Oklahoma St
CB Kevin Peterson, JR #1 (5’11 | 185 | 4.58)
Scouting report – Solid cover corner with good footwork, a fluid backpedal, natural ball skills and the necessary confidence to play corner. Peterson has decent size but lacks elite speed. His quick feet and smooth technique make up for it on the college level, but he will struggle against elite NFL receivers. He projects as a dime back and special teams contributor at the next level.
Projection: 4th-5th round
DT James Castleman, SR #91 (6’2 | 300 | 5.12)
Scouting report – Powerful run stopper inside. Castleman is a 1-tech DT who holds the point of attack well against the run. He moves pretty well for a big man, but has balance issues and gets pancaked in pursuit more than a guy with his size and power should. Castleman should hear his name called sometime on day 3 and be an early-down rotational DT in the pros.
Projection: 5th-6th round
