Biotic Community
The fishes of the St. Francis River basin have been sampled extensively with seines since the 1930s and electrofishing equipment since the 1980s. Seining data are available from 56 sites in the upper subbasin and 33 sites in the lower subbasin. Electrofishing data has been collected from 13 sites in the upper subbasin and nine sites in the lower subbasin.
Seine samples provide the qualitative and quantitative indicators that can best define fish communities. Electrofishing samples, using boat-mounted equipment, mostly emphasized the collection of species which could have some angling value. No attempt was made to collect nektonic or benthic fish species by electrofishing.
A total of 130 species representing 20 families have been collected by all methods from the St. Francis basin. The families and number of species are: Cyprinidae (38 species), Percidae (25 species), Catostomidae (16 species), Centrarchidae (15 species), Ictaluridae (11 species), Fundulidae (4 species), Lepisosteidae (3 species), Clupeidae (3 species), Petromyzontidae (2 species), Esocidae (2 species), Hiodontidae (2 species), and Moronidae, Elassomatidae, Cottidae, Poeciliidae, Atherinidae, Aphridoderidae, Amiidae, Anguillidae, and Sciaenidae (one species each).
Further discussions of the fish communities will be separated by subbasin because the upper subbasin is within the Ozark Faunal Region and the lower subbasin is within the Lowland Faunal Region, which includes the Crowley's Ridge creeks (Pflieger 1997).
Upper Subbasin
A total of 106 fish species representing 16 families have been collected by seining in the subbasin (Table Bc01). The central stoneroller and longear sunfish were the most widely distributed species, occurring at 86 and 82 percent of the sample sites, respectively. Thirteen other species were encountered from at least 50 percent of the sites: largescale stoneroller, striped shiner, bigeye shiner, bluntnose minnow, creek chubsucker, northern hogsucker, northern studfish, blackspotted topminnow, green sunfish, bluegill, rainbow darter, striped fantail darter, and orangethroat darter.
A total of 31 species that were found in the subbasin prior to 1971 have not been collected since then (Table Bc02). However, this is probably because the sites where those species were found have been sampled very little or not at all since 1976.
In addition, 14 species typically found in the lower subbasin (longnose gar, shortnose gar, blacktail shiner, common carp, Mississippi silvery minnow, ribbon shiner, weed shiner, suckermouth minnow, smallmouth buffalo, bigmouth buffalo, orangespotted sunfish, western sand darter, crystal darter, and freshwater drum) have not been collected since the construction of Wappapello Lake. The construction of Wappapello Lake probably eliminated the most suitable habitat for these species in the upper subbasin (Pflieger 1997). Eight species (common carp, silver redhorse, shorthead redhorse, channel catfish, chain pickerel, white bass, walleye, and drum) have been sampled by electrofishing since 1976, but not by seining (Table Bc03).
Since 1978, 32 species in 12 families have been collected with boat electrofishing (Table Bc03). Longear sunfish, gizzard shad, and golden redhorse were the most abundant species. Overall, largemouth bass and spotted bass were more abundant than smallmouth bass, which were found mainly in the shut-ins and riffles. The exception is Big Creek, where smallmouth bass dominate the black bass community.
Lower Subbasin
Ninety-two fish species from 18 families have been collected by seining in the subbasin (Table Bc01). Bluegill, blackspotted top minnow, mosquitofish, gizzard shad, and largemouth bass were the most widely distributed species, occurring at 73-85 percent of the sample sites (Table Bc01). Eight other species have been collected from at least 50 percent of the sample sites (i.e. blacktail shiner, pirate perch, brook silverside, warmouth, orangespotted sunfish, longear sunfish, spotted bass, and bluntnose darter).
Twenty species previously collected from the subbasin have not been collected by seining since 1976 (Table Bc02). However, this is probably because the sites where those species were found have been sampled very little or not al all since 1976. The construction of Wappapello Lake probably eliminated the most suitable habitat for some of these species in the lower subbasin. Twelve species (bowfin, American eel, skipjack herring, river carpsucker, lake chubsucker, smallmouth buffalo, bigmouth buffalo, black buffalo, golden redhorse, brown bullhead, and flathead catfish) have been collected by electrofishing since 1967, but were not collected by seining.
Forty one species in 14 families have been collected with boat electrofishing (Table Bc03). In the unchannelized reaches, bluegill, longear sunfish, gizzard shad, and smallmouth buffalo were the most common species. In the channelized section, the most abundant species were gizzard shad, common carp, smallmouth buffalo, and freshwater drum. Spotted bass were more abundant than largemouth bass. Grass carp and goldeye were collected by electrofishing, but not by seining, adding to the species list.
