Florida Gators

Name	Pos	Yr	#	Rnd	Comments
Dallas Baker	WR	5Sr	81	5/6	Solid possession wide out and a terrific red-zone target. The faster he runs prior to the draft the higher he will be selected.
Andre Caldwell	WR	4Jr	5	3rd	Outstanding wide out on a tear since the middle of the season.
Tate Casey	TE	3Jr	84	5/6	Solid prospect on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Joe Cohen	DE	4Sr	20	FA	Good athlete with solid size/speed numbers. Still trying to translate his natural skill into football production.
Jemalle Cornelius	WR	5Sr	6	FA	Speedy wide out with developmental potential for the next level.
Brian Crum	OLB	5Sr	13	FA	Undersized prospect who needs a lot of work.
Earl Everett	OLB	4Sr	30	3rd	Nifty, athletic linebacker who makes plays in every direction of the field. Terrific weak-side prospect.
Steven Harris	DT	5Sr	93	FA	Practice squad player with a lot of character questions.
Billy Latsko	FB	5Sr	42	FA	Hard working lead blocker with marginal upside.
Chris Leak	QB	4Sr	12	7th	Solid athlete whose NFL position is yet to be determined.
Reggie Lewis	CB	5Sr	22	6/7	Nice sized corner who showed a lot of improvement this year.
Ray McDonald	DE	5Sr	95	3/4	Terrific college player with marginal size for the next level and plenty of durability issues.
Jarvis Moss	DE	4Jr	94	1/2	Explosive pass rusher likely on his way to the NFL.
Reggie Nelson	S	3R	1	1/2	Versatile defensive back who can play corner or safety. Tough against the run and effective in coverage. Expected to declare for the draft.
Steve Rissler	G	4Sr	79	FA	Nice sized blocker with potential as a utility lineman.
Brandon Siler	ILB	3So	40	3/4	Explosive run defender best in the box. Will seek advice from the NFL Advisory Committee on his draft grade.
Marcus Thomas	DT	4Sr	44	2/3	Game impacting lineman with a laundry list of character issues. Dismissed from the squad last month. Has first round potential but will be significantly downgraded because of his transgressions.
Deshawn Wynn	RB	5Sr	21	4/5	Ultra-talented running back who underachieves. Shows a lot of flashes but little consistency.
Eric Wilbur	P	5Sr	10	7th	Strong legged punter who can also directional kick.

Ohio State


Name	Pos	#	Year	Rnd	Comments
Kirk Barton	T	74	3Jr	3/4	Made the correct move staying in college. Big, strong right tackle prospect who does not move well.
Doug Datish	C	50	5Sr	5/6	Played well after moving to center this season. Efficient position blocker.
T.J. Downing	G	72	5Sr	FA	Effort blocker with minimal upside.
Ted Ginn Jr.	WR	7	3Jr	1st	Game changing receiver/return specialist with home-run hitting speed. Top twelve pick.
Anthony Gonzalez	WR	11	4Jr	2/3	Complete wide out who'll be a solid number two at the next level.
Roy Hall	WR	8	5Sr	FA
Brandon Mitchell	S	32	5Sr	7th	Strong, run defending defensive back with potential as a strong safety or in a two-deep system.
Rory Nicol	TE	88	3So	3/4
David Patterson	DT	97	4Sr	5/6	Undersized lineman who could play in a two gap system.
Quinn Pitcock	DT	90	5Sr	1/2	High motor defender who could be used in an array of schemes. Lacks top size but explosive and relentless.
Antonio Pittman	RB	25	3Jr	3rd	Smallish, elusive ball carrier best as a situational runner at the next level.
Jay Richardson	DE	99	5Sr	3/4	Undersized and underrated collegiate pass rusher with growth potential. Coming off a terrific campaign, his first as a starter.
Troy Smith	QB	10	5Sr	2nd	Productive passer coming off a great campaign. Accurate but lacks the great pass placement, pocket passer height and big arm.
Justin Zwick	QB	12	5Sr	FA
