Risers
Eric Kendricks/LB/UCLA: The younger brother to Mychal Kendricks, a second round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012, Eric has steadily risen up draft boards and performed brilliantly against Washington on Saturday. Posting a team leading 13 tackles, giving him 114 total in ten games this season, Kendricks has been a one man wrecking crew. He stacks well against the run playing bigger than his 225-pound frame while easily running down ball handlers in pursuit. Kendricks also makes plays in space and could be the next member of his family to land in the second round.
Bryce Hager/LB/Baylor: The Baylor offense garners most of the headlines as they are averaging more than 50-points each game this season. But the team’s defense, which gives up 21 points per game in the high scoring Big 12 Conference, are the unsung hero’s and Hager is their leader. He sits atop the team with 71.5 tackles in nine games this season including 8.5 tackles during the blowout victory over Oklahoma. Hager also registered his first interception of the season against the Sooners. He’s a tough, run defending linebacker who plays assignment football and grades as a late round pick who’ll do well on the inside of a 3-4 alignment.
Ben Heeney/LB/Kansas: Its been a miserable season for the Kansas Jayhawks, who broke a five game losing streak against Iowa State this weekend. Yet through it all Heeney has played productive football. The team’s leading tackler, Heeney has posted 101 tackles in nine games this season while also accumulating 10 tackles for loss. Entering the season with a middle round grade from scouts, he’s a good football player who lacks top measurables but has next level potential as a back-up linebacker/special teams player.
Martin Ifedi/DE/Memphis: Ifedi gave serious consideration to entering the 2014 draft but opted to return for his senior season. The decision initially looked questionable after he was sidelined four games at season’s start with a knee injury. Since then Ifedi has been a monster on the field upon returning to health. The senior posted 22 tackles and 4 tackles for loss the past month, slowly rising up draft boards. An athletic 6-feet/3-inches, Ifedi offers the versatility to line-up in a number of defensive fronts on Sunday and will be a steal in the later rounds.
Jordan Taylor/WR/Rice: Taylor is another who sat on the sidelines with injury during the early part of the year. With his foot in a boot, he missed the seasons initial three games but has been impossible to stop in recent weeks.
