NFP Prospects 2010: Part V

FROM WES BUNTING:

In the final installment of my 2010 top-100 draft board, I take a look at prospects ranked Nos. 81-100. Now that the top 100 is complete, I have good foundation to start watching junior tape and begin the study toward the 2010 draft.

81.  TE Anthony McCoy, USC

McCoy is a big, long target who displays impressive body control and deep speed for a guy his size. His production has yet to match his physical skill set, but I expect him to have a much bigger role on the USC offense this coming season.

82.  DT Dan Williams, Tennessee

A massive interior defensive lineman who lost some weight last season, which helped him take his game to the next level. Williams was disruptive at times in 2008, but an ankle injury took away some of his effectiveness toward the end of the season. He should be 100 percent healthy and ready to roll in ‘09.

83.  ILB Micah Johnson, Kentucky

A thick, physically imposing linebacker who finished among the top tacklers in the SEC last season. He has a nose for the ball and also does a nice job getting after the QB. Johnson has the ability to anchor the inside of a defense in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme.

84.  RB DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma

Murray is an explosive back who reaches top speed quickly and is dangerous in the open field. He catches the ball well out of the backfield, but I don’t think he has the frame to hold up as an every-down back at the next level.

85.  OLB Clinton Snyder, Stanford

Snyder is a smart, instinctive, hard-working linebacker who reads the game quickly and has a nose for the ball. He is also a gifted athlete who is comfortable in space and knows how to close on the play.

86.  CB Stephan Virgil, Virginia Tech

Virgil was consistently known as “the other guy” in the Virginia Tech secondary last season playing next to CB Victor “Macho” Harris. However, Virgil is a better overall athlete and will likely be drafted earlier than Harris was last month.

87.  DE Jeremy Jarmon, Kentucky

Jarmon is a thickly built defensive end prospect with a good first step and natural lower body strength. He has the ability to play the run and pass game well and enhanced his stock coming back for his senior year.

88.  OT Jason Fox, Miami

Fox is a tall, good-looking offensive lineman prospect who moves well in space and possesses the footwork needed for the next level. He has struggled with some injuries over his career but is finally healthy and should have a big 2009 campaign.

89.  C Stefen Wisniewski, Penn State

A smart, technically sound lineman who will kick inside to center this season at Penn State. He’s a gifted athlete for his size and should develop into one of the nation’s top center prospects during the next year or two.

90.  RB Noel Devine, West Virginia

A big-play threat in every sense of the word, Devine has the ability to go the distance every time he touches the ball. His small, slight frame (5-8, 175), however, will force him into more of a specialized role at the next level.

91.  TE Dennis Pitta, BYU

An ultra-productive tight end with an intriguing combination of size and speed for the position. Pitta isn’t a traditional on the line Y, but he will definitely help create mismatches in the pass game.

92.  C John Estes, Hawaii

A tough, versatile offensive lineman who has experience at both the guard and center spots. He’s a good overall athlete who moves well in space and showcases the grit and toughness to wear down opponents in the run game.

93.  DE Auston English, Oklahoma

A tough, blue-collar defensive end who gets the most out of his ability and always plays until the whistle. He’s a much better athlete than given credit for but has struggled to stay healthy during his career.

94.  DT Mick Williams, Pittsburgh

Williams is a bit undersized but understands how to use his natural leverage and shoot gaps off the ball. He’s an ideal one-gap lineman who reminds me of a young Mike Patterson (Eagles DT).

95.  CB Syd’Quan Thompson, California

An undersized corner with good footwork and a nose for the ball. He broke up 14 passes last season and does a nice job staying low in his backpedal and exploding out of his breaks.

96.  TE Garrett Graham, Wisconsin

Stepped in nicely for TE Travis Beckum last season and finished with over 500 yards receiving and five touchdowns. He’s a good-looking target with the body control and coordination to separate down the field.

97.  QB Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan

I’m not as high on as LeFevour as most, but he’s an accurate quarterback who has the ability to move the chains at the next level. The biggest concern is his ability to transition from the Central Michigan spread attack.

98.  OG Rodney Hudson, Florida State

Hudson is a gifted athlete and has been the Seminoles’ top offensive lineman since his freshman season. He moves well in space, is comfortable in pass protection and plays with natural leverage. He could soar up draft boards with a strong junior year.

99.  FS Major Wright, Florida

A tough, hard-hitting safety with good range and timing in the secondary. He has a nose for the football and plays with reckless abandon on all levels of the field.

100.  OG Brandon Carter, Texas Tech

As tough and nasty as they come. Carter is a massive interior lineman with a lot of pop at the point of attack. He isn’t the best athlete but has the power to overwhelm defenders on contact.
