2013 NPL Draft

 

 

Round v Team Position First Last School Scout Score Comments
1-01 Pittsburgh DT Ken Scott Arkansas 4.93 Mel says: Not just a great defensive tackle prospect, Scott is also the frontrunner for president and has been nominated for sainthood while still living. What are you waiting for? Take him first overall, already!
1-02 Mars WR Rob King Miami 4.53 Mel says: Middle first round talent who could go much earlier.
1-03 Bangor CB Robert Blackshear Arizona 4.38 Mel says: Blackshear could sneak into the first round if a corner-needy team likes him, and he should go no later than the early second.
1-04 Prague WR Brad Conaty Hawaii 4.63 Mel says: It would be surprising if Conaty fell out of the top five. If you want him, you might have to move up as high as first or second.
1-05 California DT Rashidi Bingham Kansas State 4.53 Mel says: A true tackle who has the look of a starter in NPL. Bingham fits as an early to middle second round prospect.
1-06 Charlotte HB Dale Houzah Hawaii 4.63 Mel says: On scouting evaluations alone Houzah is a top five pick, maybe a top two pick.
1-07 Indianapolis CB Michael Otero Stanford 4.68 Mel says: If you're wondering who could go second overall, you certainly have to throw Otero's hat into the ring. It would be a surprise if he fell out of the top five.
1-08 Camelot Safe J Fields Notre Dame 4.60 Mel says: Middle first rounder who could fall to the early second if fears about his speed bear out.
1-09 Mars DT Nate Kinney Arizona State 4.68 Mel says: Kinney has gaudy scout numbers and looks like a top 5 selection based on that alone. I don't think he's going to bear out that ranking. He still should be a lock for the first round, but I see him going more toward the middle of the round.
1-10 Hong Kong LB Bobby Jolley Oklahoma 4.58 Mel says: A clear top-10 player in this draft, could even be a top 5 player if you think the scouts were unnecessarily harsh on LB hand ratings.
1-11 Bangor LB Terry Hillier SDSU 4.43 Mel says: An absolutely outstanding 'backer, who should join Jolley in getting picked during the first half of the first round. Could even sneak past Jolley if a team less concerned about power in their LB corps targets him.
1-12 Bangor OffG Aaron Hatfield Michigan State 4.30 Mel says: Second round prospect who should be off the board early in the round.
1-13 California QB Jason Swofford Vatech 4.45 Mel says: After sitting behind Raymond Hodge for three years, Swofford made good on his chance as a starter and wound up as the top-rated QB prospect this season. A solid mid-first rounder.
1-14 Loch Ness WR Dexter Mcdonald Boston College 4.33 Mel says: Middle second round player who could move up to early in the second if his endurance is better than the scouts report.
1-15 Oakland HB Eric Johnson Washington 4.43 Mel says: Low first to high second round pick. Given the value typically placed on halfbacks, middle first isn't out of the question.
1-16 Hong Kong Dend Larry Adams Syracuse 4.58 Mel says: Adams looks like a solid three-down end. He may not be the next superstar end, but he has the look of a long-term starter. Nab him in the middle or late first.
1-17 Taiwan QB Matt Webb Hawaii 4.40 Mel says: Webb is a sure second round pick who could make his way into the first if Swofford is taken and a team has a need at QB.
1-18 Reno Safe Chris Watts Ohio State 4.53 Mel says: In some ways Watts looks even better than Fields, but like Fields he has some questions to answer. Solid second round player who could find his way into the first round if he gives the right answers.
2-19 Pittsburgh HB Charles Jones Nebraska 4.03 Mel says: Dark horse pick.
2-20 New Jersey Safe Vincent Williams Arkansas 3.93  
2-21 Charlotte CB Mike Austin Arkansas 4.43 Mel says: Middle to late first round.
2-22 Prague OffG David Dicken Hawaii 4.55 Mel says: Dicken rates as one of the draft's elite players. It would be surprising if a guard went in the 3-5 range of the first round, but there's no way he should slip past the middle of the first.
