Football Outsiders has a very interesting article here:

Using their metric, they predict Jerry Hughes to be the most successful of the early picks, with Morgan, Graham, Griffen, and Kindle probable middle of the road talent, with Dunlap and Pierre-Paul as complete busts.
They also have Eric Norwood and Daniel Te'O'Nesheim as later round guys who have the potential to be surprisingly good. Norwood would be a decent 2nd or 3rd round pick for us, while Te'O'Nesheim would probably be there in the late rounds. He might be able to play OLB, though the 4.73 40 and 1.61 10 yard split is not particularly encouraging, the 4.18 short shuttle, 6.91 3-cone, 37" vert and 10'01" broad suggest he might have the athleticism to play in space (for the Gold Standard, our own Clay Matthews ran a 4.62 40 with an eye-popping 1.49 10 yard split, had a 4.18 short shuttle, a 6.90 3-cone, with a 35.5" vert and a 10'01" broad).
