BORTLES (PICTURED): “I saw him, went to practice. He’s a top athlete. I don’t think he’s an accomplished passer . ... I think he can be good, but I don’t think he can be great.” BRIDGEWATER: “I was surprised I liked him as much as I did. He’s very accurate. He’s a passer first and a runner sec- ond. He’s a lot better athlete than people think. If you look at the two bowl games (Miami and Florida), whenever he had to play on a big stage, he’s done well. He’s my best quarterback. Only thing I don’t like about him is his frame.” MANZIEL: “I think he’s a great athlete. I don’t know if he’s a great quarterback. ... He’s very instinctive and has got a great feel … He’s gonna bring a media circus with him. This guy loves attention and loves media. Not sure how players will react to that. I enjoy watching him play.” CARR: “(My) second-best quarterback. ... strong-armed guy. (He’s) better player than his brother (David, who was Houston’s No. 1 pick in 2002). ... Terrific person and settled and he won’t be begging for attention.” MURRAY: “I like Aaron Murray. He’s very accurate.” WIDE RECEIVERS PLAYER, SCHOOL HT. WT. ARM HAND 40 BP VJ BJ SS R 1.

Not very good as an in-line blocker.” SEFERIAN-JENKINS: “One lazy son of a gun, but he has talent. He has good hands, can block when he wants to block.

Not a real strong, tough guy.” BITONIO: “Didn’t think he was physical. ... went down to Senior Bowl and did a nice job. Just needs to get bigger and stronger.” JACKSON: “He’s got a weight problem. He’s an area guy, good in short area. Once you get him out in space he can’t run.” YANKEY: “Plays high, gets pushed back to the quarterback. ... can kick out and block.” THOMAS: “Very good player . ...

All power, strong … talented, inconsistent effort, good athlete. ... runs with high pad level, not a natural pass rusher, a power guy.” LAWRENCE: “Has a good take-off, but he’s under- sized and not physical against the run.” EALY: “I have a problem with the guy. When people don’t block him, he looks good. ... (He’s) a run around guy, not strong, soft vs. the run. Not as ex- plosive and strong as (Michael) Sam. When he tries to play square and (offensive linemen) get their hands on him, they stop him.” FORD (PICTURED): “Looks like he can play in space. Explosive pass rusher … terrific player.

This guy can rush the passer. He’s the entire package. As good a player as there is in the draft. Top player, can play in 3-man front, 4-man front. Can play in space. Instinctive.” BARR: “To me he’s a second. Works out well and looks beautiful. Best thing is he can rush the passer. He’s Von Miller-type, explosiveness off the ball. Bet- ter athlete than Miller. Really bright, but I don’t see instincts and toughenss. Not instinctive and he’s very soft. He’s gonna be a boom or a bust, no inbetween.” SHAZIER: “He’s better against run than pass. Great speed and range.” ATTAOCHU: “I think he is a pass rusher. He struggles in space. He is very stiff. Explosive rusher. Plays mainly 7-technique. Explosive take-off, doesn’t use his hands. Has nice dip. Had problems with his stiffness.” MURPHY: “Excellent motor and such a technician and such a great finisher. Doesn’t look artist … reminds me of Clay Matthews. Not as athletic, not as fast, just trying to compare (their) motor and (ability to) finish.” VAN NOY: “When he doesn’t get blocked he makes plays … he catches blocks.” CORNERBACKS PLAYER, SCHOOL HT.

CLOWNEY: “He’ll end up being the top pick. ... can’t bypass a guy like that. Very talented,he’s explosive … People got down on him because expectations were so high. But it’s allthere. At the end of the game with game on the line, he makes plays.”

TUITT: “Big, strong guy, plays high. ... I don’t thinkhe’ll be a pass rusher. All power, strong … talented,inconsistent effort, good athlete. ... runs with highpad level, not a natural pass rusher, a power guy.”LAWRENCE: “Has a good take-off, but he’s under-sized and not physical against the run.” EALY: “I have a problem with the guy. When peopledon’t block him, he looks good. ... (He’s) a runaround guy, not strong, soft vs. the run. Not as ex-plosive and strong as (Michael) Sam. When he triesto play square and (offensive linemen) get theirhands on him, they stop him.”FORD (PICTURED): “Looks like he can play in space.

Explosive pass rusher … terrific player. Excellent pass rusher, excellent body control,good pad level. … limited drop exposure … strong for his size, good technique and handuse. Plays bigger than his size.”CRICHTON: “Second-rounder. I thought he was an excellent pass rusher.”

DONALD (PICTURED): “One heck of a player. Extremely quick. He’s strong, he’s gotta be a 3(technique) because he doesn’t have bulk to play a 1. He has some Warren Sapp in him.

Got Sapp’s quickness, strength. Better than Nix, butNix is 330 pounds, big people will wear him down.”HAGEMAN: “He plays high, only thing I don’t likeabout him. He’s certainly a talented guy. The more Iwatch him, the more I like him. Was a tight end, onlysecond year on defense. He’s strong.”NIX: “Dominating player. Plays with decent motor.One technique, can dominate line of scrimmage.”JERNIGAN: “He’s a good player. He’s just short. He’squick, can play with strength.”MCCULLERS: “Big strong guy. When he wants toplay, he dominates. Can’t find people 6-7, 348 with11-inch hands, and long arms.”

JONES: “Doesn’t work out that well, but really good player and can really dominate … hada good week at the Senior Bowl. ... a first-round talent, then at the Combine he runs 5.4.”

He really hasgreat feel for zones and he is one heck ofthe player. Everyone says he can’t do thisand can’t do that. I tell them, ‘You showme.’ He’s Chris Spielman. He’s gonna playfor 10 years and make plays.”SMITH: “Good space and chase because theguy can run. Don’t know if he could playstrong safety.”BROWN: “A big, thick guy.

MACK (PICTURED): “He’s probably a top-five talent. This guy can rush the passer. He’s theentire package. As good a player as there is in the draft. Top player, can play in 3-man

front, 4-man front. Can play in space. Instinctive.”BARR: “To me he’s a second. Works out well andlooks beautiful. Best thing is he can rush the passer.He’s Von Miller-type, explosiveness off the ball. Bet-ter athlete than Miller. Really bright, but I don’t seeinstincts and toughenss. Not instinctive and he’svery soft. He’s gonna be a boom or a bust, no inbetween.”SHAZIER: “He’s better against run than pass. Greatspeed and range.”ATTAOCHU: “I think he is a pass rusher. He strugglesin space. He is very stiff. Explosive rusher. Playsmainly 7-technique. Explosive take-off, doesn’t use

his hands. Has nice dip. Had problems with his stiffness.”MURPHY: “Excellent motor and such a technician and such a great finisher. Doesn’t lookartist … reminds me of Clay Matthews. Not as athletic, not as fast, just trying to compare(their) motor and (ability to) finish.”VAN NOY: “When he doesn’t get blocked he makes plays … he catches blocks.”

FIRST ROUND

5Quarterbacks drafted by the ClevelandBrowns in the first four rounds over the past10 years, the most by any franchise. TheQBs include two first-rounders (Bran-don Weeden 2012, BradyQuinn 2007) and a third-rounder (Colt McCoy 2010).

4Teams who have invested a first-round picktwice for a quarterback in the past 10 years.They are the Titans (Jake Locker 2011, VinceYoung 2006), the Bills ( E.J. Manuel 2013, J.P.Losman 2004), the Redskins (Robert Griffin2012, Jason Campbell 2005) and Broncos(Tim Tebow 2010, Jay Cutler 2005).

To me if that quarterbackcame out, he’d be thefirst pick in the draft.”