2-23 California CB Pj Flowers Washington State 4.33  
2-24 Charlotte DT Alonzo Hunt Hawaii 4.23 Mel says: Hunt scored a high ratio of sacks to tackles, and there are NPL teams that could use that kind of production. Middle to late second round prospect.
2-25 Indianapolis OffC Rob Quarles USC 4.23 Mel says: Early second round is often where the run starts on offensive linemen, and Quarles fits right into that scenario.
2-26 Camelot Safe Darrin Swindall Oklahoma 4.25 Mel says: Middle third rounder.
2-27 Reno LB Malik Tabari Oregon 4.13 Mel says: Strict number crunching says Tabari goes in the middle or late second, but I think he has a strong possibility of going as early as the late first.
2-28 Mars Tend Mike Wilkerson Tennessee 4.40 Mel says: Wilkerson projects to the middle of the first but could fall to the second due to the diminished value many teams assign to tight ends.
2-29 Oakland OffT Bruce Oliver South Carolina 4.40 Mel says: Criticisms are mostly nitpicking. Oliver looks like a future starter. Late first round or early second round.
2-30 Loch Ness Dend Brandon Howard Washington State 4.10 Mel says: Howard looks like a top spot player. Just don't put him on the field every down. He's a guy who could be worth a shot in the second if you think you can train up that endurance. Otherwise, he's probably an early third rounder because of his shortcomings.
2-31 Area 51 HB Tyler Kraft Arizona 4.35 Mel says: Same as Eric Johnson. Middle first to high second round.
2-32 Loch Ness OffT David Boyer Penn State 4.33 Mel says: Take him in the middle of the second.
2-33 Oakland Safe Antoine Stewart Florida 4.23 Mel says: Middle to late second round pick.
2-34 Hong kong HB Brandan Ingram South Carolina 4.33 Mel says: Not quite up to the standards of Houzah or even Johnson and Kraft, Ingram still appears to have a chance to be a productive runner. Draft inflation could place him in the low first or high second, but he'd probably represent better value in the middle second.
2-35 Taiwan WR Rob Woods Washington 4.05 Mel says: Get him in the middle of the third.
2-36 Reno Dend Adam Konte BYU 4.03 Mel says: Konte looks more like a pass rusher than a run stuffer, but his explosiveness is borne out by his stats. Konte looks like a guy who can have an impact. Late first is possible for a team targeting DE, but more likely a second or early third round player.
3-37 Pittsburgh FB Craig Gaskins South Carolina 4.05 Mel says: If you're in the market for a fb, Gaskins is the cream of this year's crop. Don't take him before the third unless an invite has given you a compelling reason to do so.
3-38 New Jersey Safe Anthony Washington Stanford 3.83  
3-39 Carolina Dend Kendras Gleason Ohio State 3.88 Mel says: Could be a productive spot-starter who does everything you need an end to do. An early or middle third round pick ought to get him.
3-40 Prague HB Peppi Winchester Oklahoma 4.25 Mel says: Mid to late second round pick.
3-41 California LB Talmadge Gadsden Arizona 3.93 Mel says: Early fourth round pick.
3-42 Charlotte Safe Mike Dercher SDSU 3.93 Mel says: Dark horse pick.
3-43 Indianapolis OffC Terry Hunter Michigan State 4.23 Mel says: Middle or more likely late second round pick. Shouldn't fall past the top of the third.
3-44 Camelot DT Donald Wilson Arizona 4.23 Mel says: A plugger who may be as suited to end as to tackle. Late second round.
3-45 Taiwan LB Jerome Burke Washington 3.65  
3-46 Mars CB Corey Palmer Tennessee 3.43  
3-47 Carolina CB Walter Downing North Carolina 4.00 Mel says: Dark horse pick.
3-48 Carolina WR Corey Jukovich BYU 3.73  
3-49 Area 51 WR Ron McDonald BYU 4.05  
3-50 Carolina Dend Terrence Jackson Florida State 3.90 Mel says: Dark horse pick.
