former Ohio State receivers coach Brian Hartline told The Post<\/a>. The sure-handed Smith could be the highest drafted receiver since 2007 (No. 2). He creates easy separation, runs through arm tackles and raises his game in the big moment (27 touchdowns in 29 games).<\/p>\nWR Ryan Williams, Alabama<\/p>\n
The encore to his explosive freshman season wasn\u2019t quite as good (FBS-high 13 drops) but he is still averaging 16 yards per catch over his career. He creates separation with elite speed and a bag of tricks and then tracks deep throws like an outfielder.<\/p>\n
WR Cam Coleman, Texas<\/p>\n
What will he do with better quarterback play than he had at Auburn (13 touchdowns in two seasons)? Freaky athleticism fills his highlight reel with above-the-rim contested catches and contortionism. Size, speed and strength combination. Is he a willing blocker?<\/p>\n
TE Jamari Johnson, Oregon<\/p>\n
Notre Dame and Iowa are battling for \u201cTight End U.\u201d but Oregon is gaining steam. Some evaluators say Johnson is better than Cowboys star Jake Ferguson and soon-to-be first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq. He is a sure-handed 6-foot-5 pass-catcher who will in-line block.<\/p>\n

OT Trevor Goosby, Texas<\/p>\n
The 312-pounder allowed just one sack by using his kick-step to set deep and wide, lateral quickness to handle speed rushers and anchor against bull-rushers. Goosby can get knocked off-balance by counter-moves and fakes. He has experience at both bookends.<\/p>\n
Edge Colin Simmons, Texas<\/p>\n
Is he the next Von Miller? Simmons has elite first-step quickness and his footwork is clean as he dips underneath upright tackles and stays low to the ground. He has mastered the strip-sack (21 sacks, six forced fumbles) but can get eliminated against the run.<\/p>\n
Edge Dylan Stewart, South Carolina<\/p>\n
Already an expert in facing double teams, Stewart has 11 sacks and six forced fumbles in 24 games. He can bend the edge with speed or walk-back a blocker. His first-step quickness is matched by his closing speed. Agitators can make him lose his cool.<\/p>\n
DT David Stone, Oklahoma<\/p>\n
Stone looks like a first-rounder closing off running lanes but only totaled 2.5 sacks as a pass-rusher (the ability needed to elevate into the Top-10 picks). His motor runs hot, so he will over-run the ball in pursuit, but coaches don\u2019t complain about too much effort.<\/p>\n
CB Leonard Moore, Notre Dame<\/p>\n
The FBS co-leader in interceptions last season (five) lined up across the field and flashed length, size and speed. Moore reads the quarterback\u2019s eyes and jumps into passing lanes. He needs to clean up his tackling but possesses an appetite to be great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hold onto your hats, your kids and your 2027 NFL Draft picks.
