Emmanuel Ogbah/DE/Oklahoma State: Ogbah was highlighted during our week five preview and the junior delivered. He was omnipresent throughout the victory over Kansas State finishing with 6 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack and a pair of quarterback hurries. Ogbah was forcing quarterbacks to move around the pocket and defeated blocks of opposing guards to stop ball handlers behind the line of scrimmage. He needs to improve his strength at the point of attack but Ogbah is developing into a fearsome front seven player.

Tra Carson/RB/Texas A&M:
I previously bemoaned the fact Carson was not considered draftable by area scouts prior to the season after I stamped him as a potential sixth round choice. It looks as though I may be underrating him. The Arkansas gamenotwithstanding, Carson has been dominant all season long and registered another terrific outing, this time against a tough Mississippi State defense. He finished with 110-yards on 26 carries for an average of 4.1 yards per attempt. What I find most exciting about Carson is the shiftiness and agility he shows for a 230lb ball carrier. He’s much more than a downhill runner and though needing to polish his pass catching skills, he’ll receive middle round consideration for a team in search of a versatile, big bodied ball carrier.

Desmond Morgan/LB/Michigan:
Morgan was another prospect dismissed as non-draftable entering the season then graded significantly lower than teammates Joe Bolden and James Ross yet he’s held his own in the early part of the campaign. He was dominant against the weak Maryland offense on Saturday, leading the Wolverines with 9 tackles as well as intercepting 1 pass and breaking up 2 more. Morgan’s built more like a classic weakside linebacker but has the wherewithal and physical skills to play three downs as a back-up in a variety of schemes at the next level.

Jake Coker/QB/Alabama: Its time scouts, who graded Coker as a street free agent entering the season, readjust their opinions on the signal caller.
