— After seeing Dorial Green-Beckham in person before the Super Bowl, I started asking NFL scouts what they've heard about his year at Oklahoma. As one Southwest scout assigned to Oklahoma told me, "He's completely turned his life around. Big brother moved in, whipped his *** and took control. He's on the straight-and-narrow since leaving Mizzou."

— As teams get together at headquarters to group-scout players, one director of scouting told me he was "very surprised" by Green-Beckham's speed on tape. "He has a lot more scoot than I saw back in January."

— Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper was called the "most polished receiver I've seen" by a general manager I spoke with this week. "He's a scheme nightmare because we can line him up anywhere on the field."

— Former Washington cornerback Marcus Peters will get a lot of space in this article, but it's important to note that he'll be working out at the Husky's Pro Day in early April, per a team source. Peters was dismissed from the team midway through the year.

— I asked around this week to get a feel for a player who may "blow up" at the combine. Washington State defensive tackle Xavier Cooperreceived several votes from scouts. The 6'4", 299-pound tackle moves like a much smaller guy. Athletically, he's comparable to Sheldon Richardson.

I have a feeling this guy will be a major riser into the draft.
