[RealityCheck]

Dunlap and Austin are staying.
Good job whtasoever.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Not enough Montario Hardesty. :p

[DaBrowns41]

Great. Thanks for the info. I'll make sure that's in the next edit.

[DaBrowns41]

Not enough Montario Hardesty. :p


I like Hardesty, I'm just not sure if his lack of production will get him drafted in the first 3-4 rounds. I think he's a pretty good back, however, and I could easily see him slip into the top 100.

These are very early, obviously. But I wanted to get a list put together for some names for all you Mock Drafters. :D

[BaLLiN]

Dowling and the NC DL and LB are staying also

[DaBrowns41]

Dowling and the NC DL and LB are staying also

Carter or Sturdivant?

[CashmoneyDrew]

Both are staying.

[RealityCheck]

Everybody in UNC is staying.

[BaLLiN]

Carter or Sturdivant?

Yeah what voodoomonkey said^^^

[Sniper]

Dunlap at 11? Seriously?

[RealityCheck]

Iowa DE Clayborn is staying too.

[DaBrowns41]

Dunlap at 11? Seriously?

Dunlap is a very, very good player. He'll be able to step into a 34 or 43 defense and make an immediate impact.

[Sniper]

Dunlap is a very, very good player. He'll be able to step into a 34 or 43 defense and make an immediate impact.

By "very, very good player", do you mean one-dimensional player who's not even that good at his one dimension and gets all of his sacks when he gets in unblocked or because of the great secondary's coverage?

He's an absolutely atrocious run defender with no discipline, doesn't understand leverage, and has zero football IQ. There were six or seven Big 10 DEs this year that are better football players than Dunlap.

[DaBrowns41]

By "very, very good player", do you mean one-dimensional player who's not even that good at his one dimension and gets all of his sacks when he gets in unblocked or because of the great secondary's coverage?

So you're just opposed to taking any player that's on a great defense?

Should Rolando McClain not be a top 10 player because of all the talent around him, and because of Dareus, Washington, Cody and Deaderick all playing in front of him?

Should you not take Haden because Florida's front 7 is one of the best in the nation, or are they just great because of Haden, Wright, and Co.?

He's a great lateral player, gets a good push at the defensive end position, and is versatile. He's pretty athletic for being 290 pounds as well. He's a very talented player, and most draft scouts would agree.

[Unbiased]

Dunlap is a very, very good player. He'll be able to step into a 34 or 43 defense and make an immediate impact.

What's he gonna be in a 3-4 defense? Too weak to play end and too big to be effective in space.

[DaBrowns41]

What's he gonna be in a 3-4 defense? Too weak to play end and too big to be effective in space.

He will build strength in an NFL strength and conditioning system, and he actually plays well in space. And it doesn't make sense to be "too big", considering 34 DE's are usually around 6'5-6'6 290-310 pounds.

[RealityCheck]

I really don't see Dunlap playing 3-4 DE.

[Sniper]

So you're just opposed to taking any player that's on a great defense?

Not at all. Dunlap's just not good.

Should Rolando McClain not be a top 10 player because of all the talent around him, and because of Dareus, Washington, Cody and Deaderick all playing in front of him?

Should you not take Haden because Florida's front 7 is one of the best in the nation, or are they just great because of Haden, Wright, and Co.?

When I watch 'Bama/Florida play, McClain and Haden stand out (Haden less, obviously, because he's a corner). Dunlap is just another guy on the field. ON UF's D, guys like Brandon Spikes, Joe Haden, Major Wright, Will Hill, Ahmad Black and Jermaine Cunningham all stand out significantly more.

He's a great lateral player, gets a good push at the defensive end position, and is versatile. He's pretty athletic for being 290 pounds as well. He's a very talented player, and most draft scouts would agree.

He's a liability against the run and is very inconsistent. A sure-fire bust. Look at his production this year. Dunlap benefited from an amazing secondary, not the other way around.

Anywhoo, since neither of us will convince the other of our viewpoint, could you explain for having Brandon Graham so low?

"To play in space" in a 3-4 defense = 3-4 OLB.

[DaBrowns41]

Anywhoo, since neither of us will convince the other of our viewpoint, could you explain for having Brandon Graham so low?

I like Graham a lot. He looks just like Woodley, who is having a very successful start to his career in Pittsburgh.

He'll most likely move up in my list, but looking at all the talent in the first round of this draft, it's not hard to see why he's so low.

I think when all is said and done, he'll be around 17-20 on my final big board, but as of right now, I'm a big higher on some of those guys, like Pierre-Paul, Hughes, and Morgan.

[DaBrowns41]

I meant he's too big to play OLB.

There's no way he can play 3-4 end. He's way too weak and soft for the position.

They said the same thing about Calais Campbell, and he has started all season at 34 DE for the Cards and registered 7 sacks this year.

[RaiderNation]

By the time of the draft Anthony Davis will be in the top 10

[Babylon]

Owen Marecic with his 8 carries for 15 yds over Toby Gerhart. Is that a typo or just the most rediculous thing i've ever seen?

I didn't say that about Campbell.

Your basis of comparison between a running back and a full back is carries and yards? Seriously?

[Babylon]

Marecic is a decent blocking fullback, that's about it. I was so stunned by the prediction of the guy that made the thread, i wasnt thinking anyone would actually agree with him.

[iowatreat54]

Adrian Clayborn is staying so you should prolly take him off your list.

[DaBrowns41]

By the time of the draft Anthony Davis will be in the top 10

I agree. I think Davis will end up being the 2nd OT off next to Okung. Williams will slide.

[DaBrowns41]

Owen Marecic with his 8 carries for 15 yds over Toby Gerhart. Is that a typo or just the most rediculous thing i've ever seen?

Gerhart is a straight N/S runner. He's not a guy that can be on the field in 3rd downs because he's not a good receiver out of the backfield and his pass blocking is mediocre.

He's not going to outrun people at the next level, despite breaking off some nice runs against some of those Pac-10 defenses.

He also runs too tall for my liking as well.

In a game where speedy RB's dominate, there's just little room for him to be a #1 back. He'd be a great goal line, short yardage guy, but those guys don't get drafted in the first 2-3 rounds.

[DaBrowns41]

FYI, Carlos Dunlap said that he was going to enter the NFL Draft.

[iowatreat54]

FYI, Carlos Dunlap said that he was going to enter the NFL Draft.

fyi, Adrian Clayborn is still not entering the draft.

[DaBrowns41]

fyi, Adrian Clayborn is still not entering the draft.

You said that already....

[iowatreat54]

You said that already....

Yet you still have him ranked in the top 100 draft prospects. Doesn't really make sense now does it...

[DaBrowns41]

Yet you still have him ranked in the top 100 draft prospects. Doesn't really make sense now does it...

I thought it was quite obvious that I had not edited it yet.

I'm waiting until the 15th, when everything is final, before I go through all the changes.

Hopefully that's ok with you, sir.

[DaBrowns41]

Not to mention, it's not final. Just because he said it live after they won the Orange Bowl doesn't make it official.

Unless I see a link or so, I'm not going to be editing anything, especially considering X amount of people told me Dunlap was definitely staying, and he obviously wasn't.
