1. Stafford
2. Curry
3. Jason Smith
4. Crabtree
5. Monroe
6. Raji
7. Jenkins
8. Orakpo
9. Maclin
10. Wells
11. Oher
12. Sanchez
13. Pettigrew
14. A. Smith
15. Vontae Davis
16. Brown
17. Maualuga
18. Harvin
19. Jackson
20. Cushing
21. Heyword-Bey

I'm too lazy to type up the rest.

I'd like to know why Brandon Pettigrew is so damn high on everyones list...I'd rather have Jared Cook personally.

Yea...I value a TE with receiving ability to stretch the seem over one who's best attribute is blocking with slow foot speed.

Mecca,

If Sanchez continues to slip in Wright's ratings do you think he constitutes a "reach" at the 3rd pick? For purposes of this question assume that by draft day Wright and Gosselin have Sanchez ranked as the #15 player.

THIS

Larry English is 27 on his list. I'm not thinking he falls to the 3rd or 4th round.

Mecca · 02-27-2009, 08:52 AM

I also think he has Oher to high for what he's shown so far, maybe that's just me.

Brandon Pettigrew=Daniel Graham

I think Wells and Orakpo should be lower than that and unless Jenkins improves his time he should be too.

Honest question. What games is it that Oher has shown his weaknesses? (Im not making a dig against you Im just curious because everyone has issues with him) I've seen 2 games this year and he looked pretty awesome in both.

They say Oher has mental lapses. If you watched the drills at the combine you could see that he was one of the few OT's who ran the wrong way in one of the drills.

Noone questions his talent, except for consistency. Although I guess his run-blocking could improve. A lot of people question his drive and how important football is for him. Has he been just playing for a check?

and especially his work ethic. He wasn't even motivated enough to read the book that was written about him.

Is Orakpo being rated (somewhat consistently) above Brown simply because of combine numbers? When I watch them play there is no comparison, Orakpo doesn't know what he's doing with his hands and just kind of powers through weak blocks. I wonder if the NFL thinks they can take a kid with great measurables and teach him pass rush moves.

Everette brown is "short" and he also isn't built like a bodybuilder.

Practically 6'2 and I thought height didn't matter nearly as much to olbs

He's not prototypical size...so of course it hurts him even though he has much better pass rush moves.
