1 Ezekiel Elliott, RB, 6 #225 Ohio State
Elliott is extremely well-rounded as a runner with ideal size for the position along with coordinated footwork that is always in sync with his eyes. He runs with natural pad level and fantastic forward lean, using his balance, leg drive and relentless fight to move the chains and pick up every inch he can. Plays with a strong intensity for the game
2a Kenny Clark, DT, 6-3 #315 UCLA
He was a high school wrestling champ, and many of those maneuvers translate from the mat to the football field, playing with low hips, leverage and power. He's a stout run defender who comes off the ball low and hard, consistently winning the leverage battle. Anchors well to double teams, planting his feet into the turf and locking out his arms. Clark flashes a quick burst but doesn't rely on it, exploding through the gap to wreak havoc at the line of scrimmage when opponents attempt to pull to block others.Asked to play defensive end, defensive tackle and nose guard for the Bruins, Clark will enter the NFL with plenty of position and schematic versatility.
2b Connor Cook, QB, 6-4, #220 Mich State
Possesses ideal size for the next level with the build to take consistent punishment, including as a short-yardage rusher with his deceiving athleticism. Cook scans the entire field and is a confident passer to all levels, showing touch, anticipation and toughness in the pocket. He has effortless arm strength when he steps into his throws with proper mechanics and torque through his hips to deliver the proper trajectory on downfield passes. Mastered Michigan State's offense, firing quick passes underneath with the ability to thread the needle on deeper sideline throws. Has excellent experience, and his poise in key situations has improved throughout his career.
3 Joe Haeg, OT, 6-6 #305 North Dakota State
An athletic mover with a smooth lateral shuffle off the snap and the range to easily reach the perimeter, blocking outside the numbers and at the second level. He squares well to his target and carries his weight well, displaying terrific reaction quickness to handle secondary moves. Also shows excellent vision to recognize multiple pressures and communicate with his teammates to have every rusher accounted for on the left side of the line
4 Karl Joseph, SS, 5-11 #200 West Virginia
Pound-for-pound one of the most physical players in the country, Joseph doesn't have ideal size, but he plays much bigger and tougher than he looks. He loves violent contact and times his hits well to jar the ball loose, accounting for eight forced fumbles over his career
4 C Paul McRoberts, WR, 6-2 #205 Southeast Missouti State
He was a first team All-Ohio Valley Conference player by the media after catching 76 passes for 940 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 12.4 yards per catch in 2015. McRoberts broke Southeast's all-time career record in receiving touchdowns (29) and had four 100-yard receiving games He also compiled 162 yards on 14 punt returns, including a 69-yard return for a touchdown. McRoberts finished his Southeast career with 2,435 receiving yards, third-most in school history
6 Anthony Zettel, DE/DT, 6-4 #280 Penn State
Lining up at several positions on the defensive line for Penn State, Zettel is a disruptive penetrator with a versatile skill-set to win with power and/or quickness off the snap. A defensive end when he arrived in Happy Valley, he added 25 pounds of muscle and moved inside for his junior season, giving the Nittany Lions and interior rush presence. No player in the Big Ten had as many tackles for loss as Joey Bosa (21.5) in 2014, but Zettel was the closest with 17 stops behind the line of scrimmage, adding 42 tackles, 8.0 sacks, three interceptions and eight passes defended. Zettel was often overshadowed in 2015 by his defensive line teammates Austin Johnson and Carl Nassib, finishing seventh on the team with 47 tackles, including 11.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks. He also finished with six pass break-ups and six passes defended.
6c Matt Judon, DE, 6-3 #255 Grand Valley State
Set records at Grand Valley State and led the nation in sacks last season, is now looking to prove he belongs in the NFL. The defensive end, whose 20 sacks was the best among in all college football
6c Cre'von LeBlanc, CB, 5-10 #195 Florida Atlantic
Shows off his versatility in coverage and as a run defender. Has an excellent understanding of field leverage. Protects against inside routes and forces receivers to stay outside. Does a nice job staying in phase with receivers, using patient feet in his transition to press, sink and run vertically. In run support, strings runs outside and forces ballcarriers to the sideline. High competitive nature
6c Nick Kwiatkoski, ILB, 6-2 #245 West Virginia
A former safety who has built himself into an All-Big 12 linebacker, Kwiatkoski has made a career out of exceeding expectations. With his relatively slim frame, Kwiatkoski doesn't necessarily look the part of a classic inside linebacker but he's instinctive, athletic and physical. At the very least, he could emerge as a quality special teamer and with greater strength at the point of attack, could surprise as much more.
