Name	Pos	Yr	#	Rnd	Comments
Dallas Baker	WR	5Sr	81	5/6	Solid possession wide out and a terrific red-zone target.  The faster he runs prior to the draft the higher he will be selected.

Tate Casey	TE	3Jr	84	5/6	Solid prospect on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Brian Crum	OLB	5Sr	13	FA	Undersized prospect who needs a lot of work.
Earl Everett	OLB	4Sr	30	3rd	Nifty, athletic linebacker who makes plays in every direction of the field.  Terrific weak-side prospect.

Jarvis Moss	DE	4Jr	94	1/2	Explosive pass rusher likely on his way to the NFL.
Reggie Nelson	S	3R	1	1/2	Versatile defensive back who can play corner or safety.  Tough against the run and effective in coverage.  Expected to declare for the draft.
Steve Rissler	G	4Sr	79	FA	Nice sized blocker with potential as a utility lineman.
Brandon Siler	ILB	3So	40	3/4	Explosive run defender best in the box.  Will seek advice from the NFL Advisory Committee on his draft grade.

Kirk Barton	T	74	3Jr	3/4	Made the correct move staying in college.  Big, strong right tackle prospect who does not move well.
Doug Datish	C	50	5Sr	5/6	Played well after moving to center this season.  Efficient position blocker.
T.J. Downing	G	72	5Sr	FA	Effort blocker with minimal upside.
Ted Ginn Jr.	WR	7	3Jr	1st	Game changing receiver/return specialist with home-run hitting speed.  Top twelve pick.

David Patterson	DT	97	4Sr	5/6	Undersized lineman who could play in a two gap system.

Antonio Pittman	RB	25	3Jr	3rd	Smallish, elusive ball carrier best as a situational runner at the next level.
Jay Richardson	DE	99	5Sr	3/4	Undersized and underrated collegiate pass rusher with growth potential. Coming off a terrific campaign, his first as a starter.
Troy Smith	QB	10	5Sr	2nd	Productive passer coming off a great campaign.  Accurate but lacks the great pass placement, pocket passer height and big arm.
Justin Zwick	QB	12	5Sr	FA
