The NFL Draft Mailbag is back again for another week, and there are more great questions.  If you have NFL Draft questions you would like to have answered or you just want to have an opinion on a player or position, be sure to send your questions in for next week’s mailbag.

@SmthingAboutFtB: Who are some junior college transfers to monitor this year?

I think the biggest name of the junior college transfers is new Auburn running back Cameron Artis-Payne. He was a four-star recruit out of Allan Hancock College and has quickly established himself as one of the top backs for the Tigers. In his debut against Washington State, he carried the ball 10 times for 52 yards including a 19-yard run. While he won’t lead the team in carries, the junior running back has nice speed for his size at 5’11” but what stands out about him is his willingness to find contact. He isn’t afraid to run right over a defender for the extra yards, when other backs his size would try and go outside. We should see more action out of him this week against Arkansas State and he will be a player to watch this season. If Tre Mason were to get hurt, Artis-Payne could take over and really drive his stock up.

You just have to look at the guy handing the ball off to Artis-Payne to find your next junior college player to watch. Auburn brought in Garden City College quarterback Nick Marshall who became the immediate starter for the Tigers to open the season. Marshall is a very good runner who showed his arm strength against Washington State. Unfortunately, Marshall didn’t find the end zone the entire game completing 10 of 19 passes for 99 yards and nine carries for 27 yards on the ground. He is a dual-threat quarterback and should have some help from a strong running game, but he will need to start converting more passes before he can help make the Tigers a consistent winner.

One other name to keep an eye on this year is Maryland receiver Deon Long who had a great game against Florida International to open up the season. Long has bounced around college including stops in West Virginia and New Mexico before he spent a year at Iowa Western College. Long was impressive in his Terrapins debut, hauling in nine receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. He was Maryland’s leading receiver of the game, and had the chance to display the incredible speed that made him a five-star junior college recruit. If Long can settle in with this offense and become their leading receiver, he could emerge as a player to watch for the draft.

@CMScouting: Who are your top three-technique defensive tackles? Best interior pass rushers?

One guy who I’m really starting to like is Arizona State defensive tackle. Obviously the big knock on him is his size at just 6’1, but when watching his games from 2012 he stands out. His burst off the snap is incredible and he has nice athleticism for a defensive tackle. He has an arsenal of rush moves to get through the gap and burst into the backfield. He has bulked up to over 300 lbs. and if he has another excellent season could emerge as a first-round pick and an excellent three-tech tackle.

Florida State’s Timmy Jernigan is another example of a player who is perfectly suited to play the three-technique. He brings a nice burst off the snap, but really excels using his hands to fight through blocks. Jernigan relies heavily on his swim move and a bull rush to get penetration and get after the quarterback. He needs to work on getting off the snap of the ball more consistently, as you see sometimes he is slow to react to the snap. This is the year where he should have the chance to establish himself as one of the top defensive players for the Seminoles and emerge as a first-round pick.

Anthony Johnson is another player who showed flashes last season as a rotational player for the Tigers defense. Johnson is another athletic monster from LSU. He has a great burst off the snap and has the motor and speed to chase down the quarterback. He also has the size and physicality to take on blockers and fill the running lanes, allowing his teammates to make the big tackle. He is still raw as a pass-rusher, with no real counter to get off a block. He will need to show more consistency this season, but if he can develop more as a pass rusher and spend some time in the weight room, he could become the next top LSU draft pick.

These are the three guys for me who really stand out as excellent three-technique tackles. While Sutton may not have the size, he is just a great player and we will see that again this season. They all are good interior pass rushers with the chance to be great down the line, but they need time to develop and grow. I see Tennessee’s Daniel McCullers and Notre Dame’s Luis Nix III as nose tackles.

@ConnorSchumock: Who is the best wide receiver in the 2014 class, Sammy Watkins, Marqise Lee or someone else?

Both Watkins and Lee are incredible talents who should find their way into the top ten next year. They are similar size and offer the same explosiveness and game-changing ability, and you will get a different answer from everyone on who is the best receiver.

It is almost likes splitting hairs with these two and while Lee may not put up eye-popping numbers this year because of poor quarterback play, that will have little impact on his draft stock. What gives Watkins the edge for me though over Lee, is that I have more confidence in his hands and willingness to go across the middle. On Watkins 77-yard touchdown he cut across the middle, then he knocked over the cornerback and sprinted 70 yards down field for the touchdown. We all know Watkins has incredible speed, but he bulked up during the offseason and it showed. His ability to play in the slot and excel outside is what makes Watkins such a dangerous player.

The biggest question facing Lee are his hands, and we saw the issue come up again last week. While he isn’t getting passes thrown by Tajh Boyd, Lee dropped two passes against Hawaii last week and he fumbled on a punt return. While the Trojans would go on to win the game, Lee’s struggles holding onto the football have become evident. Lee is still an exceptional talent and a drop in production is expected, but if his drops continue to be a problem then his stock could take a hit.

Both players will still likely emerge as top draft picks and are clearly ahead of everyone else in the draft class. But if I were to pick one receiver for my franchise, without a doubt I would go with Watkins.
