Big back who doesn’t usually run like it and rarely imposes his will on second-level tacklers. Content to do just enough to get by, according to key evaluators in the league, and his loss of playing time was about effort and work ethic, which isn’t going to sit well with NFL teams. Brown’s size gives him a shot, but he doesn’t have the creativity as a runner to make it if power isn’t his calling card in the NFL. – Lance Zierlein

Doesn’t have much tread off the tires since arriving to Auburn from junior college. Has proven that he can hit the turbo button and get through creases, but lacks special traits and ability to max out carries. Artis-Payne is a tough runner but I question if he has enough athleticism to be anything more than a grinder and average backup. – Lance Zierlein

Workhorse back able to make plays late in the game and work out of the backfield to keep defenses honest. His relative elusiveness in space and ability to cut on a dime give him the ability to create yards where there are none, but his average vision and inability to finish off runs will keep him from getting some of the yards teams might expect. He’s well-rounded enough to be a very good backup with middle- of-the-road starting potential. – Lance Zierlein

While the comparison to Marshawn Lynch might be a little much considering Lynch’s exploits in the NFL, Ajayi’s running style and body type are very similar to Lynch’s and Ajayi features an improving stiff arm and physicality that has become Lynch’s calling card. Ajayi has the ability to play all three downs while mashing in short yardage and near the goal line. Scouts have been quietly circling Ajayi as a second-tier running back who offers tremendous value on the second day (Rounds 2-3) of the draft. – Lance Zierlein

Despite having first-round talent, Abdullah’s lack of preferred NFL size and issues with ball security might cause some teams to shy away from him in the opening round. Abdullah has explosive potential as a runner and ball-catcher and is a natural zone-scheme fit. His high character will make him a hit during interview process. – Lance Zierlein

With Anthony Davis out due to injury, Nowitzki will make his 13th All-Star appearance in 2015. He’s currently averaging 18.3 PPG to go along with 6.0 RPG and can still hit those clutch shots like nobody’s business.

Tall receiver with marginal deep speed but a plus ability to challenge for the deep ball and come down with it thanks to his long arms and body control. He doesn’t have the quickness or route running to free himself underneath so he needs to find an offense that allows him to play downfield and win with size. – Lance Zierlein

He’s not just a product of West Virginia’s system – he’s talented. White competes hard for the ball and has the leaping, hands and high-pointing ability to be a factor down the field despite his lack of top-end speed. His improvement from 2013 to 2014 is a great sign, but his 40 time could define his draft stock. – Lance Zierlein
