Derek Sherrod R1 (32) OT 6-5 1/2 315 Mississippi State

In 49 games as a Bulldog (47 as starter), he started 36 at left tackle. Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin said Sherrod could play both left and right and showed potential to be an immediate contributor if needed. Was named to seven All-American teams; was also listed as SEC player of the week four times as a senior. In last three seasons, Mississippi State scored 62 rushing touchdowns with Sherrod blocking for 44 of them. Had 319 knockdown blocks. Played against elite competition, which impressed Packers staff, especially in the Alabama game, where Philbin said he got to the second level well. "That excited us a little bit. He can sustain the block, he had good awareness - something you look for in a young player." Graduated in business with a 3.54 grade-point average, was awarded the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame award of an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship. Wonderlic score was 25. For the second straight year the Packers used a first-round pick on an offensive tackle; last year it was Bryan Bulaga. "I feel OK" about the tackle position, said general manager Ted Thompson. "Historically speaking, as you go through a lot of these drafts, if you can get a quality big man, you always kind of lean that way." - Lori Nickel Also: Read story | What the scouts were saying...

Randall Cobb R2 (64) WR 5-10 191 Kentucky

Ran a 4.47 in the 40-yard dash. Posted the highest Wonderlic (25) of the top 20-ranked receivers. Vertical jump of 33½; broad jump of 9-7, bench press 16 repetitions. Arms: 31 inches; hands: 9 3/8 inches; ran the short shuttle in 4.34. Was an all-state quarterback at Alcoa (Tenn.) High School. Third-year junior started four games as a left-handed QB in 2008, his original position before moving to receiver. Also returns kicks and held for placements. Played in the "wildcat" some, which might bring a new twist to the Packers on offense. "Certainly this kid has had some background as a quarterback," said Packers receivers coach Edgar Bennett. "It just opens up additional opportunities. We're talking about a guy that's versatile. We're not game-planning right now, but I'm pretty sure we'll take full advantage of what this kid is capable of doing." In 35 games, he piled up 4,674 all-purpose yards. He's run (1,313 yards), passed (122 attempts) and caught (144 for 1,661 yards, 11.5 and 13 TDs.) Receivers coach Edgar Bennett said he could run some out of the backfield. Set school records for two straight seasons with averaging 9.84 and 12.10 yards per touch in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Will wear No. 18. Also: Read story | What the scouts were saying...

Alex Green R3 (96) RB 6-0 224 Hawaii

In 2010, Green became just the seventh player in Hawaii history to rush for more than 1,000 yards (1,199) and the first since Travis Sims in 1992. The feat is even more impressive considering the Warriors had the top-ranked passing attack in the nation. Green averaged 7.1 yards per carry and scored 20 touchdowns in 27 games at Hawaii; started the last 14 at tailback. Caught 27 passes for 363 yards (13.4) in 2010. Projects as a versatile third-down back. Played two years at Butte Community College in Oroville, Calif., and as a sophomore helped that school to a 12-0 record and the 2008 national championship. Runs the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds. Vertical jump of 34 inches, broad jump of 9 feet 6 inches, 20 repetitions on the bench press. Scored 15 on the Wonderlic intelligence test. The native of Portland, Ore., will wear No. 39 with the Packers. Also: Read story | What the scouts were saying...

Davon House R4 (131) CB 6-0 1/2 197 New Mexico State

Age 21, from Palmdale, Calif. Started 43 of 49 games, including six of the final seven in 2007 and every game from 2008-'10. "He's got the height, weight and speed you look for," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "You can't ever have enough (cover guys)." Ran the 40-yard dash in 4.41 seconds, which ranked fourth among the top 15 cornerbacks. "Really gifted," GM Ted Thompson said. Also had a vertical jump of 33½ inches and a broad jump of 9-1, both disappointing efforts for a cornerback with top speed. His short shuttle of 4.12 seconds was solid, his three-cone of 6.65 was excellent. Managed just 14 reps on the bench press. Arms measured 31 7/8 inches and hands were 9½. "I feel Green Bay got a steal," House said. "I'm a big corner. I've got a lot of room to improve. I'll be playing with Charles Woodson, one of the players I pattern myself after. I also started watching Tramon Williams this year. He's amazing. He's a ballhawk, and I think I'm a ballhawk, too." Capers said House played more outside than in the slot. "We think he has good ball skills," said Capers. "He has played outside more. He's strong enough. I think he'll tackle. It's hard to play corner for us if you don't tackle." Finished with 202 tackles (four for loss), 11 interceptions, three fumbles recovered, one fumble forced and 37 passes broken up. Scored 15 on the 50-question Wonderlic intelligence test. Drafted in the 49th round of the 2007 baseball draft, then in the sixth round of the 2008 draft as a centerfielder. Asked if he'll turn to baseball if football didn't work out, House replied, "Football's going to work out." His last defensive coordinator was Dale Lindsey, a Green Bay LB coach in 1986-'87. Virgil Knight, the Aggies' new strength coach, held the same post with the Packers from 1984-'91. Agent is Ken Zuckerman. - Bob McGinn Also: What the scouts were saying...

