Gamecock Draft Day Preview

According to Scott Wright at draftcountdown.com this is a breakdown of the draft hopes for the 7 Gamecocks heading to the NFL ---

Jared Cook, TE
Projection: Rounds 2-3
The buzz: Fast, athletic former wide receiver who could be one of the first players selected at his position.

Jamon Meredith, OT
Projection: Rounds 2-3
The buzz: Versatile blocker with excellent athleticism and quickness who could project to tackle or guard.

Emanuel Cook, S
Projection: Rounds 3-4
The buzz: Short, lacks great timed speed and has some character concerns but is very tough and physical.

Captain Munnerlyn, CB
Projection: Rounds 3-5
The buzz: Certainly doesn’t have the ideal height that you look for but is extremely fast and very athletic.

Kenny McKinley, WR
Projection: Rounds 4-6
The buzz: Average size and speed but has good hands and probably profiles as a slot receiver in the NFL.

Jasper Brinkley, ILB
Projection: Rounds 5-7
The buzz: Massive linebacker whose best fit at the next level will likely come inside in a 3-4 scheme.

Mike Davis, RB
Projection: Round 7 or undrafted free agent
The buzz: Short, compact runner who could compete for a roster spot but won’t be more than a backup.

Ryan Succop, PK
Projection: undrafted free agent
The buzz: Kickers don't get drafted so he will have to wait and see where he ends up
