Here is my seventh annual Stars, Sleepers and Overrated for the 2013 NFL Draft. 

Stars

- Dion Jordan, OLB/DE, Oregon

The plays that end with a Dion Jordan sack are over incredibly quickly. Jordan's persistent pursuit and lightning quick acceleration allow him to consistently harass opposing quarterbacks. At 6-foot-6, 248 pounds, Jordan is a cross between Jevon Kerse and Aldon Smith. Jordan's athleticism, 33 7/8 inch length arms, and great get-off make him a natural rush OLB in 3-4 set.

Jordan's career totals of 14.5 sacks, 121 tackles, 29 of them for losses and four forced fumbles, show his nose for the football. Jordan, a former Duck tight end, is extremely athletic and will have no problem if asked to drop into space in a 3-4 alignment.

Jordan's tall, lean frame would suggest he has room to gain 20 pounds of functional athletic strength. With the NFL becoming a passing league, Jordan's quick initial step, dogged pursuit and long arms make him a valuable pass rushing commodity. If cultivated correctly Jordan has the potential to be the best player from this draft three years down the road.

- Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan

In a draft that is loaded with offensive line talent, it is Central Michigan's Eric Fisher who has scribbled his name atop NFL Draft boards. Checking in at 6-foot-7 and 306 pounds, Fisher is an extremely athletic left tackle that should develop into a excellent pass blocker, which makes me see him as a cross between Nate Solder and Joe Staley.

Equipped with 34 ½ inch arms, Fisher is a well rounded left tackle that excels in pass protection. A former high school basketball player, Fisher possesses great footwork and a good base to take on and nullify potential bull rushers. Though Fisher isn't a bludgeoning left tackle, his 27 reps of 225 pounds at the NFL combine, illustrates he has enough strength to play tackle in the NFL.

Fisher's combination of athleticism, toughness and length make him the perfect blindside protector and blue chip prospect, that should start from day one.

- Shariff Floyd, DT, Florida

On the collegiate level, Shariff Floyd was a weekly recurring nightmare for opposing offensive linemen and coordinators. At 6 foot- 3, 297 pounds, the extremely athletic Floyd has a penchant for piercing offensive lines and disrupting plays in the backfield.

Floyd's size and tenacious pursuit makes me view him as a cross between Gerald McCoy and Nick Fairley. During his three seasons in the Swamp, Floyd racked up 115 tackles with 26 of those coming for a loss, 4.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

Floyd, a 2012 All-American and first-team SEC selection, possesses brute strength and good hands at the point-of-attack. Though Floyd possesses the ability to take on double teams and eat up blocks, he's best suited for a 4-3 on gap penetrating system. The combination of Floyd's athleticism and strength should make him a full fledged nightmare on the professional level. 

Under The Radar

- Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina

Measuring in at an agile 6-foot-2 and 311 pounds, Cooper is a Jahri Evans type of offensive line prospect.

Cooper, a former standout high school wrestler, possesses outstanding balance and footwork that allow him to excel in pass protection. Cooper, a 2012 All-American and All-ACC member, is an extremely strong guard, who's initial punch will stymie the most persistent pass rusher. But it's Cooper's agility and ability to get to the second level which make him a special O-line prospect.

You can normally find offensive guards later in the draft. But, if you have a a pocket QB, it is vital to have interior protection and strong athletic guards like Cooper don't fall out of the sky.   

- Keenan Allen, WR, California

The malleable Allen is a 6-foot-2, 206 pound, physical beast of a wide receiver. Allen's physical and aggressive style make me project him to be a Vincent Jackson and/or Michael Crabtree type of NFL receiving prospect.

Allen left Cal with 205 receptions for 2,570 yards and 17 touchdowns. Allen's 205 receptions rank No. 1 in school history.

Allen is a smooth and deceptive route runner, who does an excellent job catching balls in traffic. Equipped with 10 inch hands, Allen has the hand and body control to high point the football. Allen’s ability to catch ball over the middle and fight for extra yards, allow him to excel at YAC (yards after catch) on the NFL level. I rank Allen as the most complete and best receiver in the 2013 receiver class. Allen's deceptive route running, strength and ability to run the complete route-tree should allow the team that selects him in the late first-round, early second, to hit the jackpot. 

Sleepers

- Robert Woods, WR, USC

Robert Woods is the 2013 NFL Draft version of Ikea furniture-- good quality, inexpensive and little assembly required. Checking in at 6-foot and 201 pounds, Woods is a crafty route runner that does a good job of separating out of his breaks. Wood's build and ability to be able to run the full route-tree, makes me view him in the mold of a Santonio Holmes.

