Chad Diehl FB CLEMSOM, even before the other thread started up on him. A team is going to get a powerful lead blocker there. Obviously his value isnt as high because of position but he'll be in front of a successful running game at the next level.
I also like AJ Jenkins WR ILLINOIS. Deep WR class but Jenkins has the size and speed. Had a very nice combine so I have to think hes worked himself into the late second round after the top tier of WR go. He would thrive in the slot because of his lack of physicality restricts him from lining up outside.
DeAngelo Tyson, 3-4 DE from Georgia. Was a top 100 prospect out of hs and was an integral player on the Bulldogs line that boasted a very impressive run d. Already acclimated to an nfl style 3-4 defense, he can easily make a team this year that needs depth, currently has a 6th-7th round grade which would be easy for him to out perform. Would love for my Jets to use one of their compensatory picks on him since they dont have much d-line depth with only Wilkerson, Devito, and Teveasu at DE. Especially if Devito gets injured again.
Demario Davis-OLB Arkansas State, Mike Harris-CB Florida State, Da'John Harris-DT USC, Keith Tandy-CB West Virginia, Tom Compton-T South Dakota State, Jairus Wright-WR Arkansas, Tim Fugger-DE/OLB Vanderbilt
Wolfe and Reyes have a good chance to be an overrated 1st round prospect in April.
I am very curious about Tim Fugger. He could be reminded us of Justin Tuck but I hope he is a full time OLB for Jets. Neck Surgery? Need to check that out.
Several of the later round guys I like on offense:
Terrance Gannaway RB Baylor
Jewel Hampton RB Southern Illinois
Derrick Coleman RB UCLA
Michael Smith RB Utah State
Alvester Alexander RB Wyoming
Greg Childs WR Arkansas
Lance Lewis WR East Carolina
Toney Clemons WR Colorado
Junior Hemingway WR Michigan
Jerrell Jackson WR Missouri
Rishard Mathews WR Nevada
Dale Moss WR South Dakota
Nelson Rosario WR UCLA
Kashif Moore WR Connecticutt
Taveon Rogers WR New Mexico
Danny Coale WR Virginia Tech
Adrian Robinson TE Cincinnati
Taylor Thompson TE SMU
Derek Carrier TE Beloit
John Chichester TE Louisville
Lamont Bryant TE Morgan State
Drake Dunsmore TE NU
Dont know if anyone has mentioned him already but Donte Moss, 4-3 DE or 3-4 OLB out of North Carolina has had his stock plummet since the start of the 2011 season and can be a high risk high reward draft pick in the 5th or later. Had obvious productivity issues prior to getting injured and likely wouldnt be able to play for a good portion of 2012 but could turn out to be a top-notch pass rusher, I think the potential is worth the risk

I love Greg Childs and Toney Clemons. Clemons more because I have a Western PA bias.
Greg Childs has top 10 WR potential (current NFL). His injury bug really set him back this season. If you get the guy that was playing in 2010, he's a steal. He's basically a rich man's Bowe.

Travis Benjamin. Has speed to burn and can return punts. Will be better than Hilton IMO.
I watched some film of him and I just didn't see it. He does have a burst and some obvious speed, but not elite speed like Hilton. On long touchdown runs you could see the db's making a run for him. He doesn't get caught from behind, but he doesn't leave them in the dust, either. Hilton is the fastest guy to come along in some time.
In fairness to Benjamin, though, his QB did nothing to help him. I didn't see any long passes where he was led properly and was able to just catch and run in stride. Most of his deep receptions he was waiting for the ball to get there, which allowed defenders to make up ground, so the separation is there.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Jordan White of WMU and Keshawn Martin of MSU. Both guys are flying extremely low under the radar. Jordan White especially, that dude was a man amongst boys all year long. He smoked Purdue in the Outback bowl and had like 10 games with 10+ catches last year. Downside is he's a 6th year Senior, so he'll be 24 by the time the season starts. He's also a little smallish, but he's really well built. I think 5'11" 208lbs. is what SW has him listed as.
What do you guys think of Stephen Peyton from Brown? he is 6'2 226 and ran a 4.6, he looks good in coverage and very good against the run, he has been playing free safety and projects to be one in the NFL, usually at the lower levels they put someone with his size at linebacker. His size/speed/strength is similar to Iloka
never seen or heard of him before today until that video popped as a suggestion page when signing into youtube.
