1) Landon Collins*, S, Alabama
Height: 6-0. Weight: 222.
Projected 40 Time: 4.61.
Projected Round (2015): 1-2.
2/7/15: Collins had 103 tackles with seven passes broken up and three interceptions in 2014. Sources say that for the NFL, he is a strong safety type who will do well playing in the tackle box. Collins is not a deep free safety who can cover receivers or tight ends in man coverage. That could hurt him on draft day.

2) Gerod Holliman**, S, Louisville
Height: 6-2. Weight: 213.
Projected 40 Time: 4.63.
Projected Round (2015): 2-3.
2/7/15: Holliman enjoyed a massive 2014 season for the Cardinals. Replacing Calin Pryor, Holliman was one of the breakout players in college football. He led the nation with 14 interceptions. The redshirt sophomore also had 40 tackles with three passes broken up. Holliman had an excellent game against Florida State with two interceptions. He also had two picks against Virginia and Florida International. Holliman returned the one against Florida International for a touchdown. He has both size and instincts, but has to get better at tackling and providing more stable support in the ground game.

3) Jaquiski Tartt, S, Samford
Height: 6-1. Weight: 220.
Projected 40 Time: 4.57.
Projected Round (2015): 2-4.
2/7/15: Tartt created some draft buzz with an impressive skill set on display for Samford. He totaled 62 tackles with one pass broken up and one interception this season. Tartt was solid against Auburn.

4) Durell Eskridge*, S, Syracuse
Height: 6-3. Weight: 203.
Projected 40 Time: 4.61.
Projected Round (2015): 2-4.
2/7/15: Eskridge recorded 62 tackles with one interception and three passes broken up in 2014. He has some athleticism with size and quickness. Eskridge could be a free safety candidate for the NFL.

5) Damarious Randall, S, Arizona State
Height: 5-10. Weight: 194.
Projected 40 Time: 4.58.
Projected Round (2015): 2-4.
2/7/15: Randall had a strong senior season with 101 tackles with three interceptions, eight passes broken up, two forced fumbles, 9.5 tackles for a loss and a sack. He has had a big presence for the Sun Devils' defense and stayed around the ball. Randall could have some free safety potential for the NFL. He had a strong week at the Senior Bowl and showed some coverage skills as a free safety.

I see what i did there....

Thinking about the Parys Haralson resigning today I realized that he's the only real OLB we have. Galette is really just a situational DE... We've still never seen him take many snaps as a stand-up rusher. Edebali and Powell? Jury's still out. Whether it's the draft or free agency we really need to acquire more players that can fit the 3-4 scheme.

Danno

Or just decide that we have more talent suited for a 4-3.

But we need to decide on a basic scheme, and acquire players best suited for it and move on from players not suited for it.

ChrisXVI

Sadly I don't think Rob Ryan will ultimately work out and we'll go back to the 4-3 with Dennis Allen as DC. He's already on the same level as Rob when it comes to the chain of command.

Danno

Well the top 4 defenses in the NFL all run a 4-3. It wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if we went back to a 4-3. We suck at picking LB's anyway.

Well, take A J Johnson off your mock drafts...

No. 013 (R1, 13) OL Brandon Scherff, Iowa; 6' 5", 320 lbs.I was reading we need to see his arm measurements. if 32" or less word is guard all the way. which i understand but i think he is the acception to the rule. so come on 32 lol

No. 140 (R5, 12) CB Eric Rowe, Utah; 6’ 1”, 204 lbs.

he will end up moving back to safety i think.

jeanpierre

Respectfully disagree re: Rowe...

In clippings I've read, he really showed something as a CB and he may actually have a higher ceiling than many of the '15 prospects...

With Dennis Allen back in the fold, I think he's the right level of investment/development selection for us in this draft...

Rowe or the Miami kid is what I'm thinking...

Get that pass rush going, collapse that pocket - that's the key to better DB play...

i will go back and take another look
