Jeff Mathews - QB - Big Red

NFL.com's Gil Brandt believes Cornell's Jeff Mathews is the best non-FBS senior QB.

ESPN's Mel Kiper talked up Mathews last September, so it will be fun to watch his evaluation play out compared to top FBS quarterback prospects. There's a chance Mathews ultimately ends up with a higher grade than former Harvard quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was drafted in the seventh-round.

J.C. Tretter - T - Big Red

Packers selected Cornell OL J.C. Tretter with the No. 122 overall pick.

Tretter (6-foot-3 5/8, 307) lettered at tight end his first two seasons before taking over as the Big Red's left tackle and earning unanimous All-Ivy League first-team honors as a senior. Heady and athletic but somewhat short armed (33 3/8"), Tretter is likely destined for the interior line. Despite breaking his nose just prior to the Senior Bowl, Tretter participated in the event. The Packers do have a history of success with mid to late round offensive linemen.

J.C. Tretter - T - Big Red

National Football Post's Dan Pompei reports Cornell T J.C. Tretter is being looked at as a G by NFL teams.

"He has the quick feet for a guard and upside to improve," Pompei was told by an executive. Tretter is a former quarterback and tight end that played tackle in college, which makes the move very intriguing.

J.C. Tretter - T - Big Red

Cornell OL J.C. Tretter has been invited to the Senior Bowl.

Tretter played tackle in college but his frame may suggest a move inside to guard during the pre-draft process. The senior is actually a converted tight end, so we expect him to have the athletic footwork necessary to mirror, bend, and anchor in pass protection.

Jeff Mathews - QB - Big Red

ESPN's Mel Kiper listed Cornell junior QB Jeff Mathews as a prospect that is "almost famous" or on the rise.

For comparisons sake, Kiper projects that Mathews will receive a higher grade than former Harvard quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was drafted in the seventh-round. Kiper goes as far to say that Mathews "could move into the conversation for the top half of the draft," and cites the junior's big arm, ability to work through progressions and read defenses, and mobility.