D.J. Williams R5 (141) TE 6-2 245 Arkansas

Age 22, from Little Rock, Ark. Two-year starter. "Very, very good with the ball after the catch," Thompson said. "He can really move around." Started 32 of 51 games. "I was surprised he was on the board," tight ends coach Ben McAdoo said. "He was one of the better players on the field no matter who was playing. He may not be the biggest or longest guy . . . but he is extremely effective in the pass game. He probably has the best hands of any (tight end). He's a confident, natural hands catcher. He has a good catching radius. He's been in a pro-style offense and he's been coached very well. He's played a lot. He's been coached well. He's smart." Ran the 40 in 4.61. What kind of a blocker is he? "He's functional there," McAdoo said. Vertical jump of 33½, broad jump of 9-3 and 20 reps on the bench press. Arms were 31½, large hands (10 3/8). Williams said he expected to be drafted "anywhere from late second to who knows where. It was a long wait game for me. I understand my size was an issue with a lot of people, but I'm not going to let it hold me back." Scored 20 on the Wonderlic a year ago and had 26 at the combine in February. "I know they've got a stud coming back in Jermichael Finley," said Williams. "But I've never been scared of competition. Who better to learn from but the guy who might be the best? No place better than the defending Super Bowl champs and Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball." Finished with 152 catches for 1,855 yards (12.2) and 10 touchdowns. Best season was 2008 (61-723), the first for Bobby Petrino in Fayetteville. "I've moved all over the place," Williams said. "I did it for three years in college. I've played fullback, tight end, slot and outside at X or Z." Agent is Marc Lillibridge. - Bob McGinn Also: What the scouts were saying...

Caleb Schlauderaff R6 (179) OL 6-4 1/2 304 Utah

Age 23, from Shelton, Wash. Four-year starter at LG. "This kid plays low to the ground and has excellent balance," offensive line coach James Campen said. "His pad level is excellent. He does a terrific job of trapping and pulling. He has a full understanding of their offense." Has been unable to run the 40 this spring because of hamstring problems; he said he ran 5.09 as a junior. "I pride myself on playing physical and playing nasty," Schlauderaff said. "I bring a physical attitude. I'm a hard worker. I bust my butt. The offensive line isn't a glamorous position." Vertical jump of 28, broad jump of 8-6. "They ran some zone and had a shotgun run game like we do," Campen said. "They did quite a bit of pulling and trapping in a gap scheme. Very multiple scheme." Arms were 32¼, hands were 9 ¾. "He's very durable," said Campen. "A very head-strong kid that respects the value of practice." Is he beaten often in pass protection? "No," said Campen. "He'll go bang a defensive end. He finds work and stays active. He has very good awareness." Scored 28 on the Wonderlic. First-team all-Mountain West in 2010. "I think so," Schlauderaff replied when asked if he projected himself as an NFL starter. "I work hard. You're going from kids to men. It's a challenge. I'm excited to see what I can do." Agent is Bruce Tollner. - Bob McGinn Also: What the scouts were saying...

D.J. Smith R6 (186) OLB 5-10 1/2 236 Appalachian State

Age 22, from Charlotte, N.C. Started last nine games on the weak side in a 4-3 defense as a true freshman in 2007 for Division I-AA national champions. Started all 41 games from 2008-'10, including 32 at WLB and eight at MLB. "With my range and ability I feel I can plug gaps and I can cover receivers," Smith said. "I'll do anything they want." Finished with 525 tackles, which ranks second to former Cowboy Pro Bowl WLB Dexter Coakley on the Mountaineers' career list. "I have the ability to run all over the field and do checks and read the offense," Smith said. "Just my hustle and my attitude toward the game." Appeared at the combine and ran the 40 in 4.74. Vertical jump of 31, broad jump of 8-8 and 20 reps on the bench. "I play a lot faster than 4.7," said Smith. Arms were 32, hands were 9¾. Scored 11 on the Wonderlic a year ago and improved to 20 at the combine. "He's shorter, he's not smaller," Thompson said. "Good arm length. He's a very, very productive football player." His Charlotte Independence High School team never lost a game, winning four straight 4-A state championships. His junior-high teams lost only two games, and he said Appalachian State lost about four games in four years. Mountaineers won four straight Southern Conference titles.

"I'm a hard worker, blue-collar guy," Elmore said. "Someone that loves football and loves to compete." Started 36 of 51 games. Highly productive. Finished with 128 tackles (33½ for loss) and 25½ sacks. "Motor, effort, heart, passion," outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene said. "He has a lot of the things that I preach. He has a big heart." Played linebacker in high school and will play outside linebacker in Green Bay. "In college I was too big to play linebacker in the scheme," Elmore said. "In the NFL I'm not DE-sized. I knew I had to (stand) up. I've been working on it the last five months." Spent five weeks working with Clay Matthews Sr., the former all-pro OLB and father of Clay III of the Packers. "He taught me how to open my hips," said Elmore. "I worked out with him before the combine." Runs the 40 in 4.84. "That time is absolutely fine with the things that we do," Greene said. "That doesn't bother me at all. If he comes in and listens to me, I think he'll be fine." Vertical jump of 34½, broad jump of 9-7 and 26 reps on the bench. Arms were 31, hands were 9¾. Scored 15 on the Wonderlic a year ago and came back with 20 at the combine. "He might not have run fast," Thompson said. "We got back to the old saying, 'Production, production, production.'

Agent is Steve Caric. - Bob McGinn Also: What the scouts were saying...

Ryan Taylor R7 (218) TE/FB 6-3 1/2 254 North Carolina

Age 23, from Winston-Salem, N.C. Played four seasons, missing 2009 because of a knee injury. Primarily a special-teams player; was special-teams captain in 2008 and '10. "I honestly think (special teams) is a third of the game," said Taylor. "I take a lot of pride in it. I put a lot of stock in it. I won our special-teams award all four years." A tight end by trade, he also dabbled at linebacker. "Obviously, I need to work on it (blocking)," Taylor said. "But I think I've become a pretty good player. By no means was I any good at linebacker. It's not something I hang my hat on. But it helped my play on special teams." Didn't catch a pass until 2010, when he established a Tar Heels record for receptions by a TE with 36. Gained 330 yards (9.2) and scored two TDs. Had 28 career tackles. "He's very driven," Thompson said. "We think he's got a chance. He was their top special-teams player for three years. Because of injuries he got to play tight end this year."
