Jesse Williams is falling like a rock. Rumored knee problems could be the main reason.

Now that the first round along with the second and third rounds are in the books for the 2013 NFL Draft, let’s take a look at the top remaining targets on defense.
Jesse Williams proved his status as a big man who can run at Alabama’s pro day.
The Alabama Crimson Tide and Oregon Ducks finished the 2012 college football season ranked as the top two teams in the nation. Both programs, which have a number of stars from their successful teams now in line to be selected in the 2013 NFL draft, held their pro days earlier this week.
Alabama’s pro day was held in Tuscaloosa, Ala. on Wednesday, while Oregon’s was in Eugene, Ore. on Thursday. Thanks to ESPN3’s coverage streamed online, I was able to watch portions of each pro day. While the coverage unfortunately did not show much of the positional drills from either workouts, there were players at both that stood out with their measurable performances.

The 2012 College Football season wraps up with the highly anticipated match-up between two historic programs, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Alabama Crimson Tide. In terms of draft talent there will be more NFL talent on the field tonight than during some Jaguars games (just kidding, kind of).
Both teams are loaded with prospects who will hear their names called early in the draft, whether it’s 2013 or years down the road. The Patriots will have their eyes on a number of players who they would like to bring to Foxboro next season. Here’s who they are.
Who could the Patriots land in the 2013 NFL Draft?

It’s just about that time of year. The college football regular season is winding down, the NFL Draft order is shaping up and prospects are deciding whether to stay in school or make the jump to the NFL. That means NFL Draft season is upon us. Fans and analysts are already looking ahead and taking a shot at projecting which prospect “their” team might wind up with in a draft that is 5 months away.
With that being said here is my first attempt to project who the New England Patriots could possibly end up with in next April’s draft.
