In other words, who plays the game the best (not necessarily with respect to NFL projectability).

For me, its probably Tavon Austin or Barrett Jones.

Kevin Minter is up there too. Geno Smith, yes (though because he makes up for iffy lower body mechanics with accuracy and intelligence). By my own criteria I have to include Joeckel.

Good explanations.

My only thing with those guys is Austin is tiny (there are exceptions to the rule, Desean Jackson); and Jones had a lisfranc injury if I'm not mistaken, which are a bitch to come back from.

If Jones' spine wasn't an issue, I'd say toss-up between him and Jordan. But since it is, I have to go Jordan.
