4. Kenrick Ellis, DT, Hampton, 6-5, 340, 5.07
Hugely talented (literally), Ellis plays more like a penetrating three-technique (15 tackles for loss in 2009) than the nose tackle many make him out to be, much like former East Carolina tackle and Giants 2010 second-round pick Linval Joseph. That versatility, combined with his freakish size-speed combination, might allow teams to overlook his dismissal from South Carolina.


1. Pat Devlin, QB, Delaware, 6-3, 225, 4.82
Devlin is the third-ranked senior signal-caller behind Washington's Jake Locker and Florida State's Christian Ponder entering the season. He lacks the rocket arm and 6-foot-6 frame that shot Flacco into the middle of the first round, but if few underclass quarterbacks come out, a team in need of a passer might give this ex-Nittany Lion a shot in the top 40.

Chad Reuter obviously has never seen Ellis play. He has the big body of a nose guard and lacks the motor, range, and quickness to play the three technique. He has to be a clogger because he doesn't move like a three technique. I also don't think Ellis gets drafted higher than the 6th or 7th round when all is said and done. There are off field issues from his past and he lacks the motor of a Batten, Moats, etc. to really rise up the board. Just like 90 percent of the draft websites out there he probably hasn't seen any of the FCS guys. Well scratch that when Devlin was at Penn State everyone saw that drive against Ohio State. :)
