Perrish Cox, CB, Oklahoma State
Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 195
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Cox is another prospect whose numbers are not indicative of his play on the field. He is an excellent returner and provides value for the Broncos right away. He could develop into an excellent nickel corner or possibly a starting corner.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Overhyped press-and-trail, non- contact corner with intriguing ball skills and kick-return ability that have bloated his value. Pedestrian 40-time, lack of physicality and off-coverage limitations will turn off zone-cover teams. Is too undisciplined on and off the field, and his talent might not be worth the headache a team incurs by bringing him into the clubhouse. Has impact potential as a returner but comes with a “buyer beware” label.
NFL projection: Second- to third-round pick.
138.) Oakland Raiders
Walter McFadden, DB, Auburn
Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 172
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: McFadden is a prototype nickel corner and one of the sleepers in this draft. He could help the Raiders immediately because of his excellent instincts and disciplined play.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Confident, competitive, thinly built man-cover corner with speed who has a knack for shadowing receivers. Lack of stature is limiting, but most of his flaws are coachable, and he will be one of the first non-Combine participants off the board.
NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.
139.) New York Jets
John Conner, RB, Kentucky
Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 246
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: My favorite player in the entire draft, "The Terminator" is what every football team wants in a football player. Willing to play special teams and a violent run and pass blocker, the Jets have found a way to improve their run game even more. Conner plays football like a bull in a china shop.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report: The few NFL teams still longing for a throwback will keep tabs on Conner. A former walk-on, he emerged as a valuable special teams performer and lead blocker early in his career. As head coach Rich Brooks gained more trust in him, Conner was used more often as a receiver and runner.
140.) Buffalo Bills
Ed Wang, OT, Virginia Tech
Ht: 6' 5" Wt: 314
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Wang, the former left tackle for VT, does not have the elite speed to take on the best NFL pass rushers. He could be an excellent left guard and has the opportunity to come in and start for a Bills' line that is lacking in talent.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report: A former tight end, Wang is a work in progress and struggled with penalties last season. Scouts would also like to see him add more strength and toughness. However, teams will have a hard time ignoring his intriguing combination of size and pure athletic ability in the middle rounds. Wang should be able to provide a team with a legitimate developmental prospect as left tackle.
141.) Chicago Bears
Joshua Moore, DB, Kansas State
Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 188
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Moore is the type of prospect that flies under the radar often but the Bears know he could be a very good nickel corner. Moore has decent size for his position, but his lack of speed will over shadow his excellent ability.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: A narrow-framed, underdeveloped, more-quick-than-fast cover man with good ball skills, Moore was quietly productive for two seasons but could have used another year to fill out his frame and improve as a tackler. Could develop into a nickel corner and contribute on special teams.
NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.