A state-wide angler survey (Weithman 1991) was conducted from 1983 to 1988 and is the only source of creel information for the basin (Table Bc04). Accurate estimates of total angler pressure, catch, and harvest cannot be made where the number of anglers interviewed is low. However raw survey data which partitions angler species preference, effort, success, and satisfaction can provide some data that describe angler utilization of the fishery resource. A total of 845 St. Francis River anglers were surveyed. Black bass and no species preference (anything) were the most common preferences, followed by sunfish and catfish. Catch and harvest rates were quite variable and led by suckers, frogs, sunfishes, drum, anything, and black bass. Sunfish and black bass were the predominant species caught. The fishing quality rating ranged from 4 to 7 (10=Best) for most species, which is considered moderately good.
A walleye restoration project began in 1996. Fingerlings (1-2") were released in May of each year from 1996-1999. A total of 196,098 walleye fingerlings were stocked between Highways 72 and 34. Adult walleye from the lower Black River were used as broodstock. A no-harvest regulation was implemented to protect the newly-stocked fish. On waters of Wappapello Lake and its tributaries, including the St. Francis River and its tributaries above Wappapello Dam, all walleye and sauger must be returned to the water unharmed immediately after being caught.
Commercial fishing is allowed in the part of the St. Francis River which forms a boundary between the states of Arkansas and Missouri. Regulations of the state where the fisher or musseler is licensed shall apply in the St. Francis River. Commercial fishing pressure is thought to be light.
Since the settlement of Missouri, many species have declined to levels of concern and some have disappeared entirely (MDC 2000). Twenty-three fish species found in the St. Francis River basin are of particular concern due to population declines or apparent vulnerability from a statewide perspective. Each species is ranked from S1 (worst) to S5 according to their relative endangerment. The status of each of these species in the basin is discussed below.
- Mooneye (State Rank - S3): Only two lower subbasin sites contained collections of mooneye. Pflieger (1997) noted that it has never been common in Missouri and may be declining.
- Cypress Minnow (State Rank - S1): The only recent records of this species were from collections made 1979 and 1984 near the Ben Cash Conservation Area in the lower subbasin. Cypress minnows were relatively common more than 50 years ago (Pflieger 1997).
- Mississippi Silvery Minnow (State Rank - S3S4): According to Pflieger (1997), this minnow is common in the lower St. Francis River, but has been extirpated above Wappapello Dam. This species has been collected as recently as 1994.
- Pallid Shiner (Extirpated): Once common in the Lowlands, this species has declined, and is probably extirpated from Missouri (Pflieger 1997). Increased siltation associated with altered land use practices is the suspected cause of its decline.
- Ironcolor Shiner (State Rank - S1): Distribution of this species is limited to the central part of the Southeastern Lowlands where it typically occurs as isolated, highly localized populations, but sometimes is quite abundant (Pflieger 1997). Many populations of ironcolor shiners no longer exist and their continued existence in Missouri is doubtful (Pflieger 1997).
- Taillight Shiner (State Rank - S1): Pflieger (1997) describes this minnow as one of the rarest Missouri minnows and may soon be extirpated in the state. It has only been collected from two lower subbasin sites and was last collected in 1941.
- Ozark Shiner (State Rank - S2): This species currently exists in the St. Francis basin only in Marble Creek in the upper subbasin (Pflieger 1997). The most recent collection was made in 1992.
- Pugnose Minnow (State Rank - S4): Primarily a Lowland species in Missouri, this minnow may have increased in numbers in recent decades (Pflieger 1997). They seem to be widely distributed in the lower subbasin.
- Eastern Slim Minnow (State Rank - S2S3): Reservoir construction is the suspected cause of the extirpation of this species from the St. Francis River basin (Pflieger 1997). It has been collected from three upper subbasin sites, but not since 1937.
- Highfin Carpsucker (State Rank - S2): This species was collected from two sites above Wappapello Lake prior to 1957 and the site immediately below the dam in 1989. This carpsucker is rare in Missouri and may be more uncommon now than in the past (Pflieger 1997).
- Blue Sucker (State Rank - S3): This species is fairly common in the lower subbasin.
- Lake Chubsucker (State Rank - S2): Lake chubsuckers have been collected in several tributaries to the lower St. Francis River. They are also fairly common in pool #1 on Duck Creek Conservation Area (DCCA). This sucker is restricted to the Lowland Faunal Region and is becoming increasingly rare and localized in occurrence and could become extirpated from Missouri if trends continue (Pflieger 1997).
- Brown Bullhead (State Rank - S3): According to Pflieger (1997), the only confirmed self-sustaining populations in Missouri occur in pool #1 on DCCA and in Mingo National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR) in the lower subbasin. Brown bullheads are collected by electrofishing each year from Pool#1 on DCCA.
- Mountain Madtom (State Rank - S1S2): This species is rare in Missouri and was collected only once from the St. Francis basin in 1997 in the upper subbasin.
- Starhead Topminnow (State Rank - S2): DCCA and MNWR support the only known substantial population in Missouri. It seems to have disappeared from the remainder of its former locations (Pflieger 1997).
- Flier (State Rank - S3): This species has been collected from ditches in DCCA, MNWR, and from the Wilhelmina Cutoff. Fliers occur almost exclusively in the Lowlands and are naturally uncommon and sporadic in distribution (Pflieger 1997).
