Lee Suggs, RB, Virginia Tech, 6’0” 205 LBS, 40 time: 4.49

Jordan: Excellent feature runner. Has a rare kind of size (taller and leaner than your average back) and very good speed with excellent drive and power. Has superb balance, cutting ability, and just a feel for where the creases are and where the open field is. He also has good hands and is a very natural receiver out of the backfield. If they plan on using a good blocking fullback, which they now have in Terrelle Smith, and a devastating blocking tight end, which they now have in Kellen Winslow II, he could be poised for a huge breakout season. Jeff Garcia is incredibly lucky to have him in the backfield. This guy is infinitely better than where William Green was the past couple of years, but with Green’s rededication, they might have a formidable 1-2 punch.

William Green, RB, Boston College, 6'0" 215 LBS, 40 time: 4.47

Jordan: Looks like a different William Green. Looks to have gotten faster in the off-season. If he has the speed working for him, he’s a tremendous breakaway runner. He has moves and he has a feel for where the open areas are. He’s not the most powerful guy but he’s not Clinton Portis-soft either. He’ll at least run through arm tackles. He can chop his steps and has excellent ability to cut outside of the hole. If the line is blocking well enough to support the blocking of Winslow and Smith, he’s going to have a good year.

Terrelle Smith, FB, Arizona St. 6’0” 255 LBS, 40 time: 4.85

Jordan: Solid blocking fullback who knows his limitations and does his job. Not a devastator with a whole lot of natural strength, pop, or explosiveness in his blocks, but solid enough. Has a big body and puts it on someone and gets his pads low and he can also cut you out of the play. Mediocre hands and marginal abilities in space make him an unappealing target as a runner or receiver, but this just means that you know what you’re getting with him and he knows what he needs to work on all off-season and in practices and scrimmages and throughout training camp. He has one main job and that’s to open holes for the tailbacks, so he’d better be darn good at it, and while, again, he has never been a dominant blocker, he is a solid guy who does still help your running game as a blocker. Has a chance to make a huge impact in Cleveland, a team that hasn’t even really used a fullback the past three seasons in the Bruce Ariens’ offense.

Dennis Northcutt, WR, Arizona, 5'11" 175 LBS, 40 time: 4.44

Jordan: Has elite quickness and playmaking ability with the ball in his hands. Can make you miss, is a very nifty route runner, and has good speed. Somewhat inconsistent catching the ball but, with the things he gives you when he does catch it, you have to think he needs to be more involved. Has sizzling big-play ability. Has the speed to beat you deep, but with his lack of height, he’ll probably never be in the upper echelon of deep threats, but the option is there if you want to use it. He definitely has to see the field as a receiver more—he has the potential to emerge as a top playmaker in the same way that other return men/receivers like Steve Smith and Derrick Mason did.

Kellen Winslow, TE, Miami 6’4 240 LBS, 40 time: 4.55

Jordan: He's capable of hurting defenders more than a brutal motorcycle accident, but his attitude may prove to ruin a career that once looked like "can't miss" superstardom. If he recovers perfectly from the ACL injury, you'll see his fantastic athleticism and blocking next season. As a second-generation football player, he had the most polished technique as both a receiver and a blocker that I've ever seen out of a tight end. He has an INCREDIBLE attitude on the football field and will punish defenders in any way imaginable. Sadly, even before his injury on the onside kick against Dallas last season, his talents were going to waste as a result of the weak quarterback situation.
LeCharles Bentley, C, Ohio State

Jordan: Better at guard than center. That's not to knock him as a center, but I feel it's a waste of his abilities. Not only does he have exceptional strength, but he's a great athlete and explosive when pulling. He can explode out of his stance and attack players on the move almost like a modern-day Guy McIntyre. Really, everything just comes naturally to him. Even as a center, there's no doubt he outperformed the other "Pro Bowler," Olin Kreutz. He's a guy who can really be a huge factor in the running game, and he's pretty reliable in pass proteciton as well.

Jeff Faine, C, Notre Dame, 6’3” 303 LBS, 40 time: 4.89

Jordan: The total package. A warrior. Incredible natural strength, power, and leg drive to go along with superb speed and quickness. A lot of people felt he could be a terrific left tackle in the pros. Built naturally low to the ground, gets a low pad level and sets up his blocks with perfect, aggressive form. Strikes a blow through you and drives you out of the way. Superb athlete who can get out of the hole almost as quickly as anyone and lead the way on sweeps, draws, just normal pulls, and seals. Will be the line’s anchor for a decade and already helped them create more holes in the ground game last year than they had created in the entire history since returning as an expansion team.

Ryan Tucker, OT, Texas Christian, 6’6” 325 LBS, 40 time: 5.25

Jordan: Has settled down since the change of scenery. Horrendous in St. Louis, earned the nickname “revolving door” for good reason. But his pass protection has become the most solid and consistent of any of the Browns’ linemen outside of Jeff Faine. He has always had the attitude to be good, he plays with intensity and his toughness is undeniable. He’ll play with one arm if he has to, though he’ll be horrible as he was in St. Louis. Physically, he’s one of the top notch right tackles in the game. He’s tall, has long legs and that gives him a lot of natural range and makes him extremely difficult to beat in pass protection if you don’t beat him off the snap. He has slow feet but if he gets his hands on you and has correct leverage and overall body positioning, he’s going to own you. As far as run blocking is concerned, he’s very solid in-line and does a nice job of opening holes, and while he’s not dominating, he’s been a good addition to what has been a piss-poor offensive line over the years.

