Top 50 draft prospects (cont.)

Brandon Graham's smallish size makes him a difficult fit at defensive end in the NFL. Icon SMI

33) Greg Romeus*/DE-OLB/Pittsburgh: He has the ability to destroy plays at will. He possesses the size and athleticism to get consideration as a rush linebacker.

34) Sean Weatherspoon/OLB/Missouri: Weatherspoon has been a tackling machine for Missouri since his sophomore season. He combines the athleticism and speed necessary to be a starting outside linebacker in the NFL.

35) Brandon LaFell/WR/LSU: LaFell has rewrote the pass catching records at LSU and rates as the top senior receiver in April's draft. Forty times in March will dictate how early he is selected.

36) Roddrick Muckelroy/LB/Texas: Muckelroy is a three-down linebacker with the versatility to be used in a number of defensive systems.

37) Carlos Dunlap*/DL/Florida: Dunlap has all-world ability but only plays to it a fraction of the time. There's enough time for Dunlap to elevate his game but he comes with a bit of risk.

38) Bruce Carter*/OLB/North Carolina: Carter is a terrific linebacker special teams player with a record number of blocked punts/kicks to his credit.

39) Vince Oghobaase/DL/Duke: Oghobaase has the skill set necessary to be used as a two-gap end in a 34 alignment.

40) Tim Tebow/QB/Florida: The former Heisman Trophy winner needs work on his passing fundamentals yet will bring large returns for a team patient with his development.

41) Brandon Graham/DE/Michigan: Graham is a difference maker on the college level yet his size (6-foot, ½-inch/274 pounds) makes scouts wonder where to place him in the NFL.

42) Tyson Aluala/DL/California: Aluala is building a buzz for himself in scouting circles. He's a rough and tumble lineman who can play defensive tackle or be used as a two-gap end.

43) Mike Iupati/G/Idaho: Iupati is one of the nation's most dominant and complete blockers. He possesses the size, strength and athleticism to start in the NFL.

44) Derrick Morgan*/DE/Georgia Tech: Morgan is a fierce pass rusher who will only improve as he adds size and strength to his frame.

45) Jimmy Clausen*/QB/Notre Dame: The starting signal caller for the Irish draws a variety of opinion amongst NFL scouts. He has the physical skills to play in the NFL but his ability to make the proper decision in the tough spot is questioned. Clausen's best course of action is to return to Notre Dame for his senior season.

46) Bruce Campbell*/T/Maryland: Campbell's skills in pass protection stand out and the Maryland junior offers starting potential in the NFL in due time.

47) Colt McCoy/QB/Texas: The Heisman Trophy candidate has tremendous quarterback intangibles and football smarts. Questions surround his arm strength, so pre-draft workouts will ultimately determine how high McCoy is selected in April.

48) Dominique Franks*/CB/Oklahoma: Franks combines size and athleticism to shut opponents down. He has big-time ability but is prone to costly lapses in concentration, which concerns scouts.

49) Eric Decker/WR/Minnesota: Decker does not possess elite speed but makes up for it with smart, tough, reliable play. He has the makings of a dependable second receiver on the NFL level.

50) Gabe Carimi*/T/Wisconsin: Carimi is the next great offensive lineman to come from the Badger program. He's a terrific pass-protecting left tackle with the size necessary to grow into a dominant run blocker.
