STOCK ARROW POINTING UP
1. DL Aaron Donald, Pittsburgh: Donald continues to make a northern ascent up draft boards and once again exceeded the expectations placed on him. He started his Combine workout with 35 repetitions on the bench press then posted a superb 40-yard dash time of 4.67-seconds, including a swift 1.59-second 10-yard split. Donald was terrific during drills, which surprised no one. He effortlessly moved his 285-pound frame in every direction of the field and showed great power during bag drills.
2. LB C.J. Mosley, Alabama: Mosley did not run the 40-yard dash, but participated in position drills and showed why he's so highly rated. To say Mosley looked natural during all the drills is an understatement. As with all the linebackers who did well on Monday, Mosley looked terrific in coverage drills, effortlessly moving laterally and changing direction at a good pace.
3. DE/OLB Chris Smith, Arkansas: Smith's testing numbers were solid - 4.72 seconds in the 40-yard dash, 37 inches in the vertical jump, 10-foot-1 in the broad jump and 28 reps on the bench press. Linebacker drills were another area where he excelled. Even at 266 pounds, Smith was quick and fluid moving in reverse while showing a burst of straight line speed. Projected by most scouts as a 3-4 outside linebacker, Smith proved to have the goods.
4. LB Prince Shembo, Notre Dame: For most of his Notre Dame career Shembo lined up in a three-point stance. When used in space, it was primarily in the box or a small area. On Monday, he displayed the talent necessary to be a three-down defender. His 40-yard dash time of 4.71 seconds was better than expected and Shembo turned up the intensity during drills. He was quick footed over the bags, showed terrific punch with his hands and practiced with great balance. Shembo was one of the few linebackers to hold onto every pass thrown to him during coverage drills and surprised scouts with his overall talent.
5. LB Kevin Pierre-Louis, Boston College: Pierre-Louis quickly set the bar in the 40-yard dash with a time of 4.5 seconds, fastest of all the linebackers. He practiced to that speed during position drills displaying great quickness moving in every direction. Pierre-Louis really stood out in coverage drills, very important at 232 pounds he projects to weakside linebacker.
6. LB Avery Williamson, Kentucky:
