NFP Updated Top 100
With the Combine and pro days on the horizon, NFL draft boards are about to undergo some significant changes the next couple weeks. At this point, its critical for team executives to have a good feel for their top 100 prospects before the action begins. Heres our list:
1. WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech
The drafts premier threat at receiver. He has the entire package and is destined to become one of the NFLs top wideouts.
2. OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia
An athletically gifted tackle who possesses quick feet and the athleticism to handle the left side in the NFL.
3. LB Aaron Curry, Wake Forest
One of the drafts elite prospects, he should come in and make an immediate impact at the next level.
4. DT B.J. Raji, Boston College
A thickly built, stout tackle with a rare first step for his size. Has the ability to play in any scheme and be very effective.
5. OT Jason Smith, Baylor
A former tight end who displays great feet and body control in pass protection. Might have the most upside of any tackle.
6. QB Mark Sanchez, USC
Has the physical tools to be successful, but its his intangibles and competitive demeanor that make him the top quarterback in the draft.
7. CB Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State
Jenkins is the drafts top corner prospect, but he also has the versatility to play some free safety.
8. OT Andre Smith, Alabama
He showcases great feet and power for his size, but questions remain about his ability to handle the speed of the left side in the NFL.
9. QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia
A physically gifted quarterback with the arm strength to make all the throws. His accuracy, however, seems to run hot and cold.
10. DE Everette Brown, Florida State
An explosive DE/OLB tweener who has the ability to reach the corner and consistently get after the quarterback.
11. DE/OLB Brian Orakpo, Texas
A versatile rush end/outside linebacker prospect who displays an impressive combination of burst and strength off the edge.
12. OT Michael Oher, Ole Miss
He needs to become more consistent, but it isnt often that an offensive lineman with this kind of skill set comes along.
13. WR/RB Percy Harvin, Florida
An athletically gifted football player who simply plays at another speed. Hell find a way to be an X-factor at the next level.
14. LB Brian Cushing, USC
A hard working, versatile linebacker with the ability to play inside or outside in either a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme.
15. RB Knowshon Moreno, Georgia
An instinctive runner with good wiggle and vision at the line of scrimmage. He is simply too much of a talent to fall outside the first 20 picks.
16. WR Jeremy Maclin, Missouri
An explosive vertical threat who can consistently get behind defenses and is very dangerous with the ball in his hands.
17. CB D.J. Moore, Vanderbilt
Is a bit undersized but possesses the best closing speed of any corner in the draft and knows how to get after the ball.
18. DT Peria Jerry, Ole Miss
An explosive interior lineman who consistently penetrates and makes a living in opponents backfields.
19. ILB Rey Maualuga, USC
An inside plugger with good power and pop on contact. Is at his best attacking downhill and making plays in the hole.
20. CB Vontae Davis, Illinois
Has the prototypical size/speed combo of an elite NFL corner, although he needs to put it all together and become a better technician at the position.
21. RB Chris Wells, Ohio State
A big, physical runner who has all the tools, but questions remain about his toughness and passion for the game.
22. DE/OLB Aaron Maybin, Penn State
An ultra-productive pass rusher who may need to make the transition to a 3-4 OLB at the next level.
23. DE Robert Ayers, Tennessee
After a phenomenal senior year, he looks to be closing in on the first round.
24. OLB Clay Matthews, USC
A tough, blue-collar worker who looks like one of the top 3-4 outside linebackers in the draft.
25. CB Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest
The drafts most natural corner. If he were three inches taller, hed be considered a top-10 prospect. Very difficult to gain separation from on any level.
26. TE Brandon Pettigrew, Oklahoma State
A tall, well-built prospect with the ability to work the middle of the field in the pass game and handle defensive ends in the run game.
27. RB LeSean McCoy, Pittsburgh
Is a bit high cut but displays impressive lateral ability for his size and is the home run threat that NFL teams crave.
28. OT Eben Britton, Arizona
A long, well-built tackle with smooth feet and good body control outside. Lacks any type of explosion to his game but will likely be drafted much higher than his rank due to a constant need at the tackle position.
29. WR Hakeem Nicks, North Carolina
A well-built, fluid receiver who gets in and out of his breaks as cleanly as any wideout in the draft.
30. ILB James Laurinaitis, Ohio State
A smart, technically sound Mike who consistently finds a way to make plays in the middle of the field.

A big, physical wideout with excellent body control and coordination for the position.

45. DE Michael Johnson, Georgia Tech
Has the physical skills of a top-five pick but lacks base strength and has never been real productive.
46. QB Josh Freeman, Kansas State
Has the tools to make NFL executives drool. Will likely be the third quarterback off the board.
47. WR Juaquin Iglesias, Oklahoma
A natural athlete with the speed to get down the field and the body control to cleanly snap off routes. Plucks the ball well away from his body and will come off the board sometime in the second round.
48. TE James Casey, Rice
Simply a football player who has a rare skill and impressive athletic ability for the position.

57. C Eric Wood, Louisville

58. OLB Clint Sintim, Virginia
A natural 3-4 OLB who has considerable experience playing the position at Virginia.

A long-limbed defensive end prospect with an angular frame and straight-line speed off the edge. Lacks great flexibility but plays with a relentless motor.
60. OT/OG Jamon Meredith, South Carolina
Displays natural feet and body control but lacks the girth and size to handle the bull rush in the NFL. Is best suited for a zone-blocking scheme.

An athletically gifted linebacker who runs well in pursuit and looks comfortable in space.
73. C Jonathan Luigs, Arkansas
Is a tall center prospect with good feet and athleticism in space. Lacks power and struggles to stay on his man in pass protection.
74. FS Rashad Johnson, Alabama
The most instinctive safety in the draft, he displays impressive range and read-and-react ability down the field.
75. TE Jared Cook, South Carolina
A raw tight end prospect who has a lot of developing to do. However, he has an impressive combination of size and speed with the upside to warrant a second-round pick.
76. ILB Darry Beckwith, LSU
An athletic inside linebacker who looks like the third Mike off the board in April.
77. QB Nate Davis, Ball State
An undersized quarterback prospect with good arm strength. Hasnt been asked to make many NFL-type reads, so questions remain about his ability to pick up an NFL offense.
78. OT Fenuki Tupou, Oregon
A smooth-footed tackle with good balance and power in pass protection. Might be a right-side player only, but he has the quickness to handle the edge.
79. ILB Scott McKillop, Pittsburgh
Isnt the flashiest of linebackers and lacks great size or speed, but he knows how to find the ball and make plays inside.
80. CB Victor Harris, Virginia Tech
Really struggles in and out of his backpedal and is best suited to play in a Cover 2 scheme. Relies on his instincts and ball skills to make plays.
81. SS Patrick Chung, Oregon
Is a bit overvalued because of the weak safety class. Hes a hard hitter in the secondary but struggles redirecting in space.
82. ILB Frantz Joseph, Florida Atlantic
A physical downhill linebacker who makes a ton of plays near the line of scrimmage. Is as physical as they come against the run.

Possesses good size, speed and instincts. Simply doesnt make many mistakes on the field. A solid-looking third-round pick.

Was having a stellar senior season before being derailed by a shoulder injury. If hes able to bounce back, expect him to move up draft boards as April approaches.
89. QB Graham Harrell, Texas Tech
Has all the intangibles needed to succeed in this league. His arm strength will be adequate enough once he polishes his footwork from under center.
90. DT Ricky Jean-Francois, LSU
An explosive, quick twitch defender who showcases an impressive first step. Has flashed dominance but plays too inconsistently.
91. QB Rhett Bomar, Sam Houston State
A strong-armed passer who needs to prove he can handle the big jump in level of competition.
92. OG Trevor Canfield, Cincinnati
A tall, well-balanced guard with good toughness and agility in pass protection. Has the ability to pull and displays a mean streak at the second level.
93. SS Chip Vaughn, Wake Forest
Looked a lot more fluid and explosive at the Senior Bowl than scouts expected. Was able to turn and run down the field with receivers and does a nice job finding the ball.
94. CB Cary Harris, USC
An instinctive corner with good ball skills in zone coverage and the range to break on balls away from his frame.
95. DT Alex Magee, Purdue
A bit of a DT/DE tweener, but he showcases an explosive first step and a pass rush repertoire that is second to none.
96. SS Kevin Ellison, USC
A real thumper in the secondary who always plays the game in a bad mood. Is a bit limited against the pass but will find a way to contribute and make plays at the next level.
97. WR Mike Thomas, Arizona
Continued to flash during the postseason all-star games and looks to have solidified himself a spot in the top 100 picks.
98. SS Emanuel Cook, South Carolina
An undersized strong safety who absolutely flies around the field and plays a lot stronger than his frame indicates.
99. OG T.J. Lang, Eastern Michigan
A former left tackle who is making the transition inside to guard. Possesses good feet with an ability to hold the point of attack against the bull rush.
100. DE Phillip Hunt, Houston
An undersized pass rusher who has the first step and flexibility to dip under tackles and turn the corner.
Who didnt make the cut from last time:
CB Mike Mickens, Cincinnati
A thin corner with good straight-line speed, but he struggles getting in and out of breaks.
DT Corvey Irvin, Georgia
An impressive lateral athlete who uses his hands well to shed blocks and always seems to be around the ball.
WR Kenny McKinley, South Carolina
A long, thin-looking receiver who showcases good burst and fluidity in and out of his breaks. Did a great job gaining separation all week at the Senior Bowl.
RB Andre Brown, North Carolina State
A tall, physical back with an intriguing blend of vision, quickness and burst through the hole. Never seems to go down on first contact.
OLB Zack Follett, California
Enhanced his stock by proving he can play in space and cover the tight end as a 4-3 outside linebacker.
WR Louis Murphy, Florida
A size/speed prospect who looks like a vertical threat at this stage.
WR Jarett Dillard, Rice
Displays great coordination and leaping ability down the field. Was dominant at the East-West Shrine Game, but concerns still exist about his ability to beat bump coverage.
OLB Cody Brown, Connecticut
Was unable to consistently reach the corner at the Senior Bowl and is best suited to play OLB in a 3-4. Impressed scouts with his power and bull-rush ability.
RB Rashad Jennings, Liberty
Was considered possibly the top senior running back entering the Senior Bowl. However, he looked very ordinary at times and isnt the second-round pick many thought he might be.