- Bantam Sunfish (State Rank - S2): DCCA and MNWR support the only populations of this species in Missouri (Pflieger 1997).
- Western Sand Darter (State Rank - S2S3): This species has been collected from five sites in the lower subbasin, as recently as 1995. It has also been collected from one site in the upper subbasin. Pflieger (1997) noted that it is common in the Lowland ditches, but not abundant anywhere in Missouri, and may be declining in numbers.
- Scaly Sand Darter (State Rank - S3): This species has been collected from both subbasins, most recently from the lower subbasin in 1995 and the upper subbasin in 1992. The scaly sand darter is primarily a Lowland species and has apparently declined in recent decades (Pflieger 1997).
- Crystal Darter (State Rank - S1): Although never common, this darter was found in drainages of the Lowlands, including the St. Francis River (Pflieger 1997). This species has been collected from five sites in the lower subbasin and two sites in the upper subbasin, but not since 1964. Pflieger (1997) adds that the species is probably gone from the St. Francis basin and its presence in other basins is in doubt.
- Harlequin Darter (State Rank - S2): This Lowland species is one of the rarest darters in Missouri. It was collected from five locations in the lower St. Francis River and from the Wilhelmina Cutoff when these sites were last sampled in 1979.
- Longnose Darter (State Rank - S1): Pflieger (1997) believes this species still exists in the upper St. Francis River, but is rare. It was collected from only two sites from the upper river in--1957 and 1970.
- River Darter (State Rank - S3): Although most abundant in the Mississippi River, this darter is common in large ditches and streams in the Lowlands (Pflieger 1997). It has been collected from six sites in the lower subbasin.
No federally listed fish species exist in the basin. However, four species (blue sucker, Ozark shiner, crystal darter, and longnose darter) have been collected from the basin that were formerly included on the federal list as C2 - Candidate for listing. MDC lists one fish species as extirpated, the pallid shiner. Six species (cypress minnow, taillight shiner, mountain madtom, crystal darter, harlequin darter, and longnose darter) are listed as state Endangered. See the 'Fish Species of Conservation Concern' section for a brief status of these species in the basin.
No federally listed mussel species have been found in the basin. However, six species have been collected that were formerly included on the federal list as C2. These species include the elktoe, western fanshell, snuffbox, Ouachita kidneyshell, rabbitsfoot, and little purple. The western fanshell is considered endangered by MDC (MDC 2000). No state or federally listed crayfish have been collected from the basin.
Benthic invertebrates are important to aquatic ecosystems because they are prey for many species of fish, mammals, and other invertebrates. They are also indicators of good water quality because many species cannot tolerate poor conditions. Therefore, the number of invertebrate taxa may indicate the quality of the water within a particular stream. Table Bc05 lists the number of taxa collected in several basin streams. Most of these streams support a diverse invertebrate fauna, indicating good water quality and habitat. It is unknown why Brewer Creek and Scroggin Branch support fewer invertebrate taxa.
Freshwater mussels are common in the basin according to Bates and Dennis (1983), Oesch (1984), Buchanan (1996), and Roberts et al. (1997). Forty-eight mussel species have been identified from the basin (Table Bc06). The majority have been found in the mainstem, but many tributaries support mussels. According to Buchanan (1996) no naiades were collected from Big, Twelvemile, or Otter creeks.
Mussels are also excellent environmental indicators. Many mussel species are declining nationwide. Therefore, the presence of a diverse mussel community may indicate stable conditions, low siltation, and good water quality and habitat. Eleven mussel species are listed in the Missouri Species of Conservation Concern Checklist (MDC 2000). These include the elktoe, flat floater, rock pocketbook, western fanshell, snuffbox, black sandshell, southern hickorynut, bankclimber, Ouachita kidneyshell, rabbitsfoot, and little purple (Table Bc06). These are of particular concern due to population declines or apparent vulnerability from a statewide perspective (MDC 2000). Each species is ranked from S1 (most endangered) to S5 according to their relative endangerment.
Sixteen crayfish species have been collected, including the Big Creek and St. Francis River crayfishes, which are endemic to the upper subbasin (Table Bc07) (Pflieger 1996). The woodland crayfish (Orconectes hylas) is an introduced species and may be a cause for concern. The St. Francis River crayfish was once abundant in Stouts Creek, but has been replaced by the woodland crayfish above Lake Killarney. The woodland crayfish has also been found in Big Creek. The belted crayfish may also be an introduced species. It is endemic to the Big and Meramec River drainages, but three specimens were collected from the St. Francis River in 1987. Six crayfish species (vernal, Cajun dwarf, Shufeldt's dwarf, shrimp, St. Francis River, Big Creek crayfishes) are listed in the Missouri Species of Conservation Concern Checklist (MDC 2000). They are of particular concern due to population declines or apparent vulnerability from a statewide perspective. Each species is ranked from S1 to S5 according to their relative endangerment.

