Rhett Bomar is not a top 5 college draftable QB.

Absolutely he shouldn't be 2 spots ahead of Pat White.

Why do you say that? He was good in his one year at OK, and is a prototypical QB. If he was still at OK, we wouldn't know who Sam Bradford is. Who else do you have above him?

[JRTPlaya21]

I would put Pat White lower and I'm not that high on Scott McKillop. Plus rep on your effort though.

Thanks.

I am that high on McKillop, and I think he'll be great in a 3-4 (Ravens/Pats).

I don't like White, but I really don't like any of those other QBs. At best, I see him going in the 4th round and being another Antwaan Randle El.

[parrish_lemar24DBSkins]

I think Bradford would have beaten Bromar out, IMO.

Bromar always looked like a raw prospect to me at Oklahoma who never took that next step. Granted, getting kicked out of the program hurt his development, but I don't see him becoming a future starter in the league.

I agree this year's draft class is very thin at QB after the top 2 and it's nearly impossible to imagine most of them having memorable NFL careers.

McKillop was so underrated before that now he's overrated.

It's Bomar. I doubt Bradford would have beaten him out. Bomar was a top 5 player out of HS, had the whole package.

[parrish_lemar24DBSkins]

Didn't BOMAR finish up at Sam Houston State?

From what I've heard, he was okay, but didn't light it up there.

Also, if Bomar was so highly regarded, why didn't he sit a year and go play at a D1A school?

He's taken a strange route to the NFL, I just don't see him as a top prospect based on what he's accomplished on the field.

EDIT ( I take that back, just checked his stats from Sam Houston. HE should makes someone's team/practice squad).

[princefielder28]

Where would you rate Gerald McRath as a OLB?

bc he wanted to play football

Why do you think Barden is better than Robikskie?

[619]

Moreno and Jenkins shouldn't be atop their position rankings any longer, imho. The rest looks great, nice effort.

[JRTPlaya21]

Love the new sig & avi 619.

It's hard to top Sanchez's sexy face in my avy, but I may just have done that, lol. :)

[james.mcmurry]

Where would you rate Gerald McRath as a OLB?

I'd have him inbetween McKenzie and Follet, very close to McKenzie.

Why do you think Barden is better than Robikskie?

I like Barden's size and he just seems to have something that some other receivers don't have. Also, there is the opposite thing in my mind about Robiskie. I just don't see him as a good receiver. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go in the 4th or 5th round, while I can't see Barden going later than the third.

Moreno and Jenkins shouldn't be atop their position rankings any longer, imho. The rest looks great, nice effort.

IMO, Moreno, Wells, and McCoy are 1a, 1b, and 1c. They are so close that I can't call it, and I wouldn't be surprised no matter what order they go in. There is a strong case for each of them being the best.

As for Jenkins, I don't see anyone who is jumping up and down to take that position away from him, as Vontae Davis has had similar speed issues and I just am not convinced about either of the Smiths (although I think both will be first rounders). I think Jenkins is #1 at CB and FS, although he will go later than most people think (he may end up in Houston).
