Player Typing

A - Super Star Quality - Starter in first season. Player has rare athletic ability, position skills, size and production. Top competitor, who can impact a football game. Lottery Selection. (John Elway, Deion Sanders, Roy Williams).

D - Pro Bowl Player - First year regular. Must have the same size, speed, and near the athletic ability and skill requirements of an (A) or (B) player. Dominant Offensive linemen, fall into this category. In most systems (D) players have a greater value then (C) players and skilled players and pass rushers could eventually develop into an (A) performer at the professional level. Immature, Injured, players with personal problems, or playing out of position fall into this category (Randy Moss, Orlando Pace, Terrell Owens).

F - Overachiever - Has the necessary size for the position plus is a good or better competitor. A solid college player who may have been more consistent in college then many (D) players, but have shown a weakness in one of the following areas: 1) Quickness - Common with offensive linemen. 2) Athlete - Common with both offensive and defensive linemen. 3) Speed - Most common will skill players. Generally a back up type player, who is near or has reached his ultimate playing potential (Joe Andruzzi, Jerricho Cotchery).

G - Small Player - Does not have the required size for the position. Usually outstanding college players, who likely will not maintain the same level of efficiency and effectiveness as a professional. (Bob Sanders, Dexter Coakley, Eddie Drummond). 1) Special situation player 3) Special Teams player 2) Contributing back up 4) Third down or sub-package nickel back

I - Height, Weight, Speed player - Most contributing to good NFL players fall into this classification. Players final grade cannot be greater then his athletic grade. Players in this category must have the necessary size, play speed, and cannot be limited mentally. (Marcellus Wiley, Jimmy Smith, Laveranues Coles).

J - Undersized Prospect - An athlete who meets the necessary standards (athletic ability and play production) to develop into a (D) or (I) player, but currently lacks the bulk or physical maturity or body type to maintain the necessary weight. (J) players are most common among offensive, defensive linemen, and linebackers. Must have the frame to add and maintain the necessary weight (Fred Dean, Jason Taylor).

This can't be serious. Coakley was a serviceable starter for many years, and Sanders is arguably the NFL standard for strong safeties. Could they have picked worse examples?

Nevermind, I just noticed they mentioned Roy Williams in the same breath as Elway and Deion.

I have a problem with Russel at #2. It takes a long time to groom QBs, especially a raw talent like that. By the time they have reached their potential (if they ever do), it'll be time for a new contract. If I pick a QB that high in the draft, I only pick someone like Leinart who is polished, and ready to go.

Yeah, cause Leinart was polished and ready to go, and that Vince Young guy is just so raw, it'll take him several years to make an impact. :rolleyes:

I thought exactly the same thing for the examples when I saw Bob Sanders.

Even though I am a Michigan fan, I am a fan Pittman's running. He has great vision.
