any thoughts so far??

vidae · 02-25-2010, 10:21 PM

I think it's surprising that you have Dwyer over Spiller but other than that I don't see anything really out of place.

CC.SD · 02-25-2010, 10:25 PM

You might be onto something with Blount ranked above some of the more conventional picks. I still have Clausen over Bradford though, do not approve of this recent surge by mr. glass.

Don Vito · 02-25-2010, 10:56 PM

Snead at number 3 is interesting, talent wise it could work but I doubt he is near there right now. He could work himself up if he looks good in Indy and at his pro day, but his Cotton Bowl performance and poor final season have hurt him.

Duffman57 · 02-25-2010, 10:59 PM

I really like the blount rankings. I think he has one of the highest upsides in the draft. Most of his problems are very teachable.

steelcrew43 · 02-25-2010, 11:54 PM

As far as the Bradford ranking, I've had him higher than clausen all along- might just be that he's a winner

I figured i would get a lot of heat for Blount but he was my number one for preseason and his ceiling is incredibly high

I placed Dwyer above Spiller because i was going for a pure runningback - Spiller is much more dynamic and explosive but... id rather have a tough grind it out back than a hit or miss HR hitter

He had one injury this year and now hes mr. glass?

Clausen is hurt right now....and as far as im concerned i see Jimmy as Mrs. Glass.

Jevan Snead can't read a defense to save his life. He's ABYSMAL.

Tim Tebow can't be that low. I agree he isn't a top 2 QB, but to say he's below Daryl Clark is just insane.

Some of the other things are interesting, but not disagreeable.

steelcrew43 · 02-26-2010, 12:15 AM

i knew i was going to hear about the Clark over Tebow.. my thought is if they use him/them as a H-back/Wilcat type player then id put there value at a pretty equal level.. just dont think Tebow will flourish in any current NFL system as the starting QB.. I'd rather cut my rankings off at the 8th QB

steelcrew43 · 02-26-2010, 12:18 AM

and the Snead thing was definetly just a slight gut feeling/ceiling pick.

umphrey · 02-26-2010, 03:06 AM

Did you put Tebow at #10 just so he could be on the list and you wouldn't have to answer everyone asking how you could forget about Tebow?

steelcrew43 · 02-26-2010, 09:17 AM

anything on the D skills rankings? .. Also, I'm starting Jersey Transfers back up.. I have to put finishing touches on Mardy Gilyard to the Ravens ... Anyone have a suggestion/good quality picture

i agree on Clark, he doesn't belong in anyone's top 10 QB rankings. This is coming from a Penn State fan.

steelcrew43 · 02-26-2010, 09:36 AM

QB rankings edited .. I do like Clark's athletic ability hopefully he will get a shot like michael robinson .. and im an OSU fan your right he's not a pro qb

descendency · 02-26-2010, 11:42 AM

Brandon Graham not being listed as the #1 OLB is insane. But what is worse is having Carlos Dunlap listed as 34 OLB. He is 34 DE big. He'll be a 34 DE or 43 DE. Not a 34 OLB.

Derrick Morgan is a 43 DE only.

You need far more categories at LB and DL. Too many types of DL and LBs. ILB, OLB 43, OLB 34, DE are the minimum. Some of those positions are too hard to compare to group like that.

steelcrew43 · 02-26-2010, 11:46 AM

yeah it was hard to do the combined categories .. the slash could be simply replaced with the word "or"

ericzedwards · 02-26-2010, 12:37 PM

Some of these are very interesting but overall I don't see any that I could completely disagree with, other than I think Arrelious Benn should be ranked higher, even though I do think he has as good of a shot to never be an impact receiver as he does to be one.

killxswitch · 02-26-2010, 02:56 PM

Agree Blount is better than he's getting credit for right now. If no one takes him in the 1st 2 rounds he is this year's Shonn Greene.

Addict · 02-26-2010, 03:02 PM

Mount Cody as the #3 DT seems off to me. Too much of a headache.

keylime_5 · 02-26-2010, 03:11 PM

I'm not and never was high on Tebow as a pro prospect. After hearing him talk about how he'll do whatever it takes to succeed in the NFL at QB and how he's adament that he'll change his delivery and be a weight room/film room junkie, I find it hard to put anyone above him in my QB rankings other than Bradford and Clausen. He's a project, but those other guys (McCoy, Pike, Snead) are big projects too. And if QB doesn't work out for Timmy, then he could at least get a shot at FB or H-Back, which you can't say about any other QB this year.
