| ROUND 1 - 32ND OVERALL - MATT ELAM - S, FLORIDA | ||
 |
Vitals: Junior, 5-foot-10, 208 pounds
2012 Stats: 76 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 4 interceptions, 1 forced fumble
NFL.com Overview: A two-year starter in Gators' secondary, Matt Elam boasted one of the best highlight reels of any prospect in this class due to his big hits and personality on the field. Elam entered the college ranks as the top high school safety prospect. His older brother Abe Elam has paved the way for Matt to make it in the NFL. He was a two-way player in high school, but Elam made the transition to safety shortly after focusing on special teams during his freshman season in 2010.
Elam is one of the higher profile prospects at his position due to his onfield emotion and energy when lining up big hits in the open field. The junior thrives when his number is called, and Elam was very visible since he frequently lined up in the box at strong safety. However, when looking beyond the splash plays, Elam lacks urgency and can be seen standing around while others make the play. That combined with his tendency to launch himself at ball carriers rather than make form tackles might have caused some scouts to be a bit apprehensive.

ROUND 2 - 56TH OVERALL (TRADE: GAVE UP 5TH, 6TH-ROUNDERS TO MOVE UP 6 SPOTS)
ARTHUR BROWN - LB, KANSAS ST.
| ||
 |
Vitals: Senior, 6-foot-0, 241 pounds
2012 Stats: 100 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 4 pass breakups, 2 interceptions
NFL.com Overview: The brother of the Philadelphia Eagles' 2012 seventh-round draft pick, running back Bryce Brown, transferred from Miami (Fla.) to see the field more regularly. It didn't take long for Arthur to make an impact at Kansas State and became the Wildcats' most consistent force on the defensive side of the ball during his tenure in Manhattan. Some will question his size, but Brown plays much bigger than his frame suggests due to strong hands and a physical attitude on contact. He projects as either an inside linebacker or weak-side prospect in the NFL.

| ROUND 3 - 94th OVERALL - BRANDON WILLIAMS - DT, MISSOURI SOUTHERN ST. | ||
 |
Vitals: Senior, 6-foot-1, 335 pounds
2012 Stats: 59 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks
NFL.com Overview: Three-time All-Americans are rare at any level of football. Williams was one to accomplish that feat. The Associated Press placed Williams on one of their three Little All-American teams (third in 2010, second in 2011, first in 2012) as one of the top players in Division II, III, or NAIA.
Williams showed glimpses of talent while playing every game as a true freshman for the Lions, starting three contests and making 38 tackles, three for loss and 1.5 sacks. He missed the 2009 season due to an injury, but exploded on the scene as a redshirt sophomore, earning those All-American honors and first-team All-MIAA accolades with 50 stops, 17 for loss, and nine sacks despite starting just the final seven games after starting the year coming off the bench. He started nine of the team’s 10 games in 2011, racking up 16 tackles for loss and eight sacks. Williams has also tipped 12 passes at the line during his first three seasons. In 2012, Williams was named the MIAA defensive player of the year with 68 tackles (16.5 for loss), 8.5 sacks, and five forced fumbles.

| ROUND 4 - 129TH OVERALL - JOHN SIMON - DE/LB, OHIO ST. | ||
 |
Vitals: Senior, 6-foot-2, 257 pounds
2012 Stats: 44 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, 9 sacks
NFL.com Overview: This two-time All-Big Ten pick and two-time Buckeyes captain lacks the height and length most NFL teams want in a defensive end, but teams with less stringent size requirements will covet his exceptional weight-room work ethic. He's late off the ball, and not an explosive athlete, but he understands pad level and hand usage. He's going to have to prove to teams that he can handle himself effectively enough in coverage.
| |
| ROUND 4 - 130TH OVERALL (COMPENSATORY) - KYLE JUSZCZYK - FB/TE, HARVARD | ||
 |
Vitals: Senior, 6-foot-1, 248 pounds
2012 Stats: 52 receptions, 706 yards, 8 TDs
NFL.com Overview: At Harvard's pro day, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.72 and 4.71 seconds. He had a 37-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-1 broad jump. He ran the short shuttle in 4.19 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.93 seconds. He performed 24 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. Juszczyk played some tight end and H-back for the Crimson, but worked out at fullback at his pro day.
| |
| ROUND 5 - 168TH OVERALL (COMPENSATORY) - RICKY WAGNER - G/T, WISCONSIN | ||
 |
Vitals: Senior, 6-foot-6, 308 pounds
2012 Stats: 27 consecutive starts
NFL.com Overview: With the Badgers producing first-round offensive linemen in each of the last two drafts, it is doubtful Wagner will continue that streak. He has been a consistent figure on the left side of Wisconsin's offensive line the last two seasons, but expect Wagner to find his home on the right side in the NFL with an outside shot at playing left tackle in a pinch.

