[X-Era]

So, to me:

Ringers to low
LaFell is too high
Harvin is too low
Pettigrew is #1, Coffman or Cook are interchangeable, Casey is #4
Britton is too low
Still think Caldwell is above Shipley
Brown and Jackson should be swapped
Barwin is below Maybin
Marks is the top DT, Hood is probably 3 or 4

Barwin is below Maybin
Marks is the top DT, Hood is probably 3 or 4


-Ringer is not a game breaking RB, all of the 5 ahead of him are, his production this year was awesome, but I don't see his game being as valuable to NFL scouts as Coffee's, Greene's, Wells's, Moreno's, or McCoy's.

-You would put LaFell behind Nicks, and Iglesias?

-Harvin is small, not a pure WR, a hybrid player, and often injured, I can't put him any higher over pure WR's

-Pettigrew had 0 TD catches this year in a pass happy offense, and has off the field issues, I see nothing he does better than Coffman, and I like Coffman's readiness better.

-Britton should of stayed in school, at the highest Id put him 7, but he's not on the same level as the 6 above that.

-Shipley is the 2nd best overall OC in the draft, Caldwell is similar to Mack where he excels in the Run blocking but needs works in Pass Blocking. Shipley does both exceptionally well.

-Jackson is the most polished DE in the draft and is the most NFL ready. I can't put Johnson or Brown ahead of him considering how raw both still are.

-Maybin made a huge mistake leaving early, he is the lightest DE going into the combine, has the least amount of experience and played in a bad pass protection conference. He needs to show a ton to scouts and to me, to warrant why he left early.

-Marks did nothing to distinguish himself like Raji and Jerry did for their teams respectively. Both of those guys took over games at times, Marks did not. He must shake his 'lazy' label at the combine by showing up at a good weight with a low fat %.

[DraftBoy]

Rankings adjusted for withdrawal of WR Brandon LaFell*, LSU from 09 NFL Draft. Added was WR Chris Williams, New Mexico State, also noticed that WR DJ Boldin, Wake Forest, was listed twice that was corrected and WR Jeremy Gilchrist, Hampton was added to the list.

[DraftBoy]

Removed WR Mardy Gilyard, Cincinnati due to a misread on his class status, added WR Andy Brodell, Iowa.

[yordad]

Where do you project Tyson Jackson in the draft?

[DraftBoy]

Late 1st round, early 2nd. The problem for us is that he is a better suited 3-4 DE rather than a 4-3 DE.

[PECKERWOOD]

Jackson is probably too high.

Harrell and Bomar goto white castle.

I like that you have Coffman as the #1 TE, I agree.

McRath will be an OLB not ILB.

Sean Smith will be a SS not a CB but still a very intriguing prospect, nevertheless.

-I disagree on Jackson and posted why above

-There is little doubt in my mind that Coffman is #1, I dont have it close either

-I think so too but he's versatile enough to play either and was perdominantly a ILB at Southern Miss

-I dont think thats going to happen actually. I think he sticks at CB.

[Turbo.GUN.Hawk!]

So Sam Bradford is going to stay in college?

It would be nice if you specify whether or not this draft is strong or weak in every position. For example, I'm really interested in knowing how good this draft is talking about DT.

[Ingtar33]

there is 1 very good DT in this draft... and 3 or 4 maybes.

Yes he is.

Strong Areas:
WR, CB, OL, 4-3 DE, 3-4 OLB, CB, ILB, TE, FS, SS, K, RS

Weak Areas:
3-4 DE, RB, QB, P, OLB

DT is kind iffy, some good talent up top, some decent guys mid way and late but nobody overly special and its not a stacked class like next years.

[DraftBoy]

there is 1 very good DT in this draft... and 3 or 4 maybes.

Raji-Good

Jerry, Brace, Hood-Maybes ??

Id be interested to here your thoughts on all the rankings as a whole.

[Raptor]

-I like Davis better than Freeman but I understand the ranking
-McCoy is better than Coffee
-If your just picking a WR I'd say Britt is better than Maclin but Maclin on returns cant be ignored
-Agree with the TE's
-I dont understand why they ranked Unger as a T? He hasnt played that position in 2 years and is the best Center in this draft
-Levitre is the best guard in the draft and I wouldnt go near Duke Robinson. He was playing so bad in the title game they actually pulled him for a couple series. He's one of the more overrated players in the draft
-I think Michael Johson should be moved down. Looks like tarzan plays like jane
-OLB Jason Williams plays at Western Illinois not Carolina and should be way farther up on that list
-Sean Smith future in the NFL is at S not CB

[PECKERWOOD]

Raji-Good

Jerry, Brace, Hood-Maybes ??

