Prospect: Nick Fairley
Strengths: I could write an entire article just on this guys' strengths. He is as talented as you will see come out of college at the DT position. I would argue that he is more dominant that Suh. Some of Fairley's key strengths are in fact his actual strength, size, and speed for a man his size. He is extremely athletic and is the definition of a game changer. He is very good at disrupting the quarterback and/or the offensive line. During the national championship game against Oregon, Fairley was very quick off the ball and caused confusion to the Oregon offensive line which created holes for Fairley as well as his teammates because the line was paying so much attention to Fairley. He also can get to the quarterback anytime he wants. His ability to read the quarterbacks eyes and quickness off the spot is tremendous.

Weaknesses: There isn't really anything specific I would put in his weakness area. He has a few questions about his character and work ethic but how I said about Blaine Gabbert, we see that with almost every prospect so it's almost irrelevant. I think the best thing that Fairley can work on is his composure and maturity. He may face a few bumps and struggles adjusting to the NFL game and if he has the mental strength and is mature enough to face the problems head on, he will do nothing but succeed.
Overall Analysis: Nick Fairley is the top prospect on my big board and is worthy of the number one pick. Every expert is high on Fairley including Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. The talent, leadership, and play making ability he will bring to whatever team he goes to will be tremendous. Teams will dare to run against him.
Possible Destinations: Carolina Panthers/ Denver Broncos/ Buffalo Bills
Probable Pick: Top 3