Woods had 176 receptions, 2,084 yards and 21 touchdowns at USC. Woods, a 2011 All-American, posted nine 100-yard games and two 200 yard games during his three seasons.

Though Woods isn't a burner, he is a hands catcher that possesses good body control to make the difficult catch. Woods is a sure-handed reliable route runner that has the potential to develop into a very good  No. 2 NFL receiver. Any team in need of a complementary receiver in rounds 2-3, will be pleased with the palatable price it pays to acquire Woods.

- Gavin Escobar, TE, San Diego St.

Gavin Escobar is a match-up nightmare. Escobar is the prototype of the new age NFL tight-end, because of his ability to split out wide and/or line up inline. The 6-foot-6, 254 pound Escobar possesses too much speed for linebackers and is too big for safeties.

Escobar, a former high school basketball player, is equipped with excellent hands that allow him the ability to high point the football. Escobar's 122 receptions for 1646 yards and 17 touchdowns don't fully illustrate his potential NFL pass catching prowess. Escobar is a slightly more athletic version of Todd Heap, and should develop into a quality NFL tight end and a reliable NFL red-zone threat for years to come.

- Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M

Trying to stop Ryan Swope in the slot is challenging for any defense. At 6-foot, 205 pounds, Swope is a Brandon Stokley clone. During his four years at Texas A&M, Swope tallied 252 receptions for 3,117 yards and 24 touchdowns.

Swope, a former high school running back, is a quick playmaker that does the bulk of  his damage over the middle. Swope possesses the ability to break a big play at a moments notice, which was illustrated by his blazing fast 4.34 40-yard dash. Swope's speed, toughness, and ability to make catches in traffic make him a prototypical NFL slot receiver. In 2011 Swope was Ryan Tannehill's favorite target, where last season he became young John Manziel's security blanket. So any team in need of a reliable and productive slot receiver would be foolish to pass on Swope in rounds 2-4. 

- Steve Williams, CB, California

Steve Williams is the type of pick that will require a long-term investment. The 5-foot-9, 181 pound, Williams is a fast and aggressive football player that has the potential to develop into a very good NFL nickel corner back.

Williams' four years at Cal concluded with him racking up 110 tackles, 25 pass break-ups and six interceptions.

Williams, the 2012 Golden Bear defensive MVP, excels in man-to man coverage due to his excellent ability to flip his hip and change direction. But it's Williams' good foot work, ability to break on the football and 4.42 40 speed that make me view him as an intriguing 2012 NFL prospect.

Williams' speed, stature and football playing attributes are similar to 49ers' Chris Culliver. With the NFL transitioning to a pass league, it's imperative to have at least three quality corner backs. The team that selects Williams in the middle to late rounds will be getting a nickel corner that has the potential to develop into a No. 2 corner back. 

Overrated

- Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia

There is no doubt Tavon Austin is this years draft darling. Austin can be compared to a 2013 version of Dante Hall. Hall was voted to an All-Pro Team and was a two-time Pro Bowler, but Hall was selected in the fifth round, not the first.

At 5-foot-9, 174 pounds, I have to question Austin's ability to withstand high speed collisions of the NFL. Yes, Austin is extremely elusive and has the ability to make defenders miss in space. To me Austin has the potential to be a good slot receiver and a plus special team player. But there are plenty of examples of slot receiver/special team players that were selected in the late round and/or went undrafted. See Antonio Brown and Danny Amendola.

Austin landing in this section does not mean he can't play. You do not draft a wide receiver early unless they are a true No. 1 wide receiver like Calvin Johnson and/or have the ability to develop into a No. 1 like Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas. Is Austin a good football player? Absolutely. I just think you can fill the role Austin would play on a football team in the later rounds.

- Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee

I heard some scouts say Cordarrelle Patterson could develop into a Julio Jones type receiver. But at 6-foot-2, 216 pounds, Patterson bears striking similarities to former first round pick Ashley Lelie. Both Patterson and Lelie are tall angular receivers that are allergic to catching ball over the middle and specialize in running the nine route.

Patterson possesses good speed and is an extremely gifted athlete, who is very elusive in the open  field. But Patterson doesn't break tackles and isn't a polished route runner, which make me see Patterson as a better athlete than football player. Patterson's best asset is his elusiveness, speed and big play ability. But Patterson is more a body catcher than a natural hands catcher, and allowing the ball to get on you can negate any advantage gained by his speed.

Patterson is better suited to contribute on special teams rather than as an NFL receiver, and his one year totals of 46 receptions for 778 yards wouldn't suggest so either.   

Here are the previous editions of this series from 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
