NFL Draft: Updated First-Round Targets

**Jonathan Allen - Walter Football**
Position: DE
College: Alabama
Scouting Report: Capable of playing DE and DT, Allen has the kind of versatility and pass-rushing ability to be a force in the NFL. As a senior he led the Crimson Tide with 12 sacks to go along with 14.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and four pass deflections. He has great length at 6-foot-3, and at roughly 290 pounds, he should be able to match up with pro O-linemen in terms of physicality.

**Robert Nkemdiche - CBS Sports**
Position: Defensive Line
College: Ole Miss
Scouting Report: One of the most physically gifted prospects in the 2016 class, Nkemdiche moves incredibly well for someone listed near 300 pounds. Fluid lower-body movements help him change directions and elude blocks; his hand technique helped many times as a Rebel. Although he played a lot of DT in college, he has the speed and explosiveness off the snap to be an edge rusher in the NFL.

**Reggie Ragland - NFL.com**
Position: LB
College: Alabama
Scouting Report: With a high football IQ, a unique ability to shed blocks and good coverage skills, Ragland projects to be a solid inside linebacker at the NFL level. He thrives against the run, too, and has the kind of closing speed needed to track down pro RBs. Ragland was named the SEC's Defensive Player of the Year and a First-Team All-American thanks to his 97 tackles (56 solo), 6.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.

Corey Coleman - Pro Football Focus
Position: WR
College: Baylor
Scouting Report: Julio Jones is arguably the best receiver in the world, but that doesn't mean the Falcons wouldn't benefit from adding Coleman: a premier deep threat who may be the best wide out in this year's class. Although he's only 5-foot-10, the Baylor standout is incredibly athletic and caught 20 touchdown passes in 2015 on just 74 catches. Coleman has the makings of a star, and if he's lined up with a Pro Bowl WR, he should be able to make a big impact as a rookie.

**Shilique Calhoun - Bleacher Report**
Position: DE
College: Michigan State
Scouting Report: A big lineman at 6-foot-5, Calhoun uses his length and lower-body strength to wreak havoc on the edge. His hand technique is refined; he moves well, has a good first step and can quickly change directions. A good Combine performance and some added strength could propel him into the first round.
