Date:
Marcus Cooper - DB - Scarlet Knights

49ers selected Rutgers CB Marcus Cooper with the No. 252 overall pick.

Cooper did not have a ton of starting experience, but he becomes the seventh Rutgers player to be selected. He likely put forward a nice workout for team scouts and caught their attention. he is nothing more than depth.

Jawan Jamison - RB - Scarlet Knights

Redskins selected Rutgers RB Jawan Jamison with the No. 228 overall pick.

Jamison (5-foot-7 3/8, 203) spent two seasons as a Scarlet Knight before declaring for the draft as a redshirt sophomore. He rushed 486 times for 1,972 yards (4.06 YPC) and 13 touchdowns, also catching 36 passes. Jamison ran poorly at the Combine, both in the forty (4.68) and ten-yard split (1.66). On tape, Jamison shows some open-field cutting ability but is small and runs small, and lacks explosive run skills. The Redskins have now used two late-round picks on running backs -- Jamison and Chris Thompson -- which puts Roy Helu and Evan Royster on notice. Alfred Morris' starting job is in no way threatened.

D.C. Jefferson - TE - Scarlet Knights

Cardinals selected Rutgers TE D.C. Jefferson with the No. 219 overall pick.

Jefferson (6-foot-6, 255) never exceeded 20 receptions in a college season, and scored just two career touchdowns. A long-armed (34 1/4") blocking tight end, Jefferson ran forty times of 4.97 and 5.00 at his March 28 Pro Day. He's not a short- or long-term threat to Rob Housler.

Khaseem Greene - LB - Scarlet Knights

Bears selected Rutgers OLB Khaseem Greene with the No. 117 overall pick.

Greene (6-foot 3/4, 241) earned Big East Defensive POY honors as both a junior and senior. A weak-side 'backer, Greene paced the Scarlet Knights in 2012 tackles (125) and forced fumbles (6) as the lynchpin of Rutgers' No. 4-ranked defense. Greene ran 4.71 at the Combine with a 1.62 ten-yard split and did 17 reps on the bench. He plays faster than the forty time indicates with sideline-to-sideline range both in coverage and run support. Greene fits quite well in the Bears defensive scheme and projects to the weakside.

Duron Harmon - DB - Scarlet Knights

Patriots selected Rutgers FS Duron Harmon with the No. 91 overall pick.

Harmon was viewed as a late-round prospect. ScoutsInc.'s Kevin Weidl stated during Rutgers' bowl game that Harmon was "destroying people out there," as well as commenting on his "good size." He'll compete for snaps behind Adrian Wilson, Devin McCourty, Steve Gregory, and Tavon Wilson.
Apr 26 - 10:09 PM
Logan Ryan - DB - Scarlet Knights

Patriots selected Rutgers CB Logan Ryan with the No. 83 overall pick.

Ryan (5-11, 191) made 26 starts as a Scarlet Knight, logging 11.5 tackles for loss, seven interceptions, and two forced fumbles. Despite the solid stats, Ryan struggled with discipline and technique in the Big East, getting beat deep all too often. He ran 4.56 at the Combine with a sub-par 32.5-inch vertical. Ryan displays short-area quicks and physicality, so perhaps he'll land on his feet as a slot corner in Foxboro with special teams value. The Patriots' current slot cornerback is Kyle Arrington.

Mark Harrison - WR - Scarlet Knights

Rutgers WR Mark Harrison "could be selected much earlier than people expect," according to draft insider Tony Pauline.

"Harrison silently turned in one of the best workouts of any receiver at the combine," Pauline added. "Just prior to the Rutgers pro-day last month Harrison broke the fifth metatarsal in his left foot yet is expected to be 100% by the middle of May." Per Pauline, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers have all had recent contact with Harrison.

Khaseem Greene - LB - Scarlet Knights

Rutgers LB Khaseem Greene visited the St. Louis Rams on April 15.

Greene is an intriguing fit in St. Louis, where former Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher is in charge. Fisher's been known to have small but rangy linebackers in the past, which fits Greene. Greene is a former safety and is best suited to be a weak-side linebacker in a 4-3 defense. He's expected to be a top 60 selection in this year's draft.

Khaseem Greene - LB - Scarlet Knights

The Steelers Digest's Bob Labriola reports the Pittsburgh Steelers has had visits with Rutgers LB Khaseem Greene and Fresno State S Phillip Thomas.

Greene's visit is the one that's most intriguing simply because he's not a typical Steelers linebacker. Greene is largely considered a weak-side linebacker in a 4-3 defense. He flows very well to the ball and is very rangy, which may be why the Steelers are interested. The team needs to get faster on defense and that's what he would bring.

Logan Ryan - DB - Scarlet Knights

Nate Ulrich of Ohio.com reports Rutgers CB Logan Ryan privately worked out for the Cleveland Browns.

Ryan struggled with his technique at Rutgers, getting beat in coverage numerous times. He also showed a lack of speed, which was confirmed at the combine when he ran a 4.56. However, he's a typical Rutgers defender: tough and hard working. He has potential to become a solid starter, provided he gets quality coaching. He could be an option for the Browns in the third round.

Jawan Jamison - RB - Scarlet Knights

Scouts Inc.'s Todd McShay lists Rutgers' Jawan Jamison as his fifth overall RB.

Jamison hasn't received much attention through the pre-draft process after leaving school following his redshirt sophomore season. He is a compact runner with some nice cuts at the second level, but we question his overall athleticism to match up with his running style.

Khaseem Greene - LB - Scarlet Knights

Russ Lande of National Football Post writes teams are split on Rutgers OLB Khaseem Greene.

Lande adds that teams question Greene's instincts, which is interesting. Greene spent a lot of time as a hook defender in Rutgers' Cover 2 scheme and he did well. He flowed very well to the ball and looks to be a solid talent at weak-side linebacker. It'll be interesting to see where he goes in the draft because if he slides, a team could be getting a steal.

Mark Harrison - WR - Scarlet Knights

Rutgers WR Mark Harrison ran an official 4.46 forty during the NFL Combine.

Harrison's 10 yard split was a 1.56. The long strider is turning into a late round favorite in the draft community, but he needs to catch the ball more consistently. Some are even drawing comparisons to Brandon Marshall.

D.C. Jefferson - TE - Scarlet Knights

Rutgers TE D.C. Jefferson might have injured his pectoral muscle while completing the bench press at the Combine.

Jefferson only managed three reps and was being attended to after the event. He usually completes around 20 reps of the 225 pound bench press. Jefferson is still learning to be a receiver, but his willingness to block stands out.
