Question of the week: Which draft prospects are going 'to the moon'?

We're about a week removed from the start of the NFL Scouting Combine, and the Command Center crew is still thinking about who stood out during the action in Indianapolis. Analysts Logan Paulsen, Fred Smoot and Santana Moss recently broke down their favorite prospects in a "stock exchange" segment. Take a look at who they consider to be a "blue chip" player, who they need to "hold the line" on and who is going "to the moon."

### **Blue Chip**

**Moss:** "I'm gonna go with Jeremiyah Love. Best of the best, I think. One of the things about this draft process and the combine, when you put out good stuff on tape, you want to see it immediately. You wanna say, 'I saw what he did a year ago. I saw what he did his last year he played. Now, can he test well when the pressure is on around his peers, around the guys he watches and competed against from afar?' Jeremiyah went out there and, to me, surpassed everything that I expected, because I didn't even think he was moving like that. I saw the guy have a little wiggle and be able to break tackles and run away from people, but to say you can get better in the 40 ... he showed you why he's one of those guys."

**Smoot:** "Sonny Styles. This is what I'm telling people: this is a middle linebacker. He has...DB and wideout stats. You have no problem with him in coverage against any tight end in the league. He can check any running back in the league. And if you line up three wide receivers to a side, he can get just as deep as they can. I just felt like I had never seen anything like this. And for him not to have an injury history, he's checking every box."

**Paulsen:** "For me, I'm gonna go David Bailey. This workout was good, not great. He ran a 4.51, which is excellent for an edge, but only a 35-inch vertical, under an 11-foot broad jump, but fine. Those are fine numbers. For me, the film for him was so good...here's a nice 'B' workout. I still think you're going top five."
