J.P. Losman, QB, Tulane, 6'2" 217 LBS
Jordan: He's really surprising me. He shows a soft touch on his passes...pretty good accuracy. He quietly had a fairly decent year...and he only had one receiver (albeit, a tremendous one). He might yet be something.

Willis McGahee, RB, Miami

Jordan:I really think he's starting to get back to where he was physically. I don't think he'll ever regain that same ridiculous open-field, track star speed he once had, but he looks a lot quicker coming out of the block and he shows tremendous vision and balance, as always. He understands just when to press the hole and when to cut back. He has always had good hands out of the backfield and shows awareness in the open field. His power is starting to show a little more as he has played himself back into football condition. It's been a long road back, but I think he'll be a consistent 1,200 yard rushing guy for the next several years, possibly in the Curtis Martin mold.

Daimon Shelton, FB, Sacramento State, 6'0" 262 LBS
Jordan: One of the most underrated, under-appreciated players in the game. He's one of the very best lead blockers in football, yet for some reason, most people have never even heard of the guy. He has been kicking linebackers' asses for years and truly gets NO press. He's a better blocker than most of the blockers who have been hyped over the years--William Henderson, Mack Strong, and the recent atrocity, the 2004 and beyond version of Fred Beasley. He is a big guy with a lot of power and generates a lot of pop. He has no hidden aspirations of doing anything else; he just plays like he wants to be the best blocker he can be, and he is really, really good at it. Aside from that, he'll catch a handful of worthless passes a year as a checkdown outlet. Who cares?

Eric Moulds, WR

Jordan: He's truly lost a step. The injuries and age (probably more the former) have finally caught up to him. He just isn't nearly as fast or explosive as he used to be. He's still got the size and is a very competitive guy, so he's a productive possession receiver, but the big-play ability is all but history. He doesn't make anywhere near the amount of plays he used to make after the catch, and he used to also have the ability to just run by you and catch the deep ball. He can still be very useful as a #2 receiver, but he's definately winding down his career.

Lee Evans, WR, Wisconsin

Jordan: He has phenomenal talent, but he's been very constricted in that offense. He can catch the ball regardless of where he is on the field, but he isn't being given as many opportunities to demonstrate that ridiculous speed and athleticism down the field. In large part, that problem lies with the quarterback situation (Losman/Holcomb). If they can ever find a guy who can actually get it done in that scheme, he will find himself in a Pro Bowl or two. He and Moulds have the ability to be one of the league's dynamic duos, but as it is with any other receivers, they need a quarterback who can get them the ball and a scheme that can give them a chance to get open.

Mike Williams, OT, Texas

Jordan: Hasn’t been nearly what they wanted coming out of college, but he is a solid in-line run blocker with quickness. His size alone makes him a mismatch for anyone playing on the strong side, so when you see Travis Henry or Willis McGahee trying to get it going on the ground, expect to see them try it over to the right side of the line. He’s been a solid enough pass blocker, though certainly no Kyle Turley. He uses his tall frame well and has above-average feet. The potential to emerge as a Pro Bowler is always there with enough work, but I just get the sense that he’s really lazy and doesn’t have the desire to be a perennial Pro Bowl RT.

Chris Villarial, G

Jordan: All those years in Chicago and I still have idea what this guy is. I’ve seen plenty of Bears games and watched the offensive line, but he’s the guy that always blended in. I’ll be sure to scout him now that he’s in Buffalo, but right now, I really can’t give you anything.

Bennie Anderson, G, Tennessee State, 6'5" 345 LBS

Jordan: Just huge. Can be an imposing force in the running game and get movement off the line. The problems are that he’s not athletic and he gets called for a lot of penalties. But he definitely has value to them as an enormous power guard.

Sam Adams, DT

Jordan: Wearing down but certainly he’s still not someone you want to run on. He’s huge, he plays with a low center of gravity, he uses his hands well and always keeps himself at a perfect depth with the offensive lineman/men to keep runners from being able to run over to his side. There was once a time when he had a lot more quickness off the snap (his Seattle days) and would penetrate through the gap and make plays in the backfield, plus turn it up another notch as a pass rusher.

Aaron Schobel, DE

Jordan: Very good speed off the edge. Shows a great motor and is relentless once he’s up the field. Stronger than you’d think. He can counter off his up-field charge and bull rush. He keeps pursuing regardless of how slight the chance is that he’ll actually get the quarterback. They really like to slant him to give him an advantage over those bigger blocking left tackles and give him a shot at beating them with his first and second step quickness.

