DE Brian Orakpo
A pass-rusher who should provide immediate help on third downs. First-round pick could play strongside linebacker in the future. But he will start off as a left end. He needs to prove he can stop the run.
CB Kevin Barnes
Tall corner with excellent speed, he should challenge for the No. 4 spot. Third-round pick’s durability is a concern, partly because of his wiry frame. Played some safety in college. Evaluators question his technique.

LB Cody Glenn
Suspended from team for selling tickets; had civil suit filed against him for allegedly not paying rent. Converted from RB before senior season. A good special teamer. Durability is an issue for fifth-round pick.
LB Robert Henson
Was not projected to be drafted, but the Texas Christian standout was considered to be a tackling machine as a senior. Played in the middle, but sixth-round pick will only have a role here on special teams.
FB Eddie Williams
Tore ACL late in senior year or could have gone a few rounds higher. Seventh-round pick showed versatility in college by lining up in many spots. Has good hands. Was good special teamer in college.
WR Marko Mitchell
Has the size (6-foot-3, 218 pounds) and speed (4.49 in the 40) that teams covet. Seventh-round selection had a big game vs. Maryland in the Humanitarian Bowl, but has many knocks, including inconsistent hands and football smarts.