Given his strength, size, and athleticism, don't be surprised if Moore is considered one of the top two or three pass rushers selected in the first round. — NFL.com 2012 stats: 85 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks, two pass breakups, two passes defended, nine QB hurries, one forced fumble, two blocked kicks Saturday Down South's No. 4 SEC player of 2012 Why he's worthy: One of the most underrated recruits to ever don a Texas A&M jersey will go on to become a top-five pick in April. Moore entered Texas A&M as a three-star nobody and exited as one of the top defensive ends in the country. He did everything the Aggies asked him to do. He played a hybrid defensive end/linebacker role in Mike Sherman's 3-4 defense in 2010 and '11. Then, when Kevin Sumlin took over and brought in a 4-3 scheme, Moore put his hand down and dominated again. He was the heart and soul of an underrated defense. Did you see the Mississippi State game when Moore ran down the wide receiver from behind? There is no doubt he's ready to take his game against the greats in the NFL.

Athleticism describes Joeckel's game to a T. He's so athletic it's almost criminal. The way he pushed around defensive ends each week was fun to watch, especially in a conference known for superior defensive linemen. As the primary protector of two mobile quarterbacks in Johnny Manziel and Ryan Tannehill, Joeckel had to be athletic to hold his block for as long as he did. Joeckel is on the same talent wavelength as former first-round picks Matt Kalil, Jake Long and Joe Thomas.

