83evans83 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Joe Thomas is the number one ranked prospect on The Scout's Inc's Board (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft07/index)... Do you agree with this??? If I was to rank my top 5 prospects coming out of college this year it would be... 1-Calvin Johnson 2- JaMarcus Russell 3-Adrian Peterson 4- Alan Branch 5- Joe Thomas What are your thoughts on this?

DrDawkinstein Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 good list but peterson isnt out yet, is he? edit: lol, my bad, he JUST declared a few hours ago, so whether you knew it or not youre right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis in NC Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Is it possible that 6'7 is too tall for an OT? Some years ago, the Bills had a UDFA named Mike Rockwood who was 6'8 and 340 or whatever. It seemed he was too tall to do the job well (also not very talented, of course, as a UDFA). And I would be very wary of picking an OL at #1. Consider the "can't miss" Robert Gallery and guys like that. Any thoughts on the "too tall" issue for OTs?

Dibs Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 And I would be very wary of picking an OL at #1. Consider the "can't miss" Robert Gallery and guys like that. Post 2000 seems to have been not so good for highly drafted OTs....Gallery #2, Williams #4, Davis #2. 2000 & back were extremely productive. Samuels #3, Turley #7, Pace #1, Ogden #4, Boselli #2, Roaf #8 It seems the only place one can find a HOF calibre OT is inside the top 8 of the draft.....or Jason Peters(fingers crossed).

KRT88 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Is it possible that 6'7 is too tall for an OT? Ya, I know - being 6-8 has really hurt Jonathan Ogden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 i don't think odds favour a LT coming out and being as good as peters. coupled with the busty bustness of these guys, i'd stay clear of a big fat body who is almost certain not to be able to start or play well his first season and who will cost a massive long term contract. i'd way rather grab a good solid G in FA or draft a 2nd rounder RT and move him inside -- much less risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I think Joe Thomas is #1. He is one heck of a LT prospect, Think Ogden or Pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Need overrides BPA but it sure would be strange to see Calvin Johnson go anywhere but #1. He's far and away the best prospect in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, If Flutie comes out of retirement to be the QB of your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
