not a fan of that decision. Three different team scouts confirmed this week that they have Alexander graded as a "Day 3" player given his smaller size (listed at 5'11", 195 lbs) and the fact he didn't record an interception at Clemson.
— Speaking of Clemson defensive backs, an AFC West team I spoke to this week has safety Jayron Kearse tagged as a late-rounder heading into the combine. Kearse, they said, doesn't have the fluid hips to play safety in the NFL and may need to move to linebacker like Mark Barron or Deone Bucannon.
