The NFL Draft is just days away, but we have known this year's players for almost four months. How well do we really know them? Let's find out with scouting reports on the drafts’ top prospects
Player: C.J. Mosley
Summary: Mosley has been the centerpiece for one of colleges' best defenses for five years now and it is his time to move on to the NFL. Much like running back, middle linebacker is a position that has gotten no love in the NFL draft this season so Mosley’s value slides. His previous injury history will scare some teams away, but as a player he has the highest floor of any player. Even if he isn't a top 25 player at his position in a few years he will still contribute.
Pros:
- Great pass defense
- Smart
- Versatile
- Ready to play now
- Great tackler
- Playmaker
Cons:
- Speed
- Size
- Injury prone
- Injuries have already banged him up
Pro Comparison: NaVorro Bowman
Both versatile and having a knack for being around the ball and making plays, Bowman and Mosley are very similar players. Mosley has almost no chance of being a third round pick like Bowman was, but he will still be solid value for the team that takes a chance.
Perfect Fits: Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers, Washington Redskins, Denver Broncos
Mosley would fit better into a team with some established veterans where he can squeeze into the fold before becoming a defensive leader himself. Mosley will be a day one starter for a linebacker needy team and will have a chance to prove his worth for a position that is extremely underrated in 2014.
