Top 5 "Significant" Risers:

• Jeremiah Attaochu is the latest Georgia Tech product to flash amazing athletic ability. His best position is definitely as a 34 rush LB. Though he could be an option as a 9T ("Wide 9 DE") in a 4 man front. Either way, his year one contribution will be on obvious passing downs.
• Through this draft evaulation process, it seems as if Joel Bitonio is more of what people thought Taylor Lewan was. The former Wolfpack LT had dominated lesser competition all of last year, as well as at the Senior Bowl. Specifically, his footwork and mean streak is being praised by many.
• Even though he had a recent citation for operating a vehicle while under the influence, I don't think that it will hinder his rise up the draft board. Over the last few weeks, Bradley Roby's differientiated atheticism and 2012 game tape has outweighed a poor 2013 campaign. Stock up.
• This opinion might be influenced by the Browns signing of Alex Mack, but I believe there is an increased importance on smart pivot men that have a nasty streak. With so many teams having a giant hole at the position, Weston Richburg could easily justify a 1st round selection.
• I know I have a problem, when I start to drool thinking about what I see and hear about Pierre Desir. You can put a sign on me saying bandwagon fan, but this very small school prospect has all the measurables, movement skills, and athletic ability to make any scout giddy.

Top 3 "Significant" Fallers:

• Sadly I think that Marquise Lee's left knee injury has zapped some of his mojo. Pair that up with a high 2013 drop rate, he could slip down a little bit in the draft. That said, Lee is still s great route runner, who can get himself open. And maybe, just maybe his knee recovers fully... we'll see.
• During the National Championship game, Dee Ford flashed amazing explosion and ability to run the arch to the QB. Immediately, I knew he was an 34 rush OLB... but a pretty damn good one at it. But his lean frame, inability to shed blocks, and lack of counter moves screams PROJECT.
• My "I hate Teddy" parade rolls on. Now days, I think the only thing holding up Teddy Bridgewater is the media. Most NFL GMs and scouts have bailed from any comments that they might have made praising Bridgewater. Teddy needs a conservative offense (badly) to succeed.
