James Wilder, Jr. - RB - Seminoles

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler considers Florida State junior James Wilder the top RB prospect heading into the 2013 season.

Brugler previously noted his appreciation for Wilder, saying he wins with power, speed, and "tremendous balance and body control to break tackles." We have already seen comparisons to Chris Ivory, and Wilder will likely be relied upon more often in 2013 thanks to the departure of E.J. Manuel.

Cameron Erving - T - Seminoles

NFL scouts are already buzzing about Florida State junior T Cameron Erving, according to CBS Sports' Dane Brugler.

Erving is a former defensive tackle, but started all 14 games opposite Menelik Watson at left tackle. "He has the size, frame and length needed to be an edge protector and has the foot agility to handle speed rushers," Brugler writes. "Erving used his competitive nature on defense to swarm the pocket, but now he shows the same aggressive attitude on offense to eliminate defenders as a blocker."

Dent caught 27 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns in 2012.

Timmy Jernigan - DL - Seminoles

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler believes junior DT Timmy Jurnigan is FSU's top prospect heading into the 2013 season.

Jernigan "stays light on his feet with good movement skills for a 300-pounder, showing smooth hips and fluid lateral range to work up and down the line of scrimmage," according to Brugler. The draft analyst added that the Seminole isn't ranked far behind Louis Nix among defensive tackles.

James Wilder, Jr. - RB - Seminoles

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler calls Florida State junior RB James Wilder "an exciting ballcarrier."

Brugler tweeted Wilder "wins with speed, power and tremendous balance/body control to break tackles," and concluded by saying the running back has huge upside. "Wilder needs to stay clean off the field too with three arrests over the past 15 months... but you get the feeling he can be as good as he wants," Brugler concluded.

Lamarcus Joyner - DB - Seminoles

Scouts Inc.'s Steve Muench believes Florida State senior Lamarcus Joyner isn't an ideal fit at S or CB.

Joyner has started 27 consecutive games at safety, so evaluators will have an easier time with that projection rather than as an edge cover man. Muench notes that Joyner's "effort, range and smarts stand out on film."

Marvin Bracy - WR - Seminoles

Florida State redshirt freshman WR Marvin Bracy has left the team after signing a pro track contact.

Bracy wound up redshirting the 2012 season after injuring his hamstring during summer practice. "He then seemed to draw the ire of Jimbo Fisher this spring, as the head football coach was noticeably displeased that his speedy wide receiver did not show up for any spring practices," according to Tallahassee.com.

Jameis Winston - QB - Seminoles

FSU redshirt freshman Jameis Winston appears to be in line to start at QB for the Seminoles.

Starter Clint Trickett plans on transferring, so Winston and Jacob Coker should battle for the job. After FSU's spring game, head coach Jimbo Fisher hinted that "the competition for the role was still very much open." Winston was 12-for-15 passing in a 205-yard, two-touchdown effort during the spring game.

Everett Dawkins - DL - Seminoles

Vikings selected Florida State DT Everett Dawkins with the No. 229 overall pick.

Dawkins (6-2, 292) made 41 starts for the 'Noles, recording 26 tackles as a senior. He ran a 5.06 40-yard dash to go along with a 1.73 ten-yard split and 23 bench reps at the Combine. Dawkins projects as a rotational three-technique tackle with some pocket-pushing ability.

Vince Williams - LB - Seminoles

Steelers selected Florida State LB Vince Williams with the No. 206 overall pick.

Williams (6-foot 3/4, 233) was a two-year starter at MIKE 'backer for the 'Noles, registering 13.5 career tackles for loss, an interception, and three sacks. He ran 4.76 with a 1.71 ten-yard split and 22 reps on the bench. Williams was not invited to the Combine, but played physically on college tape. "As soon as he steps on the field he just starts coming downhill and hitting people," Mike Mayock observed. The Steelers have a cast of unknowns behind ILBs Lawrence Timmons and Larry Foote.

Dustin Hopkins - K - Seminoles

Bills selected FSU K Dustin Hopkins with the No. 177 overall pick.

Hopkins has been considered one of the top kickers in the country since high school. As a senior, Hopkins was 25 for 30 in field goal attempts, including a 4-for-5 performance against the rival Miami Hurricanes. Hopkins also became the NCAA FBS all-time kick scorer with 459 points. He can also kick off.

Brandon Jenkins - LB - Seminoles

Redskins selected FSU OLB Brandon Jenkins with the No. 162 overall pick.

Jenkins (6-foot-2, 251) missed all but one game in 2012 with a Lisfranc fracture in his left foot. In 2010 and 2011, he amassed 21.5 sacks and 33.5 tackles for loss, and had the look of a future first-rounder. Jenkins ran forty times of 5.07 and 5.09 at FSU's March 19 Pro Day, indicating he may still not be recovered. At this point, he looks like a long shot for a productive NFL career. He will likely make the transition to stand up pass rusher.

Chris Thompson - RB - Seminoles

Redskins selected Florida State RB Chris Thompson with the No. 154 overall pick

Thompson — who's a pint-sized 5-7, 192 — rushed 276 times for 1,736 yards (6.29 YPC) and 14 touchdowns as a four-year committee back at FSU, also catching 45 career passes. Thompson broke his back in an October 2011 game, and tore his left ACL last October 20. A scatback type with straight-line speed, Thompson is a candidate to "redshirt" his first NFL season. Despite Mike Shanahan's sordid history with running backs, Thompson isn't a threat to make fantasy noise in 2013.
Apr 27 - 3:02 PM
Menelik Watson - T - Seminoles

Raiders selected Florida State RT Menelik Watson with the No. 42 overall pick.

Watson (6-5, 310) began his college career playing hoops at Marist before transferring to JUCO and finally landing at FSU for his senior year. He started 12 games at right tackle for the 'Noles and allowed just one sack. Disappointingly, Watson managed a 5.29 forty at the Combine and a 24.5-inch vertical. He did 19 bench reps at the Florida State Pro Day. A project with inconsistent tape, Watson is not quite as athletic as his billing and needs time in the weight room. Some project Watson to the left side due to perceived athletic upside, but we think his fit will ultimately place him on the right side.
