2012 NFL Draft: One Scouting Combine Invitee Each NFC East Team Should Scout

With so many prospects running so many drills, it can be hard to keep track of everything during the NFL Scouting Combine.

And though each team will be looking at as many prospects as they can, let's take a look at just one prospect that each NFC East team should be looking at this week in Indianapolis.

Dallas Cowboys: Nick Toon, Wide Receiver, Wisconsin

With the recent news that Laurent Robinson will hit the open market as a free agent, according to ESPN, the Cowboys may also be in the market for a wide receiver. Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and Jason Witten are all great pass-catchers, but in that Air Coryell-style offense of head coach Jason Garrett, the Cowboys can use as many pass-catchers as they can get, especially ones who can run.

They'll be watching the 40-yard dash closely and should have their interest piqued by Toon, who looks NFL-ready, with one question: Can he go deep?

Well, what better time to find out than the combine?

Although he may struggle to gain separation at times, he knows how to use his frame to win those one-on-one matchups that Garrett and Tony Romo both love on the outsides.

New York Giants: Orson Charles, Tight End, Georgia

Orson Charles has been a popular mock selection for the Giants, and it's not hard to see why, with both Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum set to begin the season on the shelf according to Jorge Castillo of the Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger.

Charles may not be quite the blocking tight end that the Giants like to have on their roster, but he gives them a great option in the passing game with his speed and his ability to stretch the field with seam routes.

He could give the Giants an answer to not only the loss of their tight ends, but also the potential loss of free-agent-to-be wide receiver Mario Manningham.

He has long since proven his abilities as a pass-catcher, having hauled in 45 passes for 574 yards and five scores in 2011—what the Giants will be looking for from Charles is strength. They'll want to know that he can contribute something as a blocker, even if just marginally so

Washington Redskins: Stephen Hill, Wide Receiver, Georgia Tech

The Redskins' three leading receivers in receptions were journeyman Jabar Gaffney, tight end Fred Davis and running back Roy Helu. Their best receiver, Santana Moss, will be 33 in June. Donte Stallworth will be 32 in November, and Gaffney will be 32 in December.

The Redskins need youth, but what they really need is a reliable red-zone target. Jabar Gaffney led the team with just five touchdown receptions in 2011. Hill, too, caught five touchdowns in the ACC, and his size suggests he'd be a tough matchup for anyone.

There's next to no question about Hill's physical ability. At 6'5" and 206 pounds with good long speed, teams should be able to find uses for him early.

The question, as it is with so many prospects at the combine, is whether that athleticism can translate to NFL talent that can last. Perhaps these words from National Football Post sum it up best:

"

Has a unique skill set, can pluck off his frame, track the football and is the next big-time talent from the Georgia Tech program. Is going to need some time to develop, but can come in and track football vertically early on. Has a lot of upside to his game and skill set says he's an NFL starter.

"

Where the Redskins will want to test Hill is on the chalkboard. Being a good NFL player is about much more than just physical traits. There's a requisite football acumen that teams will be looking for in a player. 

Can he quickly digest information and know his responsibilities on any given play? Those are the questions the Redskins will want to ask themselves in their evaluation of Hill.

Philadelphia Eagles: Luke Kuechly, Linebacker, Boston College

It's no secret that the Eagles need help at linebacker, and Arizona State linebacker Vontaze Burfict was a popular prospect for the Eagles until NFL Network draft guru Mike Mayock held his conference call on February 15.

Then, Mayock tipped the scale in favor of Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly with a few simple words, according to the Eagles official Twitter account.

"

Mike Mayock says Luke Kuechly is best inside LB in draft "by far." "He's a better athlete than people think." Compares him to Sean Lee.

He's been classified as a very heady linebacker, but if he's as good an athlete as Mayock says he is, the Eagles would be wise to get a little more scouting in on him.

Something tells me you don't win the Butkus Award on instincts alone, but the Eagles could sure use an athletic linebacker to cover tight ends.
