David Bakhtiari*, OT, Colorado
Height: 6-4. Weight: 299. Arm: 34.08.
40 Time: 5.09.
Projected Round (2013): 2-3.
4/24/13: Bakhtiari was a solid player for Colorado, but is an undersized tackle for the NFL. Considering he won’t be a first-round pick, he probably should’ve gone back to school for his senior year. Bakhtiari probably thought he accomplished everything he could in college after starting the past three seasons. Bakhtiari started 33 games and was an All-Pac-12 selection. He had a good showing at the Combine and looks like a second-day pick. Some teams may want to move him to guard or center.

Nick Kasa, TE, Colorado
Height: 6-6. Weight: 271. Arm: 32 1/8. Hand: 9.
40 Time: 4.71.
Projected Round (2013): 3-4.
4/24/13: Kasa was impressive at the Combine, which met expectations. He ran well and was the heaviest tight end there. Kasa also did well in the field drills.

Kasa moved from defensive end to tight end for 2012 and showed some natural ability as a pass receiver. He has a ton of upside and should get better as he gains more experience. The senior caught 25 passes for 391 yards and three touchdowns. A lot of scouts are high on Kasa’s potential because he has a serious combination of size and speed.
