ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. on Ohio State QB J.T. Barrett: "I think he’s a developmental guy. His passing skills, accuracy and decision making, that’s the big question mark. I’d probably look at him more as an undrafted free agent." pic.twitter.com/skwLBJOo4p

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. on N.C. State's DE Bradley Chubb (Hillgrove High): “He’s the best (pass rusher) by miles. … If Chubb is there it would be hard (for the Colts to pass on him). They have a strong need and this is a bad, bad year for down defensive ends.” pic.twitter.com/KxMXHhnHAi

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. on Colorado State WR Michael Gallup (Monroe): "“Gallup right now when you look at the receivers, he’s the 10th highest rated receiver. That projects him into the third round. He certainly held his own and did a nice job at the Senior Bowl." pic.twitter.com/N2SiDVgg51

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. on Michel-Chubb: “It’s between Guice and Ronald Jones from USC for who is the second overall running back taken will be. Then you fall in with Sony Michel from Georgia, Rashaad Penny (from) San Diego State and Nick Chubb from Georgia." pic.twitter.com/a7tFDFPjE8

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. on Roquan Smith: “Roquan can be the centerpiece of that (Raiders) defense. That’s what they need in Oakland. They have Khalil Mack as the outside threat. They need an inside presence, which Roquan would be. I think he’d be a heck of a choice" pic.twitter.com/kEgC2DePMo
