7. LSU produces many NFL-caliber defensive linemen, and Davon Godchaux is next in line. He showed many of his skills lining up as a five-technique and inside in the team's win over Florida on Saturday. Godchaux plays with power, pushing offensive linemen into the backfield with regularity by staying low (though he's listed at 6-4) and extending his arms for leverage. He finishes plays in the backfield, dragging down quarterbacks after fighting through double teams -- even if the ball is out of the pocket. Though Godchaux is sometimes the last guy off the ball, he can turn it on to challenge the quickness of tackles on the outside. He's a versatile player who should be an instant NFL contributor. -- Chad Re

4 USC CB Adoree' Jackson is one of the most unique players to study in college football. He's a dynamic playmaker in all three phases (offense, defense, special teams), but his lack of size shows up on balls thrown down the field. He gave up two TD passes early against UCLA on Saturday. The first one wasn't solely his fault. The safety help was late to arrive and the safety missed the tackle after Jackson was beat on the route. On the second one, Jackson was boxed out in the end zone, something we've seen happen a couple times this fall. On the positive side, he made a few impressive pass breakups, where he showed off his leaping ability and awareness. I know some scouts feel like his future is at wide receiver but I'd still keep him at cornerback. He is very similar to Asante Samuel. Both guys excel from off coverage, where they can use their instincts and quickness to break on balls in front of them. Neither player is built to play press coverage and survive on a consistent basis. One thing about Jackson that everyone agrees on -- he is an electric returner, capable of scoring from anywhere on the field. It will be fun to see him play against Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer next week. -- Daniel Jeremiah
