DE?/DT Deandre Coleman, California -- If all you had was Coleman's 2013 tape to go on, you would wonder why anybody really cared that much to draft him. The truth of the matter, however, is that Coleman exploded on the scene with a great 2012 season that displayed the power that can truly surface in a guy his size (6'5", 315 lbs). But 2013 swallowed him up for whatever reason -- I think that clearly means he has motor issues, because he turned it on for Senior Bowl week, getting consistent push inside and shutting down any runs towards him. It'll be interesting to see how he pans out at the Combine, he's rumored to run a 5.0 40, which would all but seal his fate to play DT (rather than DE in the 3-4). If he can put together a good 40, look good in drills, and weigh in with long arms, he could find himself a way in the midrounds. As it stands, some team will probably just take a shot on him in the 6th or 7th, and hope they can rekindle that 2012 fire.
