The pro day tour continues on Thursday with seven more stops. Clemson and Nebraska figure to be the most attended as several players from those schools are expected to be drafted in the first few rounds. Here's a look at the biggest questions heading into the day.

Mar. 5 pro days include Arkansas-Monticello, Clemson, Illinois, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ole Miss and Utah State.

There wasn't a more inconsistent player in college football than Bo Wallace. There's no in between when it comes to the Ole Miss QB; he's either really good or really bad. He started the year playing the best football of his career. Ole Miss was even in the playoff hunt early on. However, he faltered down the stretch and Ole Miss was destroyed by TCU in the Peach Bowl. If there's any chance for Wallace to be drafted, he needs to be near perfect.

Despite leading all running backs in the vertical jump, broad jump, three cone drill and short shuttle, some evaluators are saying Ameer Abdullah hurt his stock at the Combine. Why? His 40-yard dash time was a 4.60. So he outperforms the other backs in four drills, yet is being criticized for being a tenth of a second too slow running in a straight line? That just doesn't make sense. With McCoy gone, Abdullah would be a great fit for the Eagles.

Stephone Anthony has gone from the clear-cut No. 4 ILB in this class to potentially the second ILB off the board in a matter of weeks. How does this happen? The Combine opened up some eyes and forced teams to go back to his tape. When watching Clemson, Vic Beasley immediately stands out. Even Grady Jarrett stood out more initially, but Anthony does all the little things that don't appear on a stat sheet. He could be an early Round 2 pick.

It's very clear that Randy Gregory will be an outside linebacker in the NFL. The Nebraska product is best suited for a 3-4 defense where he's able to rush the passer off the edge. He doesn't have a lot of experience, but his athletic ability and potential are why he'll be a top-10 pick. If he performs well in coverage and change of direction drills at his pro day, he could go as high as No. 3 to Jacksonville.

Like Randy Gregory, Vic Beasley will be transitioning from a college DE to an NFL OLB. Beasley may be the most explosive edge rusher in this draft, but like several of this year's top edge rushers, he needs to improve against the run. He outperformed just about everybody at the Combine, and will look to carry that momentum into his pro day. If he does, there's no reason why he shouldn't be a top-10 pick in the draft.
