This year I wrote the player rankings and evaluations for the USA Today 2012 NFL Draft magazine. It’s on newsstands now and available online here. Leading up to the draft, I’ll be reprinting some of my quick reports here.

Dominique Davis, East Carolina
Height: 6’3, Weight: 210 pounds

Strengths: Displays quick feet in his drop back. Good accuracy when he gets into a rhythm (broke Aaron Rodgers’ record for consecutive completions with 36 over two games). Solid athleticism and toughness to make a play with his feet. Boston College transfer (community college in 2009).

Weaknesses: Forces too many throws into bad spots on the field and gets intercepted a lot. Average arm strength. Really needs to wind up to get something on his passes.

This player should be a plug-and-play replacement for Mekhi Becton right off the bat.

This guy’s got talent, plus playing with Patrick Mahomes automatically elevates his potential.

He’s a bit of a liability in the run game, but his potential in the pass game was enough for Buffalo Rumblings.

It’s a high-potential pick for a Detroit defense that needs a solid pass rusher.