He developed his football knowledge and technique substantially the past five years, flashing a top football IQ and instincts. Werner has the frame and athleticism to win with speed or power and, although he needs to improve his motor for all four quarters, he often looks like he's playing at a different speed than everyone else. He has proved to be much more than just a pass rusher, showing much better awareness against the run and at the line of scrimmage to swat passes down — a possible top-five overall draft choice with the potential to be an impact starting strong-side DE in a four-man front. — NFL.com Without a deep football background, Werner has much to learn. He lacks natural start/stop explosion and must improve his leverage and awareness against the run. He must maintain his intensity throughout the game. NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock doesn't believe Werner is top-10 material and said Werner could be overvalued, especially if he excels at the Combine. Previous Next Previous Next 7 32 7 Cleveland Browns Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU The Browns need an explosive edge player like Mingo to provide some juice for Ray Horton's 3-4 scheme in its first year.

"The most important thing, I think, to show is that I've increased weight — putting on a lot of weight, putting on a lot of size," Mingo said on NFL AM. "I'm weighing 245 now. I played most of the season at 230." Despite that weight gain, Mingo says he has actually gotten faster, and he wants NFL teams to know he'll be able to play either defensive end or outside linebacker in the pros. "I've been working on linebacking skills, driving back in coverage — that was something I was lacking at LSU. Working on getting my hands better," Mingo said. — ProFootballTalk.NBCSports.com The consensus on the draft stock of LSU defensive end/linebacker Barkevious Mingo at this point is there is no consensus. Many draft experts project Mingo as a top-10 prospect, but former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah said there are more than a few teams not sold on Mingo as a top-10 pick. At this point in the draft process, Jeremiah said, imagining Mingo falling to the New Orleans Saints at No. 15 overall isn't out of the question, and chances of Mingo falling to the Saints are better than "a prayer." "There's some who aren't as high on him as people may think just because he played so light. He was not productive this year," Jeremiah said when asked about the Saints' chances of drafting Mingo. "You can watch him in four or five games and you can see him not make five plays," Jeremiah said. "He's incredibly athletic and that's all pretty, but at the end of the day, you look down at your paper and you look for the impact plays that you've written down and they don't exist. He did not have a good year. He was much better the year before. He played more snaps this year, which didn't help." Jeremiah said he was confident the Saints would have no qualms about drafting Mingo to help their new 3-4 defensive scheme to play outside linebacker. "He's going to destroy the combine," Jeremiah said. "That can help your stock and move him right back up. He's not somebody I would say is a consensus top-10 pick. I know numerous teams that don't have him up that high." — NOLA.com Previous Next Previous Next 8 32 8 Arizona Cardinals Matt Barkley, QB, Southern Cal Bruce Arians doesn't want a read-option vehicle as his quarterback. He should want a smart, hard-working kid from the Pac-12 who can be developed as a more traditional passer. Sound familiar?Matt Barkley profile Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 230 Born: Sept. 8, 1990 Hometown: Newport Beach, Calif. Barkley is a communication major who earned Pac-12 All-Academic Team honors. He spent 11 days during 2010 Christmas break in Nigeria visiting orphans, widows, villagers and prisoners, doing construction work, distributing supplies and gifts and sharing daily fellowship. He plays guitar. Expected draft placement While drafting Barkley comes with some risk, and he has drawn comparisons to Matt Leinart, the senior passer is far more mature than Leinart was when he came out of Southern Cal. Barkley's arm is stronger than Leinart's, but not by a whole lot. He makes better decisions and is more coachable. Barkley should come off the board as high as No. 7 to the Arizona Cardinals or No. 8 to the Buffalo Bills. Do not be surprised if he slides to the Houston Texans at No. 27, but he should remain a first-round selection based on the position he plays. — KFFL.com Career Passing Stats Year Team G Cmp Att Comp % Yds Yd/A TDs Int Sacked Yds 2009 USC 12 211 352 59.9 2735 7.8 15 14 17 104 2010 USC 12 236 377 62.6 2791 7.4 26 12 16 107 2011 USC 12 308 446 69.1 3528 7.9 39 7 8 51 2012 USC 11 246 387 63.6 3273 8.5 36 15 14 85 Career 47 1001 1562 64.1 12327 7.9 116 48 55 347 Career rushing/receiving stats Year Team G Rush Yds Yd/Rush TDs Rec Yds Yd/Rec TDs 2009 USC 12 45 -38 -0.8 2 0 0 - 0 2010 USC 12 34 -17 -0.5 2 0 0 - 0 2011 USC 12 28 14 0.5 2 0 0 - 0 2012 USC 11 25 -72 -2.9 0 0 0 - 0 Career 47 132 -113 -0.9 6 0 0 - 0 Previous Next Previous Next 9 32 9 Buffalo Bills Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas Mike Glennon and Ryan Nassib are the other popular picks for the Bills, but Wilson has a better pedigree and fewer question marks. If they go QB here, he would be the better bet. Tyler Wilson profile Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 220 Saturday Down South's No. 23 SEC player of 2012 Why he's worthy: Arkansas didn't have the type of year everyone imagined after Wilson announced he would return for his senior season. After all, he had one of the finest game-day play callers in the country in Bobby Petrino. But it all went south, fast, in a series of events that are almost as bizarre as the Manti Te'o hoax in which the head Hog wrecked his hog and the Razorbacks' season. Wilson was injured the second game of the season against Louisiana-Monroe, which contributed to the biggest shock of the early season, where he got a concussion and missed the one game he returned to play: Alabama. But he lit it up after that. To add to the pressure on Wilson, Knile Davis didn't show up to give the Hogs a balance in the running game. So, in order to stop Arkansas' offense, you stop Tyler Wilson. Even Peyton Manning would have trouble with a one-dimensional offense like that. Wilson finished fourth in the SEC in passing with 3,387 yards and sixth in touchdowns. And while the season as a whole was a major letdown, Wilson left it all out on the field. — Asked by USA Today if he's first-round worthy, Wilson said he is. "I feel that way," Wilson said. "I know where I stack up and a number of things I can bring an NFL team. I think I'm worthy." Wilson has a first-round arm, but the arm isn't everything, and Wilson generally is viewed as a middle-round pick.

