Looking deeper into some of them:
Al'zillion Hamilton (Fresno State). A good ballhawk. Average sized (5'11", 185 lbs.). Four interceptions to four passes defensed. Had two each in his previous two years, including twelve passes defensed in his junior year. Wasn't targeted a lot his senior year, probably because he was that top corner.
Nyzier Fourqurean (Wisconsin). Really stepped up his senior year. Played in D2, asked for an extra year of eligibility and was denied. Big (6'1", 188 lbs.) corner. Poor forty (4.62), elite twenty-yard shuffle (would've been first in the Combine). Good tackler.
Jaxson Moi (Tennessee). Stanford transfer. Struggled with injuries, and didn't play much at Tennessee, but was a force when he played. 6'2", 301 lbs. Didn't really impress in his Pro Day (either average or well-below), so I'm assuming they saw something on the field.
Austin Blaske (North Carolina). Graduate transfer from Georgia. Extremely versatile, can play any position on the line. Probably will be a center at the next level. Big for a center (6'5", 310 lbs.). Former four star. Solid anchor with good feet.
Chad Lindberg (North Carolina). Graduate transfer from Rice. Very versatile player; has played tackle and guard, and has been listed as a center as well. Pretty big (6'6", 315 lbs.). Didn't participate in the Pro Day's 40 or bench press because of injury. Another former four-star player on North Carolina's line.
Darryl Peterson (Wisconsin). Edge rusher/linebacker tweener (6'1", 260 lbs.). Recorded 6.5 sacks, 11.5 tackles for a loss, and a forced fumble this year. Had a down year in his junior year, but sophomore year promised better with 4.5 sacks. Met with the Rams at his Pro Day. Not the best Pro Day, but had 22 reps on the bench and a 110 inch broad jump. Can play inside, outside, even occasional 3-tech, versatile.
Jalen Logan-Redding (Minnesota). Tweener DT/DE. Not a good 40. More of a run-stuffer than anything. Born in Columbia, Missouri, so I'm a little surprised he's never played for Mizzou; stayed at Minnesota his entire career. His stats show little, but perhaps his tape might surprise?
Eddie Walls III (Houston). Double transfer from Bethune-Cookman and Florida International to Houston. Lots of sacks, pressures, and tackles for a loss in his senior year. Decent size (6'4", 250 lbs.). Didn't run the forty at his Pro Day, but his shuttle and cone were decent enough, and he had twenty-two bench reps.
Dean Connors (Houston). Another Rice graduate transfer. Was outstanding for poor Rice teams and did a lot better at Houston in his graduate year. Excellent Pro Day (4.44 forty, 39.5 inch vertical, 10'02 broad jump, twenty-one bench reps, three cone of 6.95, short shuttle of 4.29). Excellent receiver and runner. Pretty decent size (5'11", 210 lbs.). I think he has an excellent chance to stick, especially if he can return kicks well (he has returned kicks at Rice. Hope he can return punts, but he has no experience in that regard).
Payton Zdroik (Air Force). Not the biggest lineman (5'11" 270 lbs.), but had fourteen career sacks and a fair amount of tackles for a loss (twenty-nine). Relentless; will get right after the ball and doesn't quit. Highly rated D-lineman by PFF (two consecutive 90 grades). Blew up his Pro Day: 4.79 forty yard dash, thirty-one bench reps, 4.50 twenty yard shuttle, 33 inch vertical. Definitely interesting.
Wesley Bailey (Louisville). Older Canadian edge rusher. Former Rutgers transfer. Really can get after the QB (fifteen-and-a-half total sacks, twenty-two tackles for a loss). 4.69 forty, twenty-seven bench reps, thirty-five inch vertical and 10'1" broad jump at his Pro Day. Utterly relentless and lengthy. Heard comparisons to Ashton Gillotte, whom we loved last year.
Rohan Jones (Arkansas). Smaller Canadian tight end (6'3", 236 lbs.). Transfer from Maine and Montana State. Only nineteen receptions, but had 519 yards and four touchdowns for a 27.3 yards per catch. Had nine touchdowns and 470 yards on thirty receptions at his lone year at Montana State, but really blew up for Arkansas. Had a pretty damned good bench press (twenty-five reps) and a three-cone of 7.22. Forty was below average (4.72), but I trust the tape; he gets open a lot.
Nikhai Hill-Green (Alabama). Former Michigan, Charlotte, and Colorado transfer who found a home at Alabama. Outstanding Pro Day (4.60 forty, twenty-three bench reps at 6'2", 235 lbs. Has a large wingspan (78 inches!). Productive for Alabama: sixty tackles, five for a loss, and a forced fumble. Had to earn his time and managed to do so. Pretty good coverage linebacker as well.
Not going to do the quarterback, Campbell. Long-time journeyman (four different colleges where he didn't really start) because he's your #4 QB and already discussed Norwood (whom I like, but not as an NFL corner at this point in time, much like all of the eligible corners Mizzou had).
