Jordan Webb - QB - Buffaloes

Colorado QB Jordan Webb and former OL Alex Lewis were arrested on charges of second-degree assault on Saturday.

Lewis, who just released that he will transfer to Nebraska, is also facing two counts of harassment. The assault charge is considered a felony in Colorado and carries a mandatory prison sentence if there’s a conviction. Webb tore his ACL last month but the team was optimistic he could play in 2013.

Jordan Webb - QB - Buffaloes

Colorado coaches are still hoping that QB Jordan Webb could return in time for the 2013 season.

Webb tore his ACL during spring practice, and the recovery is usually around eight to nine months. There's apparently a chance that Webb returns in September. "I think MacIntyre would feel more comfortable with a senior backup as opposed to no experience at all behind Connor Wood," beat writer Kyle Ringo said. "That's assuming Wood wins the job in August."

Paul Richardson - WR - Buffaloes

Colorado WR coach Troy Walters believes the "sky is the limit" for junior WR Paul Richardson.

"I mean he can be the best in the country," Walters said. "He has all the tools and abilities to be the best out there. I mean, he can run. He's got another gear that I haven't seen in college football. He's got great hands and he's hungry. So you add all those things together. He's coachable. I expect big things out of him this year." Richardson missed the 2012 season due to a torn ACL.

Nick Kasa - TE - Buffaloes

Raiders selected Colorado TE Nick Kasa with the No. 172 overall pick.

Kasa (6-foot-5 7/8, 269) was a defensive end until halfway through his junior year. As a senior, he caught 25 passes for 391 yards (15.6 YPR) and three touchdowns before showing good speed (4.71 forty) at the Combine. Kasa is a work in progress, but his size-speed combination gives him long-term upside. The Raiders have little talent at the position, so despite his lack of comfort as a receiver, Kasa has a chance to touch the field as a rookie due to his willingness to block.

David Bakhtiari - T - Buffaloes

Packers selected Colorado OT David Bakhtiari with the No. 109 overall pick.

Bakhtiari (6-foot-4 1/4, 299) made 33 starts for the Buffs, succeeding Nate Solder at left tackle. Bakhtiari is athletic with long arms (34"), but his best NFL position will be guard after he struggled on an island in the Big 12. One medical concern is a recurring knee injury that cost Bakhtiari two games in 2011 and another in 2012. He declared for the draft as a redshirt junior. He shouldn't see many snaps as a rookie.

Nick Kasa - TE - Buffaloes

New York Giants TE coach Michael Pope put Colorado's Nick Kasa through his pro day workout.

"Kasa ran the short shuttle in 4.45 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.18 seconds, and then stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine," according to Gil Brandt of NFL.com. Right now, Kasa is a solid blocker with toughness and overlooked straight-line speed, but if he can become more comfortable in space as a receiver the former defensive end could be productive in the NFL.

David Bakhtiari - T - Buffaloes

Colorado OL David Bakhtiari was worked out by a Cincinnati Bengals assistant OL coach during the school's pro day.

Bakhtiari stood on his numbers from the Combine. We expect the early declaree to make the switch inside to guard, since he possesses a natural aggression but tends to lose when overextending.

Nick Kasa - TE - Buffaloes

Colorado TE Nick Kasa ran an official 4.71 forty with a 10 yard split of 1.63.

Kasa pulled up at the end of the first forty and did not participate in the rest of the workout. This is good long speed for a player of his size, and it shows up on vertical routes. Kasa's bread and butter is his willingness to block, he just needs to keep his feet when mirroring.

David Bakhtiari - T - Buffaloes

Colorado OL David Bakhtiari said he is being projected as a LT and C by some teams, even though he has never snapped before.

Bakhtiari measured in at 6'4 1/4 inches and 299 pounds with 34 inch arms. That length will help him in the NFL, but we felt he lost too often on an island against counter moves. A move to guard might be his best option, since he already possesses an aggressive attitude.

Nick Kasa - TE - Buffaloes

Former Colorado head coach and new Browns TE coach Jon Embree spoke highly of TE Nick Kasa.

"He's a big guy that can run, very athletic," Embree said. "I'm very happy for him, I actually talked about him in my interview with Cleveland." Embree was the coach that talked Kasa into switching from defensive end to tight end halfway through his junior year. The Colorado product's best traits are his blocking and straight-line speed, but he needs to show more comfort as a receiver.

David Bakhtiari - T - Buffaloes

SI's Tony Pauline is "being told" Colorado junior T David Bakhtiari will likely enter April's Draft.

We don't know much about Bakhtiari other than he has started at left tackle the past two seasons and took over for Nate Solder at that spot. He does not have the height Solder did, therefore a guard projection may be in his future, but Bakhtiari gets after it and loves to latch and engage his opposition.

Nick Kasa - TE - Buffaloes

Colorado senior TE Nick Kasa has been invited to the East-West Shrine Game.

Kasa could be the next third day tight end selection with athletic upside. Perhaps more than any other position, the NFL has been open to drafting raw but athletic prospects in the hopes of molding them. Kasa has the size and straight-line speed to win in a variety of ways despite playing only one season at the position.

Nick Kasa - TE - Buffaloes

Colorado senior TE Nick Kasa caught five passes for 51 yards against Utah to end his senior season.

Kasa, a first year tight end, switched positions from defensive end during the offseason and has really impressed us with his straight-line speed and catching ability. He isn't polished, but Kasa is the type to earn a third day grade based on upside alone.

Ray Polk - DB - Buffaloes

After suffering a high-ankle sprain during the team's season opener, Colorado senior S Ray Polk is questionable for Thursday's game against Arizona State.

"I'm going to try to go," Polk said. "But if it's not ready, I'm not going to be a liable risk for the team." The senior is a reliable tackler but struggles to cover a lot of ground in the deep half.

Jordan Webb - QB - Buffaloes

Colorado head coach Jon Embree has named Kansas junior transfer Jordan Webb the Buffaloes starting QB.

Webb beat out Texas transfer Connor Wood and sophomore Nick Hirschman for the job. The junior accumulated 3,079 passing yards along with 20 touchdowns and 20 interceptions during his time as a Jayhawk, but left the team soon after Charlie Weis took over as head coach. "I’m not into playing games, sitting around waiting. I think it’s fair to the players and the team that when we knew, we let them know," Colorado head coach Jon Embree said.
