Top 64 worth a look
remember it's a big board, not a mock
28. Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon: At a rangy 6-6, 243 pounds, Jordan's length and explosiveness off the edge make him a matchup nightmare for opponents and a must-see athlete at the combine. Unfortunately, while this Jordan might be able to "fly" in shorts like Mike, he hasn't been as productive as his athleticism might lead you to believe once the chin-straps are buckled. Jordan led the Ducks as a junior with 13 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks, but wasn't as productive in 2012 (10.5 tackles for loss, five sacks) and has struggled with nagging injuries throughout his career.
29. *Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State: In terms of pure talent, Hankins deserves to be ranked among the top five prospects in the country. With light feet and shocking athleticism for a man listed at 6-3, 320 pounds, Hankins can be a superstar. Unfortunately, his motor too often appears to be in neutral rather than overdrive. After registering an impressive 11 tackles for loss in a breakout sophomore campaign, the Buckeye defender had just five this season, including only one sack. Despite his drop in production, Hankins is entering the 2013 draft. He clearly has talent, but so too did other notable Ohio State busts like Vernon Gholston and Dan Wilkinson.
30. * Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU: Mingo possesses the frame (6-5, 240 pounds) and athleticism to warrant top 10 consideration, but at this point he remains a largely unpolished product who relies on his natural tools rather than technique to make plays. Given Mingo's upside, it is easy to imagine him terrorizing NFL quarterbacks off the edge as a multi-dimensional defender. Considering Mingo's relatively pedestrian numbers (38 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks) this season, as well as the struggles of other former highly regarded LSU defensive linemen in the NFL, the general manager who selects him that high is rolling the dice.

decent Top 50 from FOX
12. Dion Jordan, Outside Linebacker, Oregon: A converted high school tight end, Jordan excelled at defensive end at Oregon. In the pros, he’s one of those 3-4/4-3 hybrid linebackers. He reminds me a lot of Aldon Smith. Super athletic, the big knock on him is a bum shoulder. We’ll see how that’s holding up in Indianapolis this week.
15. Barkevious Mingo, Linebacker, LSU: I’ve seen Mingo pegged anywhere from the top five to the end of the first round. He’s a top-20 guy. Capable of playing either inside or outside at the next level, the 6-5, 240-pound probably fits best as a 3-4 OLB. He didn’t have a huge 2012, but scouts are still high on his production at the next level.
