NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah has released his , and while USC defensive end remains the No. 1 player, there are 11 new names on the list, a few of whom could be viewed as surprises. Here is a quick breakdown of the newcomers in Jeremiah's top 50. , OT, Florida Jeremiah ranking: 18th The skinny: Jeremiah has Humphries as the No. 2 offensive tackle available, behind only Pitt's T.J. Clemmings. Humphries is a former national top-10 recruit who battled injury i sues and inconsistency as a Gator, but Jeremiah says Humphries "has a very high ceiling as an NFL left tackle because of his quickne s, length and athleticism." , WR, UCF Jeremiah ranking: 33rd The skinny: NFL Media senior analyst Gil Brandt recently tabbed Perriman as , saying he would not be surprised if Perriman went in the first round, and Jeremiah is high on him, as well. Jeremiah says Perriman (6-foot-3, 214 pounds)
Ryne Nelson Jersey has a nice combination of size and speed and "should be an immediate deep threat as well as an inviting red-zone target." Perriman's dad, Brett, was a wide receiver who starred in college at Miami and played for a decade in the NFL. , CB, LSU Jeremiah ranking: 32nd The skinny: Collins has good size -- LSU listed him at 6-foot-2 -- and he started just 10 times in his college career. But Jeremiah says he has "a very impre sive skill set" and that "he should be a reliable starter very early in his career." , RB, Nebraska Jeremiah ranking: 40th The skinny: Abdullah has had i sues with fumbling, but he is a good receiver and also has had succe s as a return man. Jeremiah touts his "burst" and notes that though Abdullah doesn't have elite speed, "he piles up a lot of 30- to 40-yard runs." , DT, Oklahoma Jeremiah ranking: 41st The skinny: Phillips played only two years at OU and mi sed 2013 with a back injury that required surgery. Jeremiah says that while Phillips (6-foot-6, 334 pounds) remains raw and needs time to develop, he has "tremendous upside because of his size/strength/quickne s." , DT, Iowa Jeremiah ranking: 44th The skinny: Davis played in a defensive system that asked its interior linemen to muck up the works so that linebackers could run free and make the tackles. Thus, as Jeremiah notes, Davis "doesn't have a ton of production." Still, Jeremiah says Davis has an intriguing skill set and "outstanding height, bulk and length for the position (he measured 6-foot-4 1/2 at the )." , WR, Miami Jeremiah ranking: 45th The skinny: Dorsett is another who didn't have eye-popping stats in college -- just 121 receptions in his four-year career, which is three fewer than Alabama's Amari Cooper had this season alone -- but he does have eye-popping speed. "If he gets a crease, he can run away from everybody on the field," Jeremiah says. , LB, TCU Jeremiah ranking: 47th The skinny: Dawson was the best player on a stout TCU defense. While Jeremiah says there are "some rumblings" about Dawson's work ethic and attitude, "he is a sure tackler" who is "athletic enough to mirror tight ends and running backs." Jeremiah also likes his "outstanding instincts, versatility and production." , OT, Penn State Jeremiah ranking: 48th The skinny: Smith joins Humphries as one of two offensive tackles new to Jeremiah's top 50. He bypa sed his senior season for the draft after starting three years at left tackle. Jeremiah likes his "height, bulk and length for the position" and says Smith (6-foot-5, 335 pounds) "has all of the tools to be a solid starting right tackle early on, and he could eventually develop into a left tackle." , DE, UCLA Jeremiah ranking: 49th The skinny: Odighizuwa -- whose name is pronounced "Oh-wuh-MAH-bay Oh-DIH-gee-ZOO-wuh" -- was a four-year player but just a one-year starter for the Bruins. He is a big-time athlete who was inconsistent in college. "I think Odighizuwa's best football is ahead of him, and he should be a three-down contributor early in his career," Jeremiah says. , CB, Connecticut Jeremiah ranking: 50th The skinny: Jones -- who was listed at 6-foot-1 and 196 pounds at UConn -- was a four-year starter for the Huskies who mi sed the final five games of the season because of a shoulder injury that required surgery. Jeremiah says Jones "is at his best in pre s coverage" and that Jones "could be a real steal in this draft. He should start day one in a pre s-man scheme."
