Whitney Mercilus, Illinois

Height: 6-3. Weight: 261. Scouting report: His name is perfect as he shows no mercy to offensive linemen with his speed, power and lateral movement. He led the nation with 16 sacks last season but needs to get a better grasp of shedding blockers. He also can fit into a 3-4 defense as an outside linebacker.

Bunting’s take: Physically he has the skills to manhandle college linemen at times. However, he’s a raw kid who doesn’t have a great feel for the game. That may keep him from being the type of pass rusher his freaky skill set says he could be.
