Some players worth picking

Published



They won’t go high in the first round, if at all. Regardless, one scout says these three players haven’t received enough attention. Here’s his scouting report:

Ohio State DE Cameron Heyward » “He’s been totally overlooked because he didn’t play in an all-star game. He was a dominant player at Ohio State every year. His last game against Arkansas he kicked the [stuffing] out of the tackle [DeMarcus Love], and yet everyone is talking about J.J. Watt, which drives me nuts. Cameron will be a better pro. He’s a great guy, hard working.”

Iowa DE Adrian Clayborn » “Everyone wants to talk about his [Erb’s palsy], which is not new. He had it the whole time he played at Iowa, and he was a dominant player before everyone in the media knew about it. How is it that it now kills his value? And he was a better player than J.J. Watt for a longer period of time. For teams that run a 4-3, he’s a good defensive end.”

Miami WR Leonard Hankerson » “I’ve been a huge fan of Hankerson, and he should be the third receiver drafted — at the end of the first or early in the second — and he’ll be a great pro right away. He can start and have a lot of catches. In every game I watched, he made a pro catch, a tough catch in traffic, a great run where he avoids someone. He’s just ready. And all he did at the Senior Bowl was practice great and play great.”
