I've been reading through some prospect profiles and have been looking for some guys beyond the 1st round that could be potential diamonds in the rough. Certain names have been discussed before: Shawn Crable, J Leman, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, anyone from LSU. Jordy Nelson's name has come up and of course, Jerod Mayo, so I'll leave these guys out. (Incidentally, I really like Crable in the 2nd round if we can get him.) If anybody has some good info on these guys or has some guys that we should keep an eye on in the upcoming months, post them here.

DeMario Pressley, DT, NC State Height: 6-3 | Weight: 295 | 40-Time: 5.00
Strengths:
Excellent athleticism...Very good speed and quickness...Great range...Does a nice job in pursuit and has a burst to close...Does a good job of shedding blocks...Can penetrate and wreak havoc in the backfield...Versatile...He will get a decent push up the middle...Explosive off the ball with a great first step...Still has some upside.
Brian Witherspoon Cornerback | Senior | Stillman
Height: 5-10 | Weight: 180 | 40-Time: 4.25
No scouting report, but who isn't intrigued by that 40 time? He's been clocked as low as 4.19. He's a former D2 track star who put up some good numbers at CB this year.

Lavelle Hawkins Wide Receiver | Senior | California
Height: 5-11 | Weight: 185 | 40-Time: 4.50
Strengths:
A great athlete...Good body control and ball skills...Tough and will work the middle of the field...Plays faster than he times and can separate...Explosive...Is quick and agile...Elusive and runs well after the catch...Can also contribute as a return man.
Scouting report doesn't do justice to what I saw in him. He's a very talented player.

Heath Benedict Offensive Tackle | Senior | Newberry
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 320 | 40-Time: 5.15
Strengths:
Has excellent size and a large frame...A fantastic athlete with great quickness and agility...Is strong, powerful and gets a nice push...Light on his feet and slides well laterally..Mobile with terrific range..Versatile and could play a number of positions.
Redshirted at Tennessee, but transferred due to academic reasons. Payton loves those small school guys.
Davone Bess Wide Receiver | Junior | Hawaii
Height: 5-10 | Weight: 190 | 40-Time: 4.60
No scouting report yet, but he was a beast at Hawaii. Quick and agile with soft hands. One of Colt Brennan's favourite targets. I like Ryan Grice-Mullen from there as well.
Darnell Terrell Cornerback | Senior | Missouri
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 205 | 40-Time: 4.45
No scouting report yet, but Mizzou really caught the nation's attention this year. Terrell is that group's top DB: A sound tackler and is good against the pass.
Bo Ruud Outside Linebacker | Senior | Nebraska
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 235 | 40-Time: 4.75
No scouting report yet, but he's Barrett's brother. Only saw 1 Nebraska game this year, but you gotta like those bloodlines.
Keilen Dykes Defensive Tackle | Senior | West Virginia
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 295 | 40-Time: 5.00
No scouting report yet, but saw a lot of WVU this season (they're always on TV). He always stood out on that defence.
Jason Shirley Defensive Tackle | Senior | Fresno St.
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 330 | 40-Time: 5.10
No scouting report yet, but he's a behemoth of a human being. I remember hearing his name quite a bit last year. I think his stock slipped this year after an injury; he only played 3 games.
Also of note: There are a LOT of big WRs out there this year in the lower portion of the talent pool. No doubt the scouts will be looking for the next Marques Colston.
