California junior QB Jared Goff (6-foot-4, 210 pounds, 4.82-second 40): Although he entered the season as the No. 1 draft-eligible quarterback in the rankings, Goff remains underrated nationally. But many had the opportunity to see him this past Saturday on the road at Texas and he didn't disappoint. He finished 27 for 37 (73 percent) for 268 yards, three touchdowns and was not intercepted, leading the Bears to a 45-44 victory. Although he doesn't have elite size and arm strength many expect in touted passers, Goff is exceptional mentally with terrific anticipation and an efficient trigger. He is patient and poised at all times with composed footwork and even-keeled attitude. Goff's production can be inflated because of Cal's spread scheme, which often allows him to make quick reads and throws, but it also forces him to read coverages pre-snap and quickly work through progressions. The quarterback class for the 2016 draft is underwhelming, but that changes if Goff throws his name in the mix, giving next spring's draft a legitimate quarterback candidate for the No. 1 overall pick.

Penn State senior DE Carl Nassib (6-6, 270, 4.78): Although he probably won't receive much attention nationally, Nassib has been one of college football's best stories. A former walk-on, Nassib was a career backup who got his chance to start this season and has taken full advantage (19 tackles, 7 TFL, 5 sacks, two forced fumbles and an INT). He is one of only seven FBS players with at least seven tackles for loss and is tied for second nationally in sacks. The younger brother of former Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib, he hustlers and is always at full-go, using his snap anticipation and relentless attitude to terrorize backfields.

Notre Dame junior WR Will Fuller (6-0, 180, 4.51): He put himself on the NFL radar last season with 15 touchdowns and continues to impress scouts with his athleticism and ball skills. He is one of the nation's best deep threats, averaging 22.1 yards per reception, mixing gears extremely well vertically to get behind the defense, track and high point the ball. Fuller has a wiry build and will be outmatched at times in contested situations, but he goes zero-to-60 in a flash, making him a catch-and-go target. Fuller, who leads the Irish with 18 catches for 397 yards and five touchdowns, is one of the nation's best pass-catchers and his draft arrow is pointing north.

Ohio State senior DT Adolphus Washington (6-4, 290, 4.96): With the offense sputtering, Ohio State has relied on the defense to secure wins. Joey Bosa is the most impactful player on the defense, but Washington has been almost as valuable against the pass and the run

Who ever gets the Stanford QB Kevin Hogan, late in the draft is going to get a Steel i watched him last week against USC and I've watched him last 3 years off and on. he's going to be good. just does not have weapons around him. 1st year he has some weapons 2nd year NO 3rd year less this year better so he's doing better. still needs better play calling and better WR/TE around him for him to shine... Most of the Stanford players on Offense outside of the OL will not get drafted.
