In the annual cacophony of private workouts and official visits by the Patriots, a prospect will sometimes catch your eye and make you think twice about things.
Ezekiel Ansah is just that sort of prospect.
According to a source close to the situation, the Patriots will be working Ansah out this Saturday. Read on to see what I think of the player and the potential draft pick.

Day two was my first opportunity to see the South team on the field practicing. With no QB separating himself from the pack it was a chance for the South QBs to steal the show and possibly improve their draft standing. The competition was good throughout the day, as the players settled in and got acquainted to their surroundings.
Who were the players who stood out? What was the highlight of the day? Which players struggled in this environment? All that and more in my 15 thoughts.

Here are how the players from BYU and San Diego State performed. Spoiler alter: Kyle Van Noy was quite impressive.

2013 NFL Mock Draft: Updated December 18, 2012
1. Kansas City Chiefs
Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia (SCOUTING REPORT)
Matt Cassel isn’t cutting it. Brady Quinn isn’t the guy. Draft yourself the most talented quarterback in this class, be patient, and build around him. To me, that guy is Geno Smith.
There are options at quarterback if the Chiefs trade down or move back into the first round (Matt Barkley, Ryan Nassib, Mike Glennon, Zac Dysert), but I feel strongly about how good Smith can be.