Chris Kelsay, DE, Nebraska

Jordan: The typical white Nebraska defensive end. Very good speed and athletic ability, but not a very strong or powerful player. Known for his motor and white guy disruptive abilities, just like Grant Wistrom. Flashed the talent that at one point made him a first round pick prospect last year. He gains momentum quickly out of his stance, uses his arms and hands well, and shows surprising strength and good leverage off the edge. The main problem is that they already have one of these types of guys, and what they really could’ve used is…well, more of a power type of player at left end. But anyway, this guy still has a lot of upside and you never know what the Shoebel/Kelsay duo might accomplish if the redundancy of the tandem doesn’t anger the football gods first.

Takeo Spikes, OLB

Jordan: MAN is he overrated! This guy gets all of that hype for being just a good linebacker, and a big-time underachiever at that. Has the athleticism to make all kinds of plays, but just doesn’t do it that often. Gets caught up in trash, doesn’t shed well, and isn’t a big hitter. He has great speed and moves well in every direction, and he flows to the ball nicely. He’s a GOOD player, but he’s not in the top ten OLBs in this game, much less top linebackers period.

London Fletcher, MLB

Jordan: Has great speed and playmaking flair. People always talk about how short he is, but that might be why he’s such an outstanding wrap-up tackler. He’s the one “dive for the legs” tackling MLB I respect….because as soon as he gets you, you’re going down right there, he doesn’t just trip you up. He whipes you out and your head bounces off the ground. He just stops you in your tracks with that method, and because it’s not even a big hit, it’s even more frustrating. He runs sideline to sideline and he penetrates and makes big plays in the backfield. He is all-or-nothing in coverage. He’s a frequent burn victim because he takes so many chances, but he’s also an interception machine. He’s just a big play guy, but he also has defined the “sacrifices the integrity of the defense” line. I think I’d rather have the asshole on my side, though I’d still much rather have Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, Ed Hartwell, Jamie Winborn, or Al Wilson.

Nate Clements, CB, Ohio State

Jordan: Pretty close to a shutdown corner (a top-10, almost certainly top-5 cover guy), but it's his tackling ability that always jumped out at me. All the hype went to Antoine Winfield over the years for this category, but he was equally adept as a run stuffer—like a 4th linebacker, and he still is. The guy DOESN’T MISS A TACKLE, no matter what. He’s absolutely unbelievable at wrap-up tackling, and he can deliver the big hit along with it. He's physical, has an incredible knack for the game, and he's just a spectacular athlete. Yeah, I know, a cliche line, but in his case, it's undoubtedly true. He has great speed, sub-4.4 (high 4.3-type), outstanding body control, leaping ability, and balance. He’s a top notch punt returner with his speed, burst, and the ease at which he makes moves. He can cover just about anyone, and he has, since his rookie year, pretty much. He has excellent hands and outstanding ball skills. A few more Pro Bowls are in his future, and with enough hard work, he could be in Canton one day.

Troy Vincent, CB,

Jordan: People always say that he’s slowed down just because he’s been in the league for more than a decade. But I don’t really know if that’s true. The speed is still there, he still shows top-notch cover skills. If anything’s different, it could be that his body doesn’t recover as quickly from the wear and tear of an NFL season. He seems to battle a lot of injuries these days, and that’s taking away from a guy who would be damn close to a shutdown corner. Anyway, I’m really not sure how he will do in Buffalo given that older players (well, he’s 32 or 33) usually bottom out when they move on to another team, but physically, I think he’s still got what it takes to be a second #1 corner for them and allow them to maintain one of the best pass defenses in football.

Lawyer Milloy, S

Jordan: He never was much in pass coverage. He doesn’t have great speed or athleticism. He’s a diagnostic safety who relies on his knowledge of the game to make plays. He reads the quarterbacks’ eyes, he recognizes offenses’ tendencies, and he gets great jumps on the plays. He’s at his best up in the box where he can either blitz or fill against the run, and if it’s play action, he does an excellent job of not getting spun around and just calmly moving in the direction of the QB’s eyes. Over-pursuing is not a concern—if there is one, it’s that he just won’t be able to get there. He’s just not fast or athletic and he relies on his intelligence and knowing where to be and when to make plays. His playing days are definitely numbered (a maximum of 2 more years before this guy won’t be able to start for anyone).
