Realize that the Senior Bowl has yet to be played and the combine and individual workouts have yet to be conducted, but where do you see everyone going?

Peterson?
Nevis?
Shepard?
Ridley?
Tolliver?
Barksdale?
Jasper?

He's been a really solid tackle for four years in the SEC, without redshirting. I don't think he becomes a star tackle in the league, but I think he goes on to be a solid OL for 10-12 years. Hell, I'd take him over Stinchcom for the Saints.

I think Sheppard will be a good NFL LB, solid starter eventually but he won't be drafted very high unfortunately. Peterson i've seen to Denver at number 2, I think Nevis is in the same boat as Sheppard. Neither will impress at combine most likely, but are just good football players. Toliver will be interesting , same with Ridley (40 will be low)

ultimately it's going to come down the the dash to see where they get drafted, Toliver has to be solid in the hand drills, can't get lazy and drop passes or he will shoot down the charts. that's really his only knock, and maybe his route running

It is going to be interesting to watch. I've followed mocks for a few years, and historically, the most accurate one has Peterson at No.2 Nevis at No.39 Shepard at No.94, Ridley at No.107, and Tolliver is just outside of the 7th round... so he'll likely get picked up at the tail end once the Comp. picks are handed out.

Barksdale and Jasper supposedly go UDFA

will have to see how the combine goes, but as of now I would say:

Peterson- top 5

Nevis- early 2nd

Shep- 4th

Ridley-6th

Tolliver-late 3rd early 4th

Barksdale-5th

Jasper 7th-UDFA

I think someone is getting a great WR that late with Terrance tolliver...With him getting better in the NFL with a good QB he will be an easy target with his size

I agree. Tolliver is under radar b/c of the QB play during his tenure. After measurements and workouts he'll be in the second round, maybe even late 1st.

Definatly, out of all of the WR's I think he was the unhappiest with the QB play.

If i'm lucky my cowboys get patrick peterson....him being their at 9 is probably better chance winning the texas lotto...which would be the same

Patrick Peterson goes to Denver with the 2nd pick.

Buffalo trades up with Carolina to get Nick Fairley from Denver. Denver is then left with PP. Carolina gets their guy anyways, AJ Green.

Barksdale will be drafted by the 5th round. Tolliver will benefit from Blackmon and others dropping out of the draft, should go in 4th. Nevis will have the biggest fall in the draft after the combine, primarily because of measurables. He'll probably come inat around 6' which will kill him. He is not a nose in the NFL, and not that many teams run a 4-3, so de is his only shot and there aren't many 6' de's in the league. I think Shep will surprise a lot of people with where he goes. Don't be surprised if he is gone by the end of the 3rd.

I see him playing the 3 technique spot in the pros in a small 4-3 front, Indy would be a fantastic spot because they need someone there, but he could go to pretty much any 4-3 team. Someone is gonna get a steal if he lasts past the second round.
