John Clay is Abraham's top RB in 2011

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

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.

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.

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, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 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

Tim Tebow has had a brilliant four year career at the University of Florida. During that timespan he has won two national championships, a Heisman Trophy, owns a slew of NCAA and SEC records, and has 34 wins in 40 games (one left) as the starting quarterback. He very well could be the best player in NCAA history.

"It's amazing to see everywhere we go, he's booed" said Kirk Herbstreit. "But you could not handpick a better person to be the face of this sport."

Part of what makes Tebow a great face for the sport of football is his commitment and priorities outside of the sport. Tim Tebow isn't your ordinary 22 year old superstar college quarterback. It has been widely reported in the past that Tebow spends a good portion of his summers on mission trips to the Philippines, working in orphanages and medical clinics. But even more surprising is that he continues to do this type of work during the semester, choosing to visit inmates at a Florida prison during his free time. His hope is that he can encourage these men by sharing the gospel message, that no matter who you are or what you've done, there is forgiveness, change, and freedom through faith in Jesus Christ. "How much more important in life is it to finish strong?" Tebow asked a group. "You may not have had a good first, second, or third quarter, but you can still finish strong in life."

"The unselfishness of his mission outside of college football is unparalleled" said Florida head coach Urban Meyer. "It's almost like selflessness is a cool thing, kids realizing to give back, and if you can brighten someone's day, you do it."

 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

Gators coach Urban Meyer first recruited Jevan Snead to come to Utah, and later had a commitment from Snead to join Meyer when he took the job at Florida. But Snead de-committed, and signed with his home-state school of Texas before transferring to Mississippi, where he blossomed last season into the SEC's best quarterback not named Tebow.

After speaking briefly in the lobby with Snead for the first time since recruiting him, Meyer nudged a Florida sports information official and said, “Wow, is that a good-looking sucker right there?”

That seems to be the growing consensus.

While Tebow has a Heisman Trophy and two national championships, Snead has the increasing respect of experts who believe he is a better NFL prospect than Tebow.