Id be interested to here your thoughts on all the rankings as a whole.

Whatever happened to Marks? I actually think he would solidify our rotation and Raji playing next to Stroud would be unbelievable.

[psubills62]

Why is Kory Sheets so low?

Gano isn't on your list of kickers? He was pretty accurate in college, even from long-distance.

Overall, pretty good. Love that you have Shipley as the #3 center....people seem to overlook him sometimes.

Same issue with Sims last year, lazy, and lack of effort.

18 isnt that low with the RB's ahead of him. I dont see Sheets as ane every down back in the NFL so he can't be ranked much higher imo.

Gano will be on the final list he was an omission on my part.

I think Shipley is one of the best OC's in the class. People who underestimate him are going to pay for it.

[TigerJ]

I noticed Tony Fiametta is both your fifth ranked and sixteenth ranked fullback, DB. You might want to fix that one.

[FlyingDutchman]

-I think you have Nate Davis too low. Especially after his last 2 games. Hes been a great player for most of the year, but extremely turnover prone. The games he did well this year were against joke denfenses (maybe not N. Illinois) but for the most part his numbers were put up in a glorified junior college teams. I think Cantwell should be a little higher. Ill be honest, Im not sold on him, but some NFL scouts seem to be. I didnt like his lack of mobility this year, although he was hampered by injuries, but I just feel he is too slow for the NFL. However, everything im hearing is that scouts like his size and arm.

-I dont think Pat White makes an NFL team as a QB

-I agree with your thoughts on Ringer, but I think youre crazy for not having Donald Brown in your top 5

-I see youre still sticking to Unger as a tackle. I disagree. We'll have to wait and see

[DraftBoy]

Good find, Ill edit this evening.

-Im confused did you mean to say you think Davis is too high?

-I agree but he is adamant about not switching so I won't rank him as a WR yet.

-Donald Brown isnt a top 5 RB, all the Jrs are better.

-Unger may start his career at OC but I feel a move to OT is inevitable. His skill set allows him to play better there and the money is at the OT spot not the OC.

18 isnt that low with the RB's ahead of him. I dont see Sheets as ane every down back in the NFL so he can't be ranked much higher imo.

Gano will be on the final list he was an omission on my part.

I think Shipley is one of the best OC's in the class. People who underestimate him are going to pay for it.

What round do you think Shipley will go in? I'd love to sign a veteran (like Birk or Brown) and pick him up later to develop him.

late 4th-early 5th

Wood emerging at the Senior Bowl knocks him down some. I still like him a lot though, I think we could land him in the 5th and he could be a steal.

Yeah, I liked the look of Wood, but if the Bills wanted to address other positions earlier, I'd love to get Shipley late. I'm hoping he slips to the 5th, but if I were the Bills, I'd probably grab him in the 4th just in case.

I actually think that Rhett Bomar could be a steal in the 4th-5th round. Wasn't he supposed to play for Oklahoma but got cut because he accepted a bribe or something of that nature? He is clearly talented and he has made a name for himself once again at Sam Houston State. That's one QB that I wouldn't mind the Bills drafting.

-Im confused did you mean to say you think Davis is too high?

yeah meant davis is too high and cantwell too low. tellin ya, Brown is gonna surpirse you.

[FlyingDutchman]

Still think Brown is the 9th ranked RB? Kiper has him 3rd and ive seen a few drafts where hes gone in late first to 2nd round

[SABURZFAN]

Are you making it a week or 2 before the draft so we have time to look at it this time.

It will be done before the draft thats all Im willing to say about it at this point. Maybe a week before, maybe a day before.

Draftboy

somewhat off the topic, but were you and co. going to be putting out another draft guide? Last year's was pretty darn good stuff

[FlyingDutchman]

Donald Brown will be the 3rd RB taken, callin it

[FlyingDutchman]

and i have a feeling, he'll be a steal in this draft

[FlyingDutchman]

well, Brown was the 2nd RB taken

[DraftBoy]

Yes he was and he was taken by the best team for his abilities.
