After a week of college football there were a few players who caught my eye, from a ball hawk safety to a speedy back ive got a few who will hear there name on draft day

Brandon Pettigrew - The Best tight end in the draft, I know your thinking what about Chase Coffman but Brandon has better hands and is a better blocker. Last year he had 35 catches for over 500 yards and four tds which shows the kind of player he really is considering he was caching balls thrown from an average qb. Pettigrew is by far the fastest tight end in this years class which is loaded with future starters like Jermaine Gresham and Travis Beckum. Brandon would be a first round pick if it wasent for him assaulting a police officer (by elbowing his chest) which may even drop him into the early third round but the risk that someone takes, they surely wont regret

Devin Moore is another back from a non bcs school who will have a big impact in the NFL. Hes a small back at 5'11, 191 pounds but what he lacks in size he makes up for in raw speed. He is a great returner and has returned a few for touchdowns in his career. Moore is the next Leon Washington and a great value in the fourth round

LaMarcus Coker was Tennesses leading rusher a few years back but was kicked off the team due to falling a few drug test. Since then he has joined Hampton and is doing pretty good. With that being siad he is one of the fastest runners in this draft running around a 4.26 which by any standards is amazing. For that reason he will be drafted in the late seventh round and has the potential to be a special back in the NFL that is if he can kick his drug addiction


Darcel McBath is going to be an impact safety in the NFL. Running a 4.45 he has the speed to track down backs when there in open field and come scross field to make a tackle on a receiver and would be a great pickup in the fourth round though he is a better fit at corner kinda like a Dwight Lowery
