Philadelphia Eagles Draft Central

This South Dakota native has blossomed into a NFL-caliber receiving tight end during his time with the home-state Jackrabbits. Goedert (pronounced GOD-ert) was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award as the top player in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2016, also grabbing several All-American awards and a first-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference nod. His combination of size, speed, agility, and reliable hands allowed him to rank him in the top 15 in the FCS with 92 receptions for 1,293 yards and 11 touchdowns -- and made scouts stand up and notice. Goedert started 10 of 12 games played as a sophomore, catching 26 passes for 484 yards and three scores; he had a part in the team's win over Kansas early on, catching two passes for 49 yards. He played in 14 games as a redshirt freshman in 2014, and lead the team's tight ends with eight receptions for 100 yards.

Don't be misled by Maddox's smallish frame, he's proven himself a tough-minded defender since putting on his Panther jersey for the first time. Maddox was a third-team All-ACC selection as a senior, starting 10 games (missed two with an arm injury), making 27 tackles, four for loss (all sacks), intercepting two passes, breaking up 11 others, and forcing three fumbles. He also missed three games with an arm injury in 2016, but played in 10, starting nine for the year. He recorded 49 tackles, 8.5 for loss, 2.5 sacks, and led the team with three interceptions (one for a 33-yard touchdown) and eight pass breakups. Maddox was voted honorable mention All-ACC in 2015 after starting all 13 games, posting 75 tackles and a team-best three interceptions and nine pass breakups. The two-way Detroit Metro high school star (35-956, 14 TD receiving; 65-717, four TD rushing; four interceptions, two returned for scores) was an impact freshman for the Panthers in 2014, starting six of 13 games played, compiling 32 tackles and three pass breakups.

Florida State has had its fair share of defensive ends make it to the NFL, which may have helped Sweat pick the Seminoles as a five-star, top-10 overall recruit nationally coming out of Virginia. He missed most of his senior season of high school due to injury but still made an immediate impact in his first year on campus at Tallahassee. Sweat played in all 13 games, starting nine, made 41 tackles, five for loss, and two sacks. He finished the year on a high note, making two tackles for loss and a sack against Houston in the Peach Bowl. Knee surgery sidelined Sweat early in the 2016 season, but he came back to use his length and agility as an edge rusher to affect opponents' offenses. The sophomore started 10 games, playing in 12 overall, and was credited with 41 tackles, 11.5 for loss, and seven sacks (all coming in the final eight weeks). Sweat took that success and ran with it, starting 12 games, posting 56 tackles, 12.5 for loss, 5.5 sacks, with three breakups. He chose not to play in the Independence Bowl against Southern Miss to prepare for the NFL Draft.

Mailata was a professional rugby player in Sydney, Australia before coming to the United States in January of this year to try his hand at American football. The 20-year-old Samoan has been training hard to learn how to use his massive but athletic frame (6-foot-8, 345 pounds) as an offensive lineman. His work at IMG Academy in Florida paid off with an excellent pro day (5.12 40-yard-dash, 4.67 short shuttle, 22 bench press reps) attended by all 32 teams, as well as several team visits.
