  RONDALE MOOREWR, PURDUE BOILERMAKERS

  Purdue redshirt sophomore WR Rondale Moore declared for the NFL DraftMoore (5'0/180) is a somewhat interesting case, as essentially the bulk of his evaluation is going to come from his 2018 season, when he was a true freshman. During that superlative showing, the versatile Moore posted a 114-1258-12 receiving line while chipping in with an additional 213 rushing yards. He was on his way to similar shiny stats last fall, before a hamstring injury sustained early in the fall limited him to just four games played. This year the redshirt sophomore sensation only played in three games due to a lower body injury sustained in fall camp, recording an absurd 35 catches for 270 yards and a rushing touchdown. He has top-20 upside for next spring's draft.

  ZAC LEFEBVRETE, BUFFALO BULLS

  Buffalo redshirt senior TE Zac Lefebvre declared for the NFL Draft.Lefebvre (6'6/235) only played in four games this season, recording 13 catches for 169 yards, 13.0 YPC and a touchdown. The Bulls were a run-heavy outfit offensively, but when the did air it out, Lefebvre and WR Antonio Nunn were the go-to options. He wasn't as efficient as you'd like to see from a pro TE prospect, catching 54 percent of his targets while failing to secure three of his 15 catchable targets for a troubling 20 percent drop rate. Though he possesses the height necessary to play in the league, he's going to need to add weight and work on his hands. Lefebvre will try to catch on as a late Day 3 flier, but is likely destined to be a UDFA camp invitee.

  CARY ANGELINETE, NORTH CAROLINA STATE WOLFPACK

  NC State redshirt senior TE Cary Angeline declared for the NFL Draft. Angeline (6'7/250) intends to play in the team's January 2 Gator Bowl contest against Kentucky, then focus on training for the NFL Draft. The towering tight end originally enrolled at USC as a three-star recruit before transferring over to NC State in early 2018. He performed very well this season, catching 27 passes for 412 yards and six touchdowns as an integral part of the Wolfpack's offensive attack. The redshirt senior was a very efficient option in goal line situations thanks to his length, while displaying an ability to read defenses and find soft spots in zone coverages that he utilized to break big gains. Angeline projects as a late Day 3 prospect who would be a priority UDFA if he isn't selected in the NFL Draft.

I knew Rondale was short, but 5'0 doesnt seem attractive for an NFL receiver :-)

DAX MILNEWR, BRIGHAM YOUNG COUGARS

BYU junior WR Dax Milne declared for the NFL Draft.Milne (6'1/190) had a relatively understated 2019, catching 21 passes for 285 yards and two touchdowns. However this year Zach Wilson's roommate exploded on the scene, recording seven games with 99 yards or more in 12 contests. He ends the year with 70 receptions on 91 targets for a sterling 77 percent catch rate while only dropping two catchable pass opportunities. His 1,188 receiving yards ranks fourth in the country as Milne displayed impressive body control and had a knack for reeling in deep balls thanks to advanced route running and technique. His NFL Draft slot will ultimately depend on how he performs at the NFL Scouting Combine. Milne currently projects as a mid-round selection.

Or Teddy

Or Harrison Smith. Or Dalvin. Or Everson...Spielman just likes to have ammo to maneuver in the draft. He's already got that this year with several tradable picks in rounds 3-5, so I don't see him trading down much in '21. 

That said, if there's a target he knows is not on too many radars and he knows he can get him late on day two (think Alexander Mattison), you can bet he'll trade down through a value glut and gather even more picks that can be turned into another lotto haul season.

TCU FS, SC WR; two others enter draft … A couple of more underclassmen announced earlier today that they would be entering the upcoming draft including rising TCU FS Trevon Moehrig and Southern Cal WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.

January 2, 2021 - 2:42 pmRising UGA OLB Ojulari, two others enter draft … Fresh off a dominating performance in Georgia’s dramatic Peach Bowl win over previous;y unbeaten Cincinnati in which he had 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles, Bulldawgs’ redshirt sophomore OLB Azeez Ojulari has announced that he will be foregoing his remaining college eligibility and entering the 2021 draft where he projects as a potential mid-to-late first-round prospect. The 6-3, 240-pound Olujari, who led the Bulldawgs in sacks and tackles for loss this year, is currently the 21st overall prospect on the GBN Big Board.

The entry of these three brings the total number of underclassmen who have declared for the upcoming draft to over 90 with a bunch of top prospects still to be heard from.
