Since there's not much going on this time of year...

I thought I would look at some of the profiles of our draft picks.
PFF caught my eye and here is a look at our selections that fall within their top 250.
It really shows how wrong evaluations can be relative to the draft as we saw in the Fanspeak simulation site.
They had Vernon Adams III ranked at 111 out of the top 250 and he wasn't even drafted as one example.

Here's the list from Pro Football Focus and it doesn't include Nick Vannett, Kenny Lawler and Zac Brooks in their top 250. It's also interesting how closely they have our OL picks ranked.

20. Jarran Reed, Defensive Interior, Alabama
With our second-best grade against the run in 2015, Reed is rarely moved at the point of attack and he knows how to shed in make plays, as indicated by his nation-leading run stop percentage of 13.4 percent. He can play nose tackle, but also looks the part of a 3-4 defensive end if needed.

87. Alex Collins, RB, Arkansas
Running in Arkansas’ pro-style offense, Collins posted the eighth-highest grade in the class as he showed the quickness and vision to maximize his offensive line’s blocking, but lacked the open-field ability to create a high percentage of big plays.

105. C.J. Prosise, RB, Notre Dame
Prosise had a breakout 2015 campaign with the No. 10 rushing grade in the draft class while adding versatility as a receiver

182. Germain Ifedi, OT, Texas A&M
Long limbed, ideal tackle body, with production that scares us. His 96.2 pass blocking efficiency was 49th in this class.

189. Joey Hunt, C, TCU
Though undersized, Hunt moves well and his No. 3 run-blocking grade projects well in a zone-blocking system, particularly an outside zone scheme.

190. Rees Odhiambo, G, Boise State
Odhiambo flashes power in the run game, but he whiffs on too many blocks, leading to a -2.2 run blocking grade to go with a +2.0 grade as a pass protector as Boise State’s left tackle.

210. Quinton Jefferson, Defensive Interior, Maryland
After a flying start Jefferson’s 2014 season was cut short by a torn ACL but he rebounded with a strong year, particularly against the run in 2015. Though he can be moved by double teams his 22 stops against the run show his ability to be both productive and disruptive.
