NCAA's Top Quarterback Prospects Heading Into 2010.
1. Ryan Mallett Jr, Arkansas, 6'6 240
2. Jake Locker Jr, Washington, 6'3 226
3. Andrew Luck, (R) So, Stanford, 6'4 235

John Clay is Abraham's top RB in 2011
1. Terrelle
Pryor, QB, JR, Ohio St, 6'6 235
Pryor has tremendous athleticism for his size. If
he can improve his passing skills and patience, the NFL may be calling.
2. D'Quan Bowers, DE, JR, Clemons, 6'5 275
Bowers is a athletically gifted for his size. A complete defensive end
who can get to the quarterback and hold up inrun support.
3. John Clay, RB, JR, Wisconsin, 6'1 248
Clay reminds me of Jerome Bettis when he's 'on.' He had over
1,500 yards rushing last season and proved to be a dependable workhorse
running back;
conditioning does seem to wane late in games.
4. Noel Devine,
RB, SR, West Virginia, 5'7 175
Noel is extremely fun to watch. Video game like
quickness and can score from anywhere on the field.

Ryan Mallett is already poised to be top QB in 2011
1. Ryan Mallett, QB, JR, Arkansas, 6'6 240
An incredibly strong armed quarterback with great
command. He has a natural ability to sense the backside rush, step into the pocket, and make the tough
throw; Mallett will have the chance to build on his record setting 2009
season.
2. D' Quan Bowers, DE, JR, Clemson, 6'5 275
Bowers is athletically gifted for his size. A
complete defensive end who can get to the quarterback and hold up in run support.
3. Jake Locker,
QB, SR, Washington, 6'3 225
May have been the top pick in the 2010 class. He
grades out very high in most categories and should only get better this year, A very impressive
quarterback.
4. Patrick Peterson, CB, JR, LSU, 6'1 212
Peterson has great feet and hips for his size. He
would've been my top corner in this draft class, I didn't see Peterson get beat over the top against any
receiver in the SEC conference.
5. Gabe Carimi, OT, SR, Wisconsin, 6'7 325
Carimi is another 'technique sound' offensive
lineman from the Big
Ten conference. He reminds me alot of former teammate and first round pick Joe Thoma.

By rule, it takes a minimum of three seasons before you can fully evaluate a draft class, these grades are based on prospect projections and team needs prior to the draft.
ARIZONA
1st-Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee (26)
2nd-Daryl Washington, LB, TCU (47)
3rd-Andre Roberts, WR, Citadel (88)
4th-O' Brien Schofield, DE/OLB, (130)
5th-John Skelton, QB, Fordham (153)
6th-Jorrick Calvin, DB, Troy (201)
7th-Jim Dray, TE, Stanford (233)
Synopsis: The Cardinals biggest need coming in was improving the pass rush. The addition of Dan Williams inside elavates Darnell Docket's ability. O' Brien Schofield shows adequate pass rushing skills, but is rehabing a torn ACL. Daryl Washington will be expected to replace Karlos Dansby. The Cardinals addressed both sides of the ball.
Best value: John Skelton. Skelton will need to improve his accuracy and throwing angles, but has big time upside and all the intagibles to be a franchise quarterback.
Biggest Risk: O' Brien Schofield. Schofield is fresh off of an ACL tear and will need some time to adjust to the speed of the game, the Cardinals could've solidified a pass rush here without the injury risk.
Draft Grade: B

LeGarrette Blount won't be the first running back selected in this
week's NFL draft. But few players in the 2010 draft are more intriguing
than the former Oregon standout.
A postgame meltdown in the 2009 season opener at Boise State — Blount
punched a Broncos player after the Ducks' 19-8 loss Sept. 3 — seemingly
has been replayed more times than "The Wizard of Oz."That lapse of judgment not only derailed Blount's
senior season, but put his potential NFL career in jeopardy. Character
issues likely have cost him a lucrative signing bonus.
"He was a first- or second-rounder before," said John Clayton, an NFL
analyst for ESPN.But
Blount has helped himself since the incident. Despite receiving a
season-long suspension, Blount stayed in school and practiced with the
scout team. He was reinstated late in the season by coach Chip Kelly and
played in the Civil War and Rose Bowl.

