    9. Alec Ogletree, MLB, Georgia. Tremendously talented athlete at 6-3 and 232, and should be an every-down NFL inside 'backer or middle 'backer. Has the skill and ability to contribute immediately all defenses as well as special teams. Jumps off the tape and could have the most upside of any underclassman in the draft. But some off-the-field issues will need to be studied before giving him a final grade.

    10. Gavin Escobar, TE, San Diego State. Three-year starter who was hampered this season by a knee injury that he played through. Good height-weight-speed prospect at 6-6 and 255 who right now is more receiver than blocker. I'm high on his ability to produce as an offensive tight end right now in the more wide-open NFL offenses. He's what we call an "F-type'' tight end, a receiver who can play off the line probably more productively than as a blocker right now.

    Not interested in another TE who can't block.

    The rest of his list is pretty bang on.

    Especially Keenan maybe being the best of a not great group of receivers.

    I wish I could say that I really trust Scott Pioli's evaluations but I really don't.

    Barry, Escobar is more than the sum of Egnew's parts. He can block. He needs work, but he can block.

    Well away from here
    There have been pimples with tougher skin than Egnew has for Pete's sake.

    .... and if you don't put him on the 53 man, his relatives will feed you to their hippos.