Born: Oct. 13, 1989 * Started college career at Southern Cal; sat out 2010 Saturday Down South's No. 2 SEC player of 2012 Why he's worthy: One of the most electrifying and game changing defensive players to ever suit up in the red and black almost never had the opportunity to do so because of an injury. Few thought the two-time consensus All-American Jarvis Jones would ever play football again, much less dominate opponents the way he did in just two seasons. Jones transferred from Southern Cal where the medical staff would not clear him from a neck injury in 2009 against Oregon. But luckily for Mark Richt and Todd Grantham, Jones chose to come back home and was cleared by the Georgia medical staff. And what a profound impact he had. Previous Next Previous Next 11 32 11 Tennessee Titans Chance Warmack, G, Alabama Warmack doesn't have the ideal height at 6-2, but he makes up for it with the way he clears defenders out of the way. He would create some very nice holes for Chris Johnson.Chance Warmack profile Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 320 Born: Sept. 14, 1991 Saturday Down South's No. 15 SEC player of 2012 Why he's worthy: The 2012 first team All-American and All-SEC member capped off an extraordinary career by winning three national championships in four seasons. He's one of the most decorated players on one of the best offensive lines in the history of college football. Warmack developed into college football's best guard and will likely be the first guard selected in the first round since 1997. A polished pass blocker, Warmack is by far the biggest road grader guard in college football. And what he might lack in overall athleticism, he makes up for it by being a complete student of the game, and with his desire to be the best at his position. First it was Tebowing; Second, it was Kaepernicking, and now it's Te'oing. But the newest trend will be Warmacking. That's where Wamarck promptly lifts his jersey to expose his belly just like he did throughout his career at Bama. "Basically you just lift your stomach up and take a picture of it and put it on some social media," Warmack said. "I'm trying to promote that. "I've been lifting up my jersey for two years now. That's kind of like my thing." Compares to: Will Shields, G, Kansas City Chiefs Warmack is a rare prospect. While perhaps a tad shorter than ideal, he uses his natural leverage advantage to get under opponents' pads, driving them off of the ball in the running game and anchoring in pass protection. His lateral agility and balance make him effective getting to and blocking at the second level and handling quicker pass rushers, as well. — CBSSports.com Previous Next Previous Next 12 32 12 San Diego Chargers Eric Fisher, T, Central Michigan There's not much of a dropoff—if any—from Luke Joeckel to Fisher.

His length, power and impressive athleticism, however, certainly suggest that Pro Bowls could be in his future as a prototypical blindside pass protector in today's NFL.—CBSSports.com NFL comparison: Joe Staley Any tackle coming out of Central Michigan will be compared to 2007 first-round pick Joe Staley, who is among the NFL's top linemen. But if there''s one player with the potential to meet those high expectations, it's Fisher. The top left tackle prospect of the senior class, Fisher opened scouts' eyes with his pro-caliber frame and eye-popping agility in the open field, which he should be able to maintain while working in an NFL strength program. Among all other players, Fisher benefited the most when two top junior tackle prospects decided to return for their senior season. With a solid performance during the Senior Bowl, Fisher could solidify his evaluation as a top-15 pick.—NFL.com Previous Next Previous Next 13 32 13 Miami Dolphins Cordarelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee The Dolphins need a bona fide big, speedy receiver to install as the go-to target for Ryan Tannehill. Patterson is a cheaper alternative to a free agent like Mike Wallace, and Brian Hartline may not be re-signed. Cordarrelle Patterson profile Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 205 March 17, 1991 Cordarrelle (pronounced "CORE-dare-uhl") 2012 Stats: 46 catches for 778 yards and five touchdowns; 25 carries for 308 yards and three touchdowns; 24 kick returns for 671 yards and one touchdown Saturday Down South's No. 20 player of 2012 Why he's worthy: Patterson arrived at Tennessee from Hutchinson Community College in Kansas with lofty expectations after making JUCO players look silly on film, and he left for the NFL about as quickly as he suited up in Volunteer orange. Patterson didn't waste anytime announcing his presence against NC State, either, as he torched the Wolfpack's vaunted secondary. He caught six passes for 93 yards and a touchdown, and he also rushed two times for 71 yards and a touchdown. Everyone remembers the end around he took to the house from 67 yards out, but no one can figure out why Derek Dooley and his staff didn't give him the ball 12 to 15 times per game. Patterson just touched it an average of five times on offense in eight conference games. That's far too few for such a talented specimen. Patterson also led the SEC in all-purpose yards. He was good for 154 total yards per game. He caught 46 catches for 778 yards and five touchdowns, and he led the SEC in kick return yardage with 24 attempts for 671 yards and one touchdown. NFL comparison: Demaryius Thomas He may be considered raw with his ability to handle physical coverage, but Patterson is one of the more naturally talented pass catchers to come along in the last few years. He only has one year of tape against FBS level of competition, but from the first game Patterson showed his versatility by making plays from a variety of alignments. If the Vol can start using his hands to release off the line and tighten up some technique issues, he should be one of this class' top playmakers. He should be a first-round selection and could be the first receiver off the board. — NFL.com Career rushing/receiving stats Year Team G Rush Yds Yd/Rush TDs Rec Yds Yd/Rec TDs 2012 Tennessee 12 25 308 12.3 3 46 778 16.9 5 Career 12 25 308 12.3 3 46 778 16.9 5 Career returning stats Year Team G Punt returns Yds Avg TDs Kick returns Yds Avg TDs 2012 Tennessee 12 4 101 25.3 1 24 671 28.0 1 Career 12 4 101 25.3 1 24 671 28.0 1 Career passing stats Year Team G Cmp Att Comp % Yds Yd/A TDs Int Sacked Yds 2012 Tennessee 12 1 1 100.0 28 28.0 0 0 0 0 Career 12 1 1 100.0 28 28.0 0 0 0 0 Previous Next Previous Next 14 32 14 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama The Buccaneers' pass coverage was terrible last season, and it got worse when Aqib Talib was traded.