3-51 Carolina CB Jeff Hamilton Boston College 4.10 Mel says: Early third round prospect unless concerns about his conditioning drop him lower.
3-52 Hong Kong Safe Stacy Suguturaga Colorado 4.13 Mel says: Yet another slowish but smart safety. Do you really need him before the fourth round?
3-53 Taiwan OffG Efrem Smith Washington 3.98 Mel says: Dark horse pick.
3-54 Carolina HB Tim Stallworth Vatech 4.08  
4-55 Pittsburgh OffG Ryan Clerk Coloarado 4.15 Mel says: Mid to late third round pick.
4-56 Carolina OffG Curtis Bates Hawaii 4.15 Mel says: Early to mid third round.
4-57 Canada DT Roger Ismail Oregon 4.15 Mel says: Dark horse pick.
4-58 Prague WR Mark Fritsch Kansas State 4.20 Mel says: Every team can find a use for one slower wideout like Fritsch. You just don't want to stockpile them. Mid to late second round.
4-59 California WR Anthony Jackson Notre Dame 4.15  
4-60 Charlotte OffG Brandon Litton Penn State 4.00 Mel says: Mid to late third round pick.
4-61 Indianapolis Tend Brett Allen Stanford 4.08 Mel says: Late second to early third round.
4-62 Camelot OffT Kris Burns Oregon 4.10 Mel says: Middle to late second round prospect.
4-63 Charlotte Dend Carlos Overstreet Texas 3.85  
4-64 Mars FB Raj Hamiter Boston college 3.98 Mel says: Another third round prospect. There may be an argument for Hamiter being superior to Craig Gaskins. It's a close call.
4-65 Carolina WR Clay Corneliusen Colorado 3.88  
4-66 Bangor Tend Will Plotts North Carolina 3.75 Mel says: Take him in the middle of the fourth round.
4-67 Area 51 HB Ron Evans SDSU 3.98  
4-68 Loch Ness WR Jimmy Martin Oregon 3.65  
4-69 Oakland LB Jon Roan South Carolina 3.80 Mel says: Dark horse pick.
4-70 Hong Kong OffT Chris Reagor Syracuse 4.00 Mel says: Early to middle third round pick.
4-71 Taiwan OffT Brian Altman Brina Altman 3.78  
4-72 Carolina HB Mike Causey Arizona 4.03  
5-73 Pittsburgh OffT Dan Garrard SDSU 3.95 Mel says: Hold off on him until the fourth.
5-74 Carolina LB Jose Houllis Colorado 3.73 Mel says: Middle fourth round is soon enough.
5-75 Canada OffC Mick Ennis Florida 3.95 Mel says: Don't take him any sooner than the late third round.
5-76 Prague LB Joey Fulton Washington 3.68  
5-77 California CB Bronson Berlin Notre Dame 3.90  
5-78 Charlotte OffG Ronald Harris Oklahoma 3.90  
5-79 Indianapolis CB Cedric Jeffers SDSU 3.85 Mel says: Take him in the middle of the third.
5-80 Camelot WR Dewayne Echols Colorado 4.13  
5-81 Mars FB Jeff Tyler Penn State 3.43 Mel says: Decent physical ability undercut by subpar hands and mentals. He might be an excellent late round value. Don't take him any sooner than the fifth round.
5-82 Mars QB Robert Lavigne Stanford 4.15 Mel says: Late second or early third round pick, but you had better hope his numbers are a product of the system rather than an indication of the limits of his talent.
5-83 Carolina CB Greg Diaz Penn State 3.83  
5-84 Bangor Kick Greg Meadows Oregon 4.35  
5-85 Area 51 WR Terrence Slowikowski Florida State 4.08  
5-86 Loch Ness Safe Bo Street Boston College 3.40  
5-87 Oakland QB Andrew Risher BYU 4.15 Mel says: Risher is only a half step behind Robert Lavigne. Take him in the third.
5-88 Hong Kong WR Jason Miller Vatech 4.03

5-90 Carolina WR Daniel Burnette Group AA 3.83