Was having a stellar senior season before being derailed by a shoulder injury. If hes able to bounce back, expect him to move up draft boards as April approaches.
89. QB Graham Harrell, Texas Tech
Has all the intangibles needed to succeed in this league. His arm strength will be adequate enough once he polishes his footwork from under center.
90. DT Ricky Jean-Francois, LSU
An explosive, quick twitch defender who showcases an impressive first step. Has flashed dominance but plays too inconsistently.
91. QB Rhett Bomar, Sam Houston State
A strong-armed passer who needs to prove he can handle the big jump in level of competition.
92. OG Trevor Canfield, Cincinnati
A tall, well-balanced guard with good toughness and agility in pass protection. Has the ability to pull and displays a mean streak at the second level.
93. SS Chip Vaughn, Wake Forest
Looked a lot more fluid and explosive at the Senior Bowl than scouts expected. Was able to turn and run down the field with receivers and does a nice job finding the ball.
94. CB Cary Harris, USC
An instinctive corner with good ball skills in zone coverage and the range to break on balls away from his frame.
95. DT Alex Magee, Purdue
A bit of a DT/DE tweener, but he showcases an explosive first step and a pass rush repertoire that is second to none.
96. SS Kevin Ellison, USC
A real thumper in the secondary who always plays the game in a bad mood. Is a bit limited against the pass but will find a way to contribute and make plays at the next level.
97. WR Mike Thomas, Arizona
Continued to flash during the postseason all-star games and looks to have solidified himself a spot in the top 100 picks.
98. SS Emanuel Cook, South Carolina
An undersized strong safety who absolutely flies around the field and plays a lot stronger than his frame indicates.
99. OG T.J. Lang, Eastern Michigan
A former left tackle who is making the transition inside to guard. Possesses good feet with an ability to hold the point of attack against the bull rush.
100. DE Phillip Hunt, Houston
An undersized pass rusher who has the first step and flexibility to dip under tackles and turn the corner.
Who didnt make the cut from last time:
CB Mike Mickens, Cincinnati
A thin corner with good straight-line speed, but he struggles getting in and out of breaks.
DT Corvey Irvin, Georgia
An impressive lateral athlete who uses his hands well to shed blocks and always seems to be around the ball.
WR Kenny McKinley, South Carolina
A long, thin-looking receiver who showcases good burst and fluidity in and out of his breaks. Did a great job gaining separation all week at the Senior Bowl.
RB Andre Brown, North Carolina State
A tall, physical back with an intriguing blend of vision, quickness and burst through the hole. Never seems to go down on first contact.
OLB Zack Follett, California
Enhanced his stock by proving he can play in space and cover the tight end as a 4-3 outside linebacker.
WR Louis Murphy, Florida
A size/speed prospect who looks like a vertical threat at this stage.
WR Jarett Dillard, Rice
Displays great coordination and leaping ability down the field. Was dominant at the East-West Shrine Game, but concerns still exist about his ability to beat bump coverage.
OLB Cody Brown, Connecticut
Was unable to consistently reach the corner at the Senior Bowl and is best suited to play OLB in a 3-4. Impressed scouts with his power and bull-rush ability.
RB Rashad Jennings, Liberty
Was considered possibly the top senior running back entering the Senior Bowl. However, he looked very ordinary at times and isnt the second-round pick many thought he might be.
