E.J. Wilson, DE, North Carolina
Ht: 6' 4" Wt: 286
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Wilson is a big defensive end that lacks the speed to be a pass rusher. His best fit is on the left side and his run stopping ability is adequate. Seattle needs help at the defensive end position, and Wilson could help by taking up snaps as a part of the rotation.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Strictly a bull-rusher, Wilson’s ability to overpower the edge stood out in the Texas vs. the Nation all-star game. Could stick as a base left end in a “40” front or potentially as a five-technique in an odd front, although he does not have ideal length for traditional “30” fronts. Needs to loosen his hips but has potential to develop into a solid pro.
NFL projection: Late draftable pick.
128.) Detroit Lions
Jason Fox, OT, Miami
Ht: 6' 7" Wt: 303
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Fox is coming off a knee injury which dropped his draft stock. He may not be athletic enough to play left tackle in the pros, as he did in college, but he has enough skill to possibly convert to left guard.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Underdeveloped tight end who will never be a bulldozer but has enough size, athletic ability and versatility to fit squarely into a zone scheme, likely on the right side. Has starter potential and could be a solid positional blocker.
NFL projection: Mid-round pick.
129.) Indianapolis Colts
Jacques McClendon, OG, Tennessee
Ht 6' 3" Wt 324
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: A relative unknown, McClendon seems to be the type of run blocker that the Colts have been lacking for several seasons. His ability to knock people off the ball should be of great interest because Bill Polian is known for drafting gems at the offensive guard position in the late rounds.
GM Jr scouting report: McClendon is a strong guard prospect that I knew nothing off when I began evaluating Tennessee, but when he torqued a DT off his feet early in Georgia game he grabbed my attention. He is a thickly built guard with the strength to physically dominate man once he locks up on man with both hands, but he needs to show more aggressiveness as a blocker to take full advantage of his playing strength. He is not going to fit every team’s of- fensive system because he is not as productive in pass pro when he has to move his feet a lot, but for teams looking for strong and physical blockers who can control their man he would fit perfectly. Overall, I doubt McClendon will be drafted as highly as we have him rated, if he is drafted at all, but he has everything it takes to develop into a very good # 3 guard or solid starting guard. He reminds us a bunch of former NFL guard Bennie Anderson who was undrafted out of Tennessee State, but developed into a solid starting guard in the NFL
130.) Arizona Cardinals
O'Brien Schofield, DE, Wisconsin
Ht 6' 2" Wt 221
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: An excellent undersized edge rusher, Schofield could be converted into an outside linebacker in the Cardinals defensive front. His motor never stops running, and I believe that if he can overcome the devastating injury he suffered at the Senior Bowl, he could develop into a starter.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Active, competitive, productive, undersized college defensive end whose draft stock will slip due to injury. Is a candidate for the PUP list his first season but could be valuable if used properly and is able to return to full health. Could be deployed as a situational pass rusher allowed to pin his ears back and tee off from a wide nine-technique in nickel situations and groomed as a rush end. Could also fit as a hybrid linebacker in a “30” front. Would have warranted mid-round consideration prior to untimely injury. NFL projection: Sixth- to seventh-round pick.
131.) Cincinnati Bengals
Roddrick Muckelroy, OLB, Texas
Ht 6' 2" Wt 246
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Muckelroy is the first Bengals draft pick that is not a freak athlete. He is, however, a great candidate for special teams and could provide depth to an already deep linebacker core.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Active, disciplined, assignment- sound “Will” linebacker whose football character and solid intangibles buoy an average athletic skill set. Competes, gives consistent effort and puts the time in to get better. Has traits to be a core special-teams player.
NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.
