Michael Hoomanawanui, TE, Illinois
Ht 6' 4" Wt 264
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: This pick was made with the Rams obviously looking for depth in their tight end position. Though he seems like a strictly blocking type tight end, Hoomanawanui can probably provide goal line and short yardage receiving aid. His history of injuries is troubling though.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Battled through injury in an inefficient offense as a senior, but has the size and reliable short-to-intermediate receiving skills to become an ideal No. 2 tight end.
NFL projection: Fourth- to fifth-round pick.
133.) Seattle Seahawks
Kam Chancellor, S, Virginia Tech
Ht: 6' 3" Wt: 231
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: An in the box safety much like Taylor Mays, Chancellor might not have the coverage skills to be a starter in the NFL. His impact should come on special teams, and he could serve as a short term starter if injury thrust him into the starting line up.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Looks the part and has rare size, but few large safeties succeed without exceptional athletic ability, and Chancellor’s tight hips and stiff movement could force a position change to weak-side linebacker.
NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.
134.) Philadelphia Eagles
Ricky Sapp, DE, Clemson
Ht: 6' 4" Wt: 252
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Sapp is an intriguing prospect in the fact that he has the physical skills to get the quarterback as an edge rusher in a 3-4 defense. The reason why he lasted as long as he did is his production never matched his measurables.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report: Sapp had only 17.5 career sacks, but his explosive first step makes him one of the coveted pass rushers in the draft. He’ll struggle to add the weight necessary to remain at defensive end in a 4-3 scheme and isn’t experienced enough for most teams running this alignment to project him to linebacker. He’s best suited to be a rush linebacker in a 3-4 scheme.
135.) Atlanta Falcons
Dominique Franks, CB, Oklahoma
Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 194
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Franks is an instant impact player on special teams and could develop into a nickel or dime corner but provides excellent value because of his versatility. He doesn't have the physical skills or numbers that one might desire but is a solid football player, none the less.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Bucked the trend that has seen underclassmen return to OU for their senior seasons and would have benefitted from another year of seasoning. Tape résumé is less than appetizing and did not light up the Combine. Brings value as a return man, but timid football temperament, overall inconsistency and mental deficiencies cannot be overlooked. Will bring the most value as a returner.
NFL projection: Mid-round pick.
136.) Kansas City Chiefs
Kendrick Lewis, S, Mississippi
Ht: 6' 0" Wt: 198
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Another player expected to make an impact on special teams, Lewis is a tough player that overcomes his deficiencies by putting out great effort. Will probably never be more than a solid reserve safety.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Try-hard, more-quick-than-fast former receiver who made strides as a senior, but quickness is just average and speed and athletic deficiencies were too glaring at the Combine not to trouble decision makers. Could have to stick in the box and make a mark on special teams to make it.
NFL projection: Late draftable pick.
