A few interesting notes from Breer:
-Teams I’ve talked to really, really like Indiana receiver Omar Cooper Jr., who’s tough as nails, clean character-wise and has the versatility to play inside and outside. Best known for the otherworldly catch he made to beat Penn State, he might be better than any receiver in the draft after the catch, and I think some teams have him right there with the best wideouts in the entire class.
-More teams than I thought actually prefer Akheem Mesidor to fellow Miami edge Rueben Bain Jr., which both reflects what a good prospect Mesidor is and also illustrates how Bain’s lack of length affects his evaluation in the view of some (but not all) scouts. The problem is Mesidor just turned 25 and has an injury history. But he’s a really, really good player.
-Arizona State OT Max Iheanachor has helped himself through the process. He’s a heck of a story—an AAU hoops star and Nigerian immigrant who was convinced to give football a shot in junior college, based on his size and athleticism, before becoming a Sun Devil. There’s a ton of room for Iheanachor to grow, and he could become someone’s long-term left tackle, if they have the infrastructure to develop him the right way. Teams are most certainly intrigued.
-Greg, Thieneman is an interesting one. He’s a sound tackler, great traffic director and instinctive, whip-smart safety, and he answered a lot of questions by crushing the testing at the combine. The question left for him concerns how stiff he is as a mover and how that will affect him in man coverage, which will be more of a problem in some schemes than others. But as it stands right now, I’d say he’ll probably go somewhere between picks No. 18 and 40.
-I think movement starts between picks No. 10 and 20, as the top of the pass-rusher and tackle boards start to run dry. So, sure, the Jets might be able to move down if someone like Georgia OT Monroe Freeling or one of the Miami pass rushers are still there.

Some teams preferring Mesidor to Bain doesn't surprise me at all since there were a few games before I knew who Mesidor was, but was watching Bain, where I wondered who the heck the other guy was because he looked better than Bain.
There's just so much to sort through with him from the age to the feet to whatever this shoulder situation is.
