Markus Wheaton, WR, Oregon State
Height: 5-11. Weight: 183. Arm: 32 1/4. Hand: 8 1/2.
40 Time: 4.45.
Projected Round (2013): 2-3.
4/24/13: As expected, Wheaton had a fast 40 time at the Combine. He had an excellent senior season with 91 receptions for 1,244 yards and 11 touchdowns. Wheaton displayed a nice combination of reliable hands and play-making ability. He had 73 receptions for 986 yards and a touchdown as a junior in 2011.
Wheaton had a strong week of practice at the Senior Bowl. He showcased his speed and explosiveness to stretch the field. Wheaton was sure-handed and ran good routes. It should help him on draft day.

Jordan Poyer, CB, Oregon State
Height: 6-0. Weight: 191. Arm: 30 5/8. Arm: 9 1/2.
40 Time: 4.54.
Projected Round (2013): 3-4.
4/24/13: Poyer didn’t stand out at the Combine, but he has some fans in the scouting community and has a shot to go on the second day.
Poyer was solid, but unspectacular, at the Senior Bowl. He played really well this year, and it got off to a fast start with a great outing against Wisconsin. Poyer had three tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a pass broken up to help the Beavers upset the Badgers. He snagged three interceptions against Washington State.
Poyer missed the game versus Arizona State with a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The senior came back to play against Stanford, but had a mixed outing.
Poyer totaled 51 tackles, seven interceptions, five tackles for a loss, one forced fumble, one sack and seven passes broken up in 2012. He was tied for second in the nation in interceptions. His pass coverage was extremely good this year, but he needs to improve his run defense.
9/1/12: Poyer has been an impact player for Oregon State the past few seasons on defense and special teams. He had his best year with 57 tackles, four interceptions and 12 passes broken up last season. The junior also averaged 22.7 yards per kick return and 14.1 yards per punt return.
Poyer had 34 tackles, two interceptions and four passes broken up as a sophomore in 2010. He averaged 27 yards per kick return and 9.5 yards per punt return.
Poyer has steadily improved his coverage as a cornerback and could rise up higher with a strong 2012 season. He is a good athlete and played some baseball for the Beavers before deciding to focus on football. Poyer is a talented prospect with upside.
