NFL Media draft analyst Lance Zierlein compared Kansas State edge rusher Jordan Willis to Los Angeles Chargers LB Kyle Emanuel."[Willis] will need more creativity to be an effective NFL pass rusher," Zierlein writes, "but he should be able to earn a roster spot and work his way up the pecking order in either a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme." Zierlein colleague Bucky Brooks views him as possible Day 3 pick, but we would not be surprised if a team fell in love with his athletic measurables -- he was one of the best all-around performers at the NFL Scouting Combine -- and used a selection on him on Day 2.Source: NFL.com Mar 14 - 9:30 PM

Kansas State LB Elijah Lee met with the Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals earlier this week.Because he wasn't invited to the NFL Combine, Lee may be more sought out than he otherwise would have been during this pre-draft cycle. He has an official pre-daft visit scheduled with the Vikings in addition to a workout slated for the Detroit Lions.Source: Draft Analyst Mar 15 - 5:25 PM
28. Dallas CowboysJordan Willis, Edge, Kansas StateAn outstanding combine confirmed what we saw on tape from Willis after he posted the nation’s top grade among edge defenders at 94.3 overall, including a 94.1 pass-rush grade. He notched 15 sacks, eight QB hits, and 54 hurries on 546 rushes, and while he did much of his damage against overmatched Big 12 right tackles, he showed the ability to threaten the edge and carried it over into the Senior Bowl game in Mobile. Willis adds a pass-rush threat to a Dallas defensive front that sorely needs it.
Kansas State edge rusher Jordan Willis has private workouts scheduled with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Philadelphia Eagles.Per Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline, Willis has already worked out privately with the Jaguars. Pauline further passes along that both the Dolphins and Cowboys are "showing a lot of interest." The analyst notes that the 6-foot-5, 258-pounder "look[ed] flawless in both defensive line and linebacker drills" during pro day festivities and writes that "it will be a stretch for Willis to end up in the late part of Round 1 but would expect him to be off the board during the top half of the second frame."Source: Draft Analyst Mar 25 - 12:52 PM
In an informal poll of five NFL teams conducted by Walter Football, the draft projections for Kansas State edge rusher Jordan Willis ranged from the second to the fifth round.The most bullish of these five teams is viewing Willis as a pick for the middle of the second round. The others were slightly more conservative, with two teams tabbing the 6-foot-5, 258-pounder as a late second round, early third round selection, another viewing him as a fourth- or fifth-rounder and one last entrant seeing Willis as a third-rounder. He has private workouts scheduled with the Bucs and Eagles for the near future and has already held one such workout with the Jaguars. While Walter Football's is hearing plenty of third-round talk, Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline believes that he will be drafted in the first half of the second round.Source: Walter Football Mar 26 - 2:27 PM
in the end, EMAW will always win.
Risner and then perhaps the guy who embarrassed Garrett.
Bengals suck
Looking like Elijah Lee's choice to go pro may have been an awful one. Damn.
