per Kiper:
Mafe just barely cracked my top 10 list at OLB in my most recent Big Board, but he could rise if he keeps up his production and performs like I think he will at the combine in March. Just look at former Penn State defender Odafe Oweh, who snuck into the end of Round 1 last year on the heels of an elite pro day workout. He already has three sacks for the Ravens. It just takes one team to fall in love with a prospect, and Mafe has the tools that make him a pass-rusher to watch.

Boye Mafe, DE/OLB, Minnesota
NFL teams crave edge rushers -- they can't find enough pass-rushers who create havoc and get after quarterbacks. That's Mafe, who has 9.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in his past 11 games dating to the start of last season. At 6-foot-3, 265 pounds, he can bend the corner and use his speed to get by offensive tackles. He also has some power moves.Mafe just barely cracked my top 10 list at OLB in my most recent Big Board, but he could rise if he keeps up his production and performs like I think he will at the combine in March.
