Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas - Houston went under the radar of more prominent prospects for most of the regular season. Houston's work on the field should bring him a lot of acclaim in draft circles however. When matched up against some of the top WRs in the country, Houston stood out when it mattered most. Houston held heavyweights such as Dwayne Jarrett, Robert Meachem, Dallas Baker, Dwayne Bowe, Courtney Taylor, and Earl Bennett, in check well below their season averages. In fact the only WR to get the best of Chris Houston this season was Sidney Rice. Houston has blazing speed and a phenomenal upper body for a CB, making his jams at the line very effective. I would not be surprised to see Houston turn in a 4.4 4o time and 25 reps in the bench. He is going to get himself noticed this weekend.
Michael Coe, CB, Alabama State - Coe will use this weekend to display his formidable physical talents in front of every pro team that did not get a chance to see him play until he made a statement as an injury replacement. Expect Coe to post a 40 in the 4.4s along with great change of direction abilities. He is raw from a technique standpoint but that should improve with quality coaching at the next level.
Joe Staley, LT, Central Michigan - Staley is a converted TE moved to LT his sophomore year of college. He has great feet and movement skills and should display those abilities this weekend, moving him into the bottom of the first round. Staley still needs to add strength, but it is clear that he was a state qualifying 200m sprinter in high school when the 300lb tackle runs down the field.
Lorenzo Booker, RB, Florida State - Booker will make himself some money this weekend as he reminds scouts what a phenomenal talent he is with his sure to be gaudy numbers in the 40 and the directional drills. Also on display will be his receiver-like hands and instant acceleration. His size will be a drawback, but it also makes him an asset on screens hiding behind those lineman.