He is ready to use his pro-ready size, athleticism and change-of-direction ability to become a household name in the NFL after winning back-to-back BCS Championships at Alabama. Milliner's role grew extensively as a junior, and he showed the skills to be a first-round pick in the NFL. — NFL.com Saturday Down South's No. 8 SEC player of 2012 Why he's worthy: Milliner erased the loss of Kirkpatrick in his first year as a starter, and he helped put an exclamation point on the end of the word "secondary" when everyone had a question mark behind it. The former five-star blue chip blossomed into one of the best corners in the Nick Saban era. And yet, teams continued to pick on Milliner throughout the season. One day we'll know why Notre Dame tried to go right at Milliner in Miami. He made play after play on bigger receivers and tight ends. There is little doubt Milliner is ready for the big stage in the NFL, and he is one of the few that certainly lived up to the five-star hype.

He was a finalist for the Butkus Award, given to the top linebacker in the country. Despite his height, Jordan is a fluid athlete and at times covered college receivers. That means he could be used as an outside linebacker in a 3-4, but he projects best as a pass rusher. He can use his height and wingspan with his speed off the edge to elude blockers. He will need to add bulk, but Jordan shows ability to handle running plays with intensity in pursuit worthy of a safety. He also must develop as a front-seven defensive player as he learns his position. He is a rare athlete, intense and having great potential. Jordan missed the Senior Bowl and early offseason draft preparation because of surgery for a torn shoulder labrum, so the Combine will be a critical test. Compares to: Julian Peterson Jordan offers a unique blend of comfort in space, length and pass rush ability. His box scores may not appeal to everyone, but Jordan was frequently asked to cover receivers or tight ends after lining up in the slot opposite them. His future appears to be at strongside linebacker in a four man front, with the ability to rush the passer, or as an outside linebacker in a three-man front. — NFL.com Jordan has the frame of Jevon Kearse (the former Florida Gators/Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles player who was known as "The Freak"). He is more developed in his upper body that his lower body, so he has potential to reached the 260-pound range. — SeniorBowl.com Previous Next Previous Next 17 32 17 St. Louis Rams Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina Some scouts think Cooper is on par with Warmack as an interior line prospect.

Part of that plan must be upgrading the pass protection.Lane Johnson profile Ht: 6-7 | Wt: 303 Johnson played quarterback at Kilgore College, but switched to tight end, which is where he began his Oklahoma career. He changed again to defensive end, then to offensive tackle before his junior season. Over that span, he transitioned himself from a tall, lanky quarterback to an imposing, powerful offensive tackle. But even as he gained weight, Johnson kept his speed, which he demonstrated throughout Senior Bowl week. "A lot of people underestimate me," Johnson said. "I take people's criticism to heart. It's what fuels me and drives me to get where I'm at today." — NewsOK.com Johnson was one of several intriguing tackle prospects participating in the Senior Bowl. He's also a player to watch in a solid year for offensive linemen. For teams such as the Bears, who will be moving to a more wide-open, versatile offense under new coach Marc Trestman, that's great news. It's no secret that the Bears are looking at offensive linemen, whether it be in the draft or free agency. General manager Phil Emery has said several times that he needs to give quarterback Jay Cutler better protection.

Fluker profile Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 355 Born: March 13, 1991 Compares to: James Carpenter, Seattle Seahawks Because of his massive size and upside, Fluker will often earn comparisons to former Alabama standout Andre Smith, who the Cincinnati Bengals made the No. 6 overall pick of the 2009 draft. In reality, a fairer comparison is to former teammate Carpenter, who also earned a first-round selection (No. 25) in 2011 by the Seahawks. — CBSSports.com As expected, Fluker was not able to participate in the Senior Bowl because of lingering groin and calf injuries. He checked in at 6-4, 7/8 and 355 pounds. That's 20 pounds more than he was listed at during his redshirt junior season at Alabama, but that wasn't viewed as a negative. Daniel Jeremiah, a former scout who now works as an analyst for the NFL Network, wrote on his Twitter account that Fluker was "the most impressive prospect" at the Senior Bowl's weigh-in.

