Risers
Jacoby Brissett/QB/North Carolina State: I labeled Brissett as the most underrated signal caller from the senior class prior to theClemson game and his performance against the Tigers impressed NFL scouts. Despite the Wolfpack coming up short on the scoreboard, Brissett registered 254-yards passing with 3 scores and no interceptions against the top pass defense in the ACC. Brissett’s command of the offense was impressive as were the array of passes he delivered. He has a big league arm and easily drives the ball downfield with speed yet at the same time displayed feather like touch when necessary. He needs to be more consistent with his mechanics which will improve his accuracy but considering the upside Brissett brings, coupled with the sad state of the quarterback position moving towards April’s draft, a second day pick is in the offing.
Brandon Doughty/QB/Western Kentucky: I initially mentioned Doughty back in 2013 when he looked like an up and coming prospect under then head coach Bobby Petrino yet despite a change in coaches Doughty’s game has improved. He’s been on a tear this season completing almost 72% of his throws for 3310-yards and 30 TD’s (5 INTs) in just eight games. Doughty lacks great physical skills and is more of an underneath passer but shows a command of the offense as well as the ability to move the chains. He projects as a late round pick and should make a roster for a timing or west coast offense.
Travis Feeney/OLB/Washington: Area scouts stamped Feeney as a late round pick entering the year, an opinion I disagreed with back in August. And from what I’m told scouts are now starting to believe he’s top 100 material. Freeney turned in a dominant performance against Arizona posting 11 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks as well as forcing a pair of fumbles and breaking up a pass. Freeney lines up at the Huskies “Buck” position, which he’s not really suited for, yet he’s found ways to produce. He displayed exceptional skill playing in space as a junior, proving to be a complete three down defender and now he’s making plays in the opponents backfield coming off the line of scrimmage. Good workouts and clean medical reports prior to the draft coupled with his play the past two seasons should solidify him as a third round pick.
Nick Martin/C/Notre Dame: Except for one poor penalty Martin did a terrific job against Temple’s pair of interior defensive tackles during Notre Dame’s victory. He effectively protected his quarterback all game as well as opened holes for the running backs. Martin is a nasty defender who plays fundamentally sound football and has made a major move up draft boards as many scouts now stamp the senior as a top 42 selection.