Melvin Fowler, G, Maryland, 6'3" 305 LBS

Jordan: Haven’t had a chance to really watch him, so I can’t really tell you.
Kelvin Garmon, G, Baylor, 6'2" 350 LBS

Jordan: Huge lineman with small production. Most of these hulking, fat lineman are actually very mediocre up there. He has a tight range and doesn’t extend his hands well. Basically, the best thing about him is that he’s huge and gets in the way. He’s not going to come out of his stance low and be a drive blocker and get movement and open holes. He’s going to stand up and just kinda take up room.

L.J. Shelton, OT, Eastern Michigan

Jordan: Huge guy with good technique. Not the athlete that people thought he was coming out but was a pretty solid left tackle even today in which almost every team has a Pro Bowl caliber guy out there. His wingspan alone makes him difficult to get around and he has been an above average run blocker on the left side. He uses his hands well and keeps guys in front of him on both run and pass but he can be beaten by quicker defensive ends who are able to get some separation from him. His best asset to this line is his size—he fit the offensive lineman mold that they liked when MaGinnis was coach. But Dennis Green, seeing his laziness and shit like that, decided to bench him and asked him to earn the right tackle spot from Anthony Clement. This is probably smart, as it's obvious Green would not have made this move had Leonard Davis not impressed at the position in camp. Davis played LT in college at an extremely high level, so perhaps he'll emerge as a Pro Bowler at the position, which is the most important position on an offensive line (assuming you have a right handed QB).

Orpheus Roye, DT, Florida State, 6'4 320 LBS

Jordan: Outstanding run stuffer. Built low to the ground, has a powerful base. Quick. Uses his hands well and separates, extremely disruptive inside. Plays the run better than many of the 320-LB monsters of the league. Extremely difficult to move out of there and gives consistent effort. Definitely a tremendous run stuffer. As far as pass rush is concerned, because of his quickness, he can get into the backfield and make some plays. He’ll slip around, underneath, or through blockers and create some havoc but he doesn’t have the pure speed and sharp quickness of a La’Roi Glover or Corey Simon. But those guys also don’t play the run as well as he does.

Andra Davis, MLB, Florida, 6'1" 255 LBS, 40 time: 4.76

Jordan: Just a natural playmaker. Doesn’t have great speed and athleticism nor is he incredibly strong but some guys just have that rare ability to produce without the physical tools. He has an outstanding feel for the game. He’s in-tune with the opposing offense and reads the whole field. He’s always where he’s supposed to be and often in even more areas. He shows the ability to slip blocks, pursue cleanly with consistency, and he is an excellent tackler. He wraps up and he hits hard. In pass coverage, his instincts again show themselves and he can disrupt any sort of passing game to the backs and he can get down the middle of the field and make a play. He has definitely emerged as a top 10 MLB in this league.

Brant Boyer, OLB, Arizona, 6'1" 240 LBS

Jordan: Blue collar linebacker. Very steady player. Doesn’t over commit on plays and play with reckless abandon but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t miss tackles. He WILL take bad angles of pursuit and give running backs lanes that they shouldn’t have. Lacks speed and range and can get swallowed up at the point of attack. Basically, he’s an average starting linebacker who can be used to compliment a playmaker or two in the corps.

Daylon McCutcheon, CB, USC, 5'10" 190 LBS, 40 yard dash: 4.36

Jordan: Diminutive but talented corner who has blazing speed and change-of-direction abilities. One of the most underrated corners in football. Can turn and run on the dime, and has all the makings of a shutdown corner aside from size. He can run into some problems when matched up with someone with the kind of height and leaping ability to take advantage of him, but as long as he's within a couple inches, he can pretty much shut his man down. He doesn't make a lot of plays, but he also doesn't give up a lot of big plays. As a result, he doesn't get the publicity he should.

Gary Baxter, CB, Baylor, 6'2" 215 LBS, 40 time: 4.48

Jordan: Converted safety had a rather smooth transition to corner. Tremendous athlete who has made tremendous strides since taking the role of #2 corner. Very good 4.45 speed and has the ability to recover on the deep ball. Will get lost in transition, however; oftentimes struggles to change direction. A top #2 corner and serviceable #1 corner, but ideal for the role opposite McAllister. His experience at safety gives them versatility AND a tougher, hard-nosed corner versus the run and a bigger hitter with receivers after they catch the football, which makes Will Demps and Ed Reed all the more intimidating, because receivers realize they just got hit by BAXTER…

Chris Crocker, S, Marshall, 5'11" 194 LBS, 40 time: 4.47

Jordan: Extremely impressive rookie season. Showed awareness, instincts, and tenacity. Very aggressive player who will attack the football, and if not, he’ll charge hard at the player with the ball in his hands. Shows good speed, smooth hips, and one of the plays that’ll stand out to most people who remember even hearing the name is his tackle of Dante Hall on a return that would’ve set the record for touchdown returns had Crocker not been there to spoil it. Crocker chased him down, broke down in space, and wrapped him up in an amazing feat of determination and athleticism. This guy should be seeing more action as the aging Robert Griffith starts to be phased out. This guy’s a good defensive back who has the speed to play either cornerback or safety and be a very solid one for a long time to come. But don’t expect him to ever be a shutdown corner—he’s not THAT physically gifted.

Brian Russell, S

Jordan: Good; plays the ball extremely well. Has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. He won’t come up and make any big hits, but he plays centerfield better than most. He has tremendous ancitipation and once in position to make the pick, his eyes light up and he just goes for it. Some guys are natural at that--that's the thing about racking up INTs while playing safety. It's not about who is the best athlete or even who has the best hands, but who is most aggressive and confident in going after the interception...who has the most feel. He's one of those kinds of guys.
