NT Justin Ellis, Louisiana Tech -- One of my favorite midrounders, Ellis is easily the 2nd best NT in this draft. Sitting at a squatty 6'1", 350 lbs, Ellis looks every single pound of that on tape. He looks like Vance Wilfork against La Tech's lesser competition: constant push in the passing game and absolute domination between the tackles. He looked outstanding at the East/West game, as well. So at this point, for teams in need of a NT, he should shoot up from the mid-round prospect he's regarded as now to a 2nd day prospect. He has definite starter potential, and if the Chiefs were serious about either giving Poe a blow, or moving him to DE, Ellis is definitely worth a look if he lasts to the 4th round.
