Mike Renner · Combine Superlatives · Trey'Dez Green · Waiting
Renner ranks the top 10 tight end prospects in the upcoming class, led by Oregon's Jamari Johnson, and attaches an early draft grade to each — Johnson early Day 2, Reynolds/Carter/Green Day 2, Rodriguez late Day 2, and Hasley, Odom, Luckie, Ohrstrom and Vonnahme early Day 3. They also predict Johnson will be the draft's TE1 and that Trey'Dez Green will record the longest wingspan ever measured at the NFL Scouting Combine.Mike Renner · Combine Superlatives · Blake Miller · Waiting
Renner expects Caleb Banks and Peter Woods to be the first two defensive tackles drafted, has Ruben Bane as the top non-quarterback on their board, Michael Trigg as their TE2, Ohio State's blocking tight end going on Day 3, D'Angelo Ponds as a top-50 player who will test extremely well (sub-4.4 speed), Jermaine McCoy as their CB1 and a top-half-of-round-one corner, and Caden Proctor and Spencer Fano as top-10 players in the class.Colleen Wolfe · Combine Superlatives · Will Johnson · Waiting
Wolf expects cornerback Will Johnson to post the fastest 40-yard dash at the combine, and says receiver Ariane Smith could boost their stock with a good 40 time.
