DE Da'Quan Bowers, Clemson (6'4, 280) -- He plays the run as well as any lineman in the country. Setting an edge, holding ground, penetration, great tackler...he does it all. It sounds odd for a player who led the nation in sacks, but I don't think he's going to have instant NFL success rushing the passer. His first step isn't amazing, so he'll have to continue refining his other moves (which he did this past season). He'll be a threat in time, though, and his ability to play in different fronts (3-4 and 4-3 end, 4-3 tackle) makes him more valuable than a pure speed rusher. Top five pick without a doubt.

S DeAndre McDaniel, Clemson (6'0, 212) -- He needs to change the way he tackles, relying less on those "big hit" shoulder charges. There are a lot of NFL players who will bounce off that shit easily. Coverage-wise, you can't teach some of his instincts. He has a feel for route combinations, mirroring receivers and beating them out of their own breaks!

CB JaQuez Jenkins, USF (6'2, 191) -- I'm only writing about him (redshirt freshman) to note one of the funniest / dumbest plays of the bowl season. Fourth quarter, he gets an interception and has a full convoy straight to the end-zone. While he's pointing out people to block (why do they point? the guys in front of them can't see it), he runs out of bounds! Nobody near him, five yards from scoring, and he literally runs onto the sideline.
