— USC linebacker Su'a Cravens announced on Twitter this week he plans to enter the 2016 NFL draft. I laid out some potential landing spots for him in this video. And for the many people asking on Twitter, Cravens should play weak-side linebacker in the NFL.

— Former head coach Frank Beamer announced, per Mike Barber of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, that Virginia Tech cornerback Kendall Fuller will enter the 2016 NFL draft, following in the footsteps of his brothers Kyle, Corey and Vincent. Fuller had a late second-round grade when I saw him over the summer, but how well he's recovered from the knee injury that cut his 2015 season short will have a huge impact on his draft stock.

— Ole Miss defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche had an eventful weekend. Saturday night, the 6'4", 295-pound lineman fell 15 feet froma hotel ledge in Atlanta after allegedly breaking out his room window, according to an incident report released by the Atlanta Police Department. That fall required an ambulance ride and stitches, and he was subsequently charged with possession of marijuana. How this will affect his draft stock remains to be seen, but area scouts had already warned me that Nkemdiche was "overrated" by the media and "living off his high school reputation."

— It would be a big surprise, but I've heard from multiple area scouts that Alabama defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson may return to school for his senior season. He is young (20 years old) and wants to get his master's degree before heading to the NFL.

— Team sources at Michigan State continue to indicate their belief that tackle Jack Conklin will return to school for his senior season. That makes sense given that Conklin's 2015 season was full of injuries.

— More on him below, but Houston wide receiver Demarcus Ayers is getting mentioned by area scouts as a player likely to enter the 2016 NFL draft. He's a bit undersized (5'11", 190 lbs) but was an excellent receiver between the hashes and a playmaker in the return game.
