I think Red Bryant and Dre Moore would be higher on the DT list

I think Red Bryant and Dre Moore would be higher on the DT list

I Think Fluellen is way underrated and Laws is a very good prospect. Sims and Balmer are the next tier below Ellis and Dorsey IMO.

But I can agree that you can throw both Moore and Bryant into the Fluellen, Laws mix they happen to be my favorites, not to say I think there is a big difference. But yes, I do think Balmer and Sims are a tier above Moore and Bryant

Brennan way to high move Henne into his spot and drop Brennan a few more

No way Schmitt is better than Hester, its just not close at all

Jackson is falling fast coming in at only 5'9, Doucet should be higher

Davis is no longer the top TE, and where is Kellen Davis?

Fluellen is way too high Moore, Bryant are above him

Curtis Lofton is the #2 ILB

Flowers should be around the #6 CB on that list everybody else should get a bump up

Thomas Decoud the #3 S?

Well, we will have to just agree to disagree cause thats how I see it.

Schmitt is the best, most versatile, FB in this draft. Hes on the rise and will end up being the first FB taken IMO.

Doucet is just not great at anything, I posted this before hearing Jackson height. I agree that he will slide cause its a far cry from the Cal posted 6' 0" but he still can at least be a Roscoe Parrish type. Thats a 2nd round grade and I still think that Doucets mediocrity will drop him below Jackson.

Flowers will be one of the top two CB's taken. Thats my take, remember I said it and we can see how right I am on draft day. To me hes the best in the class, Talib is next.

Fluellen will go higher than people think, as I said before, I can see Bryant and Moore in that mix, but I think Fluellen goes above them.

As far as TE's, Cottam, Finley, and Carlson will probably go below Davis, Rucker, and Bennett, will Kellen Davis go in that mix, he could. I just dont see him up there with the top 3.
