It appears a couple of Michigan State defensive backs are making a jump up draft boards, including a significant move in the right direction for one.
Just last month, ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said safety Khari Willis was likely to go on the third day of the draft, meaning somewhere in rounds four to seven. On Tuesday, though, in unveiling his latest mock draft, Kiper said Willis has taken a considerable leap as the draft is roughly a month away.
“I like Khari Willis as a solid second- or third-round pick coming out,” Kiper said on a conference call with reporters.