He enrolled at BYU in 2008 and participated on the track team in 2009 before joining the football team in 2010. Ansah stood out at the Senior Bowl with his outstanding performance. He seemed more comfortable in scrimmage than running drills, and he flourished in the game, with seven tackles (3.5 for a loss), 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a batted-down pass. In the pass rush, Ansah showed both burst around the edge and raw power, driving the North offensive tackles back on with his bull rush. Against the run, he showed the ability to shed blocks and slide inside to make a tackle. He also maintained the edge when the North attempted to run an end around with Denard Robinson. A factor that should be taken into consideration is Ansah's efforts came against mid-round offensive line prospects. — MLive.com NFL comparison: Justin Tuck It is amazing how far Ansah's technique has come in such a short amount of time, not to mention how much he has transformed his body to fit the role coaches want him to play. That sizable frame coupled with outstanding closing speed and natural power will captivate many, making a top-20 selection possible. Ansah is rough around the edges, but the number of height/weight/speed athletes with positional versatility selected in that area in recent years point to a rise up draft boards. — NFL.com Compares to: Jason Pierre-Paul Ansah is not the same terror-off-the-edge pass-rusher that Pierre-Paul was coming out of South Florida, but he's similarly gifted and plays with greater commitment to the run. Like there was with Pierre-Paul, there is some risk factor with Ansah, but his upside is through the roof. — CBSSports.com Previous Next Previous Next 26 32 26 Seattle Seahawks Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford The Seahawks could go in several directions, including defensive line, but why not add another target to help second-year sensation Russell Wilson?

He developed as a blocker and is usually sure-handed, but must improve his consistency in both areas. While he's No. 2 in the TE rankings for most, it wouldn't be surprising if teams grade him higher than Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert as he is a better prospect than Coby Fleener a year ago — projecting as a top-40 prospect, Ertz has a good chance to be the first tight end in Stanford history to be drafted in the first round. — NFL.com Career rushing/receiving stats Year Team G Rush Yds Yd/rush TDs Rec Yds Yd/rec TDs 2010 Stanford 13 0 0 - 0 16 190 11.9 5 2011 Stanford 10 0 0 - 0 27 346 12.8 4 2012 Stanford 14 0 0 - 0 69 898 13.0 6 Career 37 0 0 - 0 112 1434 12.8 15 Previous Next Previous Next 27 32 27 Green Bay Packers Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas StateAs Dom Capers looks to upgrade the heart of his defense, the Packers need versatile linebackers who can play the run and cover.

Allen has the potential to start as a rookie and could develop into a special player. Keenan Allen profile Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 210 Born: April 27, 1992 Allen decided to skip drills at the Scouting Combine because of swelling in his left knee. Allen had a grade 2 PCL sprain in that knee in late November when Cal was playing Utah, and it ended his season. Allen, whom NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock compared to Baltimore Ravens star Anquan Boldin, got an MRI exam and saw noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews, but his injury should not ever require surgical intervention. He was scheduled to have a follow-up exam with Andrews on March 11. He will run routes only at Cal's pro day March 14 and have a separate pro day in the first week of April where any team that wants to see him run the 40 or test him in the vertical or do any physical drills can would be able to do so. — CBSSports.com An extremely highly regarded prep prospect who was recruited by Nick Saban to Alabama to play safety, Allen elected to make a late switch to Cal to play with his half-brother, quarterback Zach Maynard, who had transferred to Berkeley after initially playing at the University of Buffalo. While a highly productive player against quality competition, Allen does not boast the elite size-speed combination that has led A.J. Green, Julio Jones and Justin Blackmon to earn a top 10 selection in recent years. Allen is athletic and capable of turning short catches into long gains due to his agility, balance and vision but does not possess elite acceleration. Allen's size, physicality and relatively precise route-running should help him emerge as a legitimate No. 1 wideout in the NFL, especially in a timing-based West Coast Offense that caters to his strengths. — Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com NFL comparison: Jordy Nelson A smooth outside receiver, Allen has the height, speed and ability to win jump balls required of a No. 1 target. Maynard's play regressed in 2012, causing Allen's production to fall.

He had career-bests in 2011 as a junior with two interceptions and 16 passes defended, and then decided to return for his senior year. Although his senior stats weren't as impressive (one interception, nine passes defended), teams mostly stayed away from Trufant's side of the field as he was easily the Huskies' top defender.

Much-needed snow is expected to fall in parts of Colorado's high country through Tuesday.
The San Juan mountains in southwest Colorado are expected to get the most snowfall, with accumulations of up to 11 inches by Tuesday. National Weather Service forecaster Bob Koopmeiners tells The Denver Post that Telluride will get the "lion's share" of the snow, but "we all need it. The state's in dire need of water."
Colorado's snowpack is about 50 to 60 percent of normal.
The Aspen area also could be looking at double-digit snow accumulations through Monday.
From around noon on Monday to Tuesday evening, snowfall along the Continental Divide could range from five to 12 inches, while Summit County ski areas could get between three and 10 inches.