| ROUND 6 - 200TH OVERALL - KAPRON LEWIS-MOORE - DE, NOTRE DAME | ||
 |
Vitals: Fifth-year senior, 6-foot-4, 298 pounds
2012 Stats: 40 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 6 sacks, 9 QB hurries, 2 pass break ups, 2 forced fumbles, 2 passes defended
NFL.com Overview: Lewis-Moore improved his production in his senior year, and looked to be a versatile piece that could potentially work in a rotation at 43 DT or 34 DE. However, Lewis-Moore already lacked great athletic ability, and that issue has been compounded by back to back seasons with knee injuries. A team will have to be willing to stash him away for a year as he rehabs a torn ACL he suffered in the BCS National Championship game.

| ROUND 6 - 203TH OVERALL (COMPENSATORY) - RYAN JENSEN - C, CSU-PUEBLO | ||
 |
Vitals: Senior, 6-foot-4, 304 pounds
NFLDraftScout.com Overview: Jensen - who was not at the NFL Scouting Combine - ran the 40-yard dash in 5.28, 5.23 and 5.34 seconds. He had a 25 1/2-inch vertical jump and an 8-foot-2 broad jump. He had a 4.56-second short shuttle and a 7.69-second three-cone drill. Jensen also performed 30 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. Jensen could be drafted as high as the third or fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. The last player drafted out of Colorado State-Pueblo - then known as Southern Colorado - was running back Herman Heard, who was selected in the third round of the 1984 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs.

| ROUND 7 - 238TH OVERALL - AARON MELLETTE - WR, ELON | ||
 |
Vitals: Senior, 6-foot-2, 217 pounds
2012 Stats: 97 receptions, 1,398 yards, 18 touchdowns
NFL.com Overview: Mellette was lucky to play in a passing oriented offense, with the majority of his time under current Ball State head coach Pete Lembo. Prior to Mellete, Elon put forth a record breaking receiver in Terrell Hudgins, but Mellette's pro potential is much better. He won't win with long speed or athleticism, but Mellette has displayed the ability to make catches in traffic and win with technical route running. Expect a fourth- or fifth-round selection.

| ROUND 7 - 247TH OVERALL (COMPENSATORY) - MARC ANTHONY - CB, CALIFORNIA | ||
 |
Vitals: Senior, 5-foot-11, 196 pounds
2012 Stats: 52 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, 3 pass break ups, 1 forced fumble
NFL.com Overview: A four-star prospect and one of the top 20 cornerback recruits in the country coming out of Chandler, Ariz., Anthony took over a starting role as a redshirt sophomore in 2010 after playing eight games (no statistics) the previous season. He tied for the team lead with two interceptions that season, and broke up six passes while making 48 stops. Anthony started 11 of 13 games as a junior, missing the USC and Utah games with a dislocated left shoulder suffered against Oregon. He intercepted only one pass, but used his length to knock away 12 passes and attacked five plays behind the line of scrimmage during the season. As a senior, Anthony registered 53 tackles (7 for loss), two interceptions, and three passes defended. Possessing the size of a starting outside NFL cornerback, Anthony has potential to be a top-100 prospect as he built upon his senior year in proving his game speed and agility in postseason workouts
