Update on Soon To Be ProCanes

Among the UM players we hear helped themselves in all-star games: Baraka Atkins (''very impressive -- a second or third rounder,'' Next Level Scouting's John Murphy said); Brandon Meriweather (some consider him a second-rounder) and Tyrone Moss (''he showed burst in practice and his weight was down to 233,'' Murphy said).

Though Murphy projects Moss as a ''solid second-day guy'' (rounds 4 through 7), Moss predicted he will ''most definitely'' be a first-day pick. But Kareem Brown -- a likely second-day pick called an ''underachiever'' by ESPN's Mel Kiper -- had trouble getting off blocks in Senior Bowl practices.
Receiver Ryan Moore, at an all-star game in Las Vegas this week, has the talent to be a first-day pick, Murphy said. But Moore says he must show teams ''what kind of person I am'' because of off-field incidents at UM.
