Biggest Movers Between Now & Draft Time

[Rob's House]

So who do you predict will rise and fall, or come out of the woodwork, between now and draft time? Last year Tannehill came out of relative obscurity to a top 10 projection. The year before some guy named Gabbert came out of nowhere to garner much attention. Who will be this years movers?

 

My Prediction: I see Geno Smith falling from blue chip to promising prospect, but still probably projected high throughout. I know his name's been tossed around for a while, but I see Aaron Murray shooting up the draft boards if he declares, which I assume he will. I also wouldn't be surprised to see McCarron rise up to get on the radar. And Logan Thomas needs to go back to school; I could see him going undrafted.

Totally agree on McCarron. Best game manager in college.

 

Top Risers right now:

Collin Klein

Alex Okafor

Sharrif Floyd (Jr.)

Joseph Randle (Jr.)

Shayne Skov

Kenny Stills (Jr.)

Quinton Patton

Arthur Brown

Stepfan Taylor

 

Fallers and Failers:

Matt Elam (Jr.)

Chase Thomas

Logan Thomas

Damontre Moore (Jr.)

Sean Porter

Omoregie Uzzi

Tharold Simon (Jr.)

Micah Hyde

Usually it's the guys with big physical skill that rise. Scouts start focusing on potential and forget about how they played in games.

 

I'm thinking Landry Jones makes a climb back up into 1st round consideration.

If Tyler Bray and Aaron Murray declare, you might see them jump too.

"Risers" and "fallers" on the draft rankings only exist in the minds of mock drafters. Anyone making a big jump or drop shows that the mock drafters were wrong and are correcting to what the real NFL scouts think.