Update, Thursday, April 15, 2010.
1. St. Louis-
Ndamakung Suh, DT, Nebraska
It’s a coin flip
between either Suh or Sam Bradford here. I’m going with Suh. This pick
immediately upgrades the production of Chris Long and Adam Carriker,
while vastly improving the complete defensive unit.
Alternate: Sam Bradford
2. Detroit-
Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
The Lions are
severely lacking playmakers along the front four; McCoy gives them a
cornerstone tackle that can get to the quarterback.
Alternate: Russell Okung
3. Tampa Bay- Eric Berry, FS/CB, Tennesse
My favorite player
in this draft class, Eric Berry gives Raheem Morris a playmaker who can
do it all from the safety position- cover the deep zones, play inside,
and handle the slot receiver; Should be a great football player.
Alternate: Gerald McCoy
4. Washington-
Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma
St.
The Redskins need
to insure protection for newly acquired Donovan McNabb. Okung Is the
most complete lineman in a very solid tackle class.
Alternate: Trent Williams
5. Kansas City-
Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Matt Cassel had a
rough time staying upright last season. Trent Williams is an extremely
athletic lineman who is technique sound. This pick enables Branden
Albert to move back inside.
Alternate: Rolondo McClain

Sam Bradford,
Oklahoma, 6’4
223
Athletic
Ability:
Bradford shows good
athleticism for the quarterback position, showing the mobility to release from
the pocket, throw fluidly on the run, and extend the play with his feet when
necessary. While Bradford won’t be a threat
to gain big yardage while running, he is very capable of extending a drive with
his legs for short yardage. 6.5
Competitiveness/Leadership:
Sam shows a calm
but focused temperament on the field. He will rally teammates in certain
situations and often huddles with the offense in-between series’. Bradford is not extremely
vocal or visibly frustrated when the game doesn’t take shape, but shows good
command and shows confidence in his overall playing demeanor. Teammates speak
highly of Bradford. A lead by example
type, who responds to the flow of the game, and showed the ability to make
clutch throws with regularity. 7.5
Mental
Awareness/Acumen:
A strong area of
his game, Bradford shows a good
understanding of coverage; both pre-snap and once movement occurs. Sam goes
through his progressions, knowing where his primary, 2nd,
3rd, 4th, and outlet receivers are; going through his
looks according to coverage- quickly. A sound and decisive decision maker,
Bradford won’t waste time getting rid of the football with a clean pocket. He
keeps his eyes downfield even with pressure closing in, but needs to improve his
feel for pressure and when to release the ball under duress. Sam wasn’t
pressured much at Oklahoma, and when
pressured, he wasn’t always efficient with his timing. Pocket instincts could
improve. Overall, Bradford’s understanding of
coverage- zone drops, blitz calls, delays, and safety responsibilities are top
notch. Sam is a very intelligent player, who processes information quickly.
8.0

One thing Tim Tebow has never backed down from is a challenge. The Florida Gators quarterback has decided to play in the Under Armour Senior Bowl the last week of January in Mobile, Ala., according to sources.
Tebow will play quarterback for the South team, which will be coached by the Miami Dolphins' staff.
The Senior Bowl is closely scrutinized by personnel directors and
coaches from all 32 NFL teams. Tebow has received a wide range of
conflicting evaluations for his potential as an NFL quarterback. Even
though many personnel men have told ESPN he will struggle in the league
if he plays quarterback, at least a half-dozen general managers or
coaches say he not only will be successful as a pro quarterback, but
also likely to be chosen in the first round.
Two NFL sources, a coach and a GM, said Tebow's performance in the
Allstate Sugar Bowl was another strong endorsement in his favor. In
that game, Tebow completed 31 of 35 passes for 482 yards and three
touchdowns to lead the Gators against Cincinnati to cap a career that included a Heisman Trophy and two national titles.

Mississippi quarterback Jevan Snead is going pro, skipping his
senior season to enter the NFL draft after leading the Rebels to their
best back-to-back seasons in nearly four decades.
Snead, considered a top prospect, made the announcement Thursday in a news release issued by the university.
"The
fans, coaches and my teammates at Ole Miss have been unbelievable, and
I want to thank them for an incredible experience," Snead said. "In the
end, I had to do what is best for me and my family. Having finished my
degree, I look forward to the challenge and hard work that comes with
pursuing my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL."
Neither Snead nor Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt were available for comment.
The
Stephenville, Texas, native was a top high school prospect and was
hailed as something of a savior when he transferred from Texas three
seasons ago. He largely delivered.
His decision comes after
leading the Rebels (9-4) to a 21-7 win over Oklahoma State for Ole
Miss' second straight Cotton Bowl victory. The win marked the first
time the Rebels had back-to-back nine-win seasons since the 1961-62
seasons and consecutive January bowl wins since 1960-61.
