Skinsinparadise Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Didn't want to Start a new thread so I updated the list in a post on this thread, meaning this list below is outdated the new one is later on this thread 1. Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech (6-4, 225) | previous: Same He's not only a tremendous athlete, but he's a hard worker and very team oriented. Based on the needs of the Raiders and Lions, Johnson might not be the No. 1 overall pick, but he won't fall out of the top five. 2. Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin (6-6½, 313) | previous: Same Huge, quick and athletic with a long wingspan. 3. Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma (6-1½, 218) | previous: Same The most talented running back in the draft with an excellent burst to the outside for his size. The concern with Peterson is his durability. 4. Jarmacus Russell, QB, LSU (6-6, 260) | previous: Same Big, strong signal caller with a powerful arm, and his decision-making improved significantly in 2006. 5. Brady Quinn QB, Notre Dame (6-3½, 225) | previous: Same Poised, smart and at his best in pressure situations. Quinn did throw two interceptions in the Sugar Bowl after throwing just one INT in his previous eight games. 6. LaRon Landry, DB, LSU (6-1½, 205) | previous: Same Four-year starter who has proven to be Mr. Reliable throughout his career. 7. Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville (6-1½, 298) | previous: Same A four-year veteran, and he is only 19 years old. Okoye is quick and explosive and goes all-out on every play. He is not only good at eating up space but also gets good penetration into the backfield. 8. Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson (6-4½, 260) | previous: 9 Flashes dominating ability with his athleticism and quickness. Adams led the Tigers with 10½ sacks and 15½ tackles for loss. 9. Leon Hall, CB, Michigan (5-11, 193) | previous: 10 Tough customer who also shows very good anticipation and awareness in coverage. 10. Levi Brown, OT, Penn St. (6-4½, 325) | previous: 11 Steady and reliable at protecting the quarterback's blind side. 11. Dwaynne Jarrett, WR, USC (6-4, 210) | previous: 12 Has the size and natural receiving skills to create mismatches against smaller cornerbacks. Jarrett also has better quickness out of his break than people give him credit for. 12. Greg Olsen, Miami, TE (6-5, 254) | previous: 13 His performance at the combine should move Olsen up to the middle of the first round. Great hands and very athletic, Olsen reminds me of Baltimore Ravens tight end Todd Heap. 13. Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas (6-5, 270) | previous: 8 A gifted athlete who is coming off an exceptional 2006 season. Anderson is a complete player, equally solid against the run and as a pass rusher. 14. Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska (6-6, 298) | previous: Same You don't see many defensive ends carrying 300 pounds who can move as well as Carriker. 15. Marshawn Lynch, RB, California (5-11, 224) | previous: 16 Complete big back, right on the heels of Adrian Peterson when it comes to who will be the top RB in the draft. 16. Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee (6-4 ¼, 302) | previous: 21 Prior to going down with a season-ending injury (torn biceps), Harrell was performing at the level you would expect from a first-round draft pick. 17. Patrick Willis, LB, Mississippi (6-2, 235) | previous: 22 Tackling machine with great football sense. Willis lead the Rebels with 137 tackles (87 solo). 18. Ben Grubbs, OG, Auburn (6-3, 300) | previous: Same A versatile athlete who started his career at defensive tackle and then shifted to tight end. Grubbs brings a great deal of athletic ability to the interior of the offensive line. 19. Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU (6-2, 217) | previous: 15 Big and productive, Bowe runs excellent routes and has the toughness to catch the ball in traffic. 20. Steve Smith, WR, USC (5-11½, 198) | previous: 17 Sure-haneded and faster than advertised at the combine (4.44 40-yard dash). Smith is one of the best receivers at doing damage after the catch. 21. Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan (6-5½, 300) | previous: 25 He's a former tight end who has developed into a natural left tackle. Staley brings incredible footwork, athleticism and agility to the position. 22. Ted Ginn, WR, Ohio State (5-11, 175) | previous: 19 Takes a backseat to no one in the speed department, brings a big-play dimension to the wide receiver position and also the return game. 23. Ryan Kalil, C, USC (6-3, 285) | previous: Same Game improved dramatically thanks in part to facing great competition in practice. 24. Eric Weddle, DB, Utah (5-11¼, 205) | previous: Unranked Makes his debut on the Big Board after a standout senior season for the Utes. An incredibly intelligent player, Weddle has the versatility to play either cornerback or safety. 25. Lawrence Timmons, LB, Florida St. (6-2¼, 233) | previous: 20 Moves right to the top of a very subpar linebacking group, particularly from the senior class. Timmons' production and consistency from game to game are what jumps out at you. Dropped Alan Branch, DT, Michigan (6-5½, 328) | previous: 24 Huge and athletic, Branch is a true space eater along the interior. Once his technique improves, watch out!

Slacky McSlackAss Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 hes out of shape, slow and even i feel hell be a bust. i dont wanna see branch handed that skins jersey at all. id rather trade up for calvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Wow, I heard Branch was dropping... but not even in the top 25? That's surprising. I think this makes trading down our only option if CJ isnt there at 6. Carikker plus a second or third would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 16. Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee (6-4 ¼, 302) | previous: 21 Prior to going down with a season-ending injury (torn biceps), Harrell was performing at the level you would expect from a first-round draft pick. if no injury he would have been a top 10 pick, if the Skins trade down, a possible canidate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Kiper used to like Anderson over Adams now that has changed. He was one of the few NFL draft observors who orginally had Anderson first -- now pretty much almost across the board Adams is given the nod over Anderson.

fdarugar Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 For some odd reason I am starting to like Gaines alot more approaching the draft...he just seems to be a playmaker. However I really hope we roll the dice and trade down a couple notches...at #6 I would be most happy with Okoye or Adams but I think the best scenario for us would be a trade down.

ceviker Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 hes out of shape, slow and even i feel hell be a bust. i dont wanna see branch handed that skins jersey at all. id rather trade up for calvin. Yes please. I've been saying since day one that Branch is over-rated. He'll be lucky to have the production as courtney brown (yes, i know brown is a DE, I'm just saying he's going to be terrible). No one will even remember who Alan Branch is after 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck812 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 DL are moving all over the board. There is no telling where Branch or any of them will be come draft day. He could go to No 1 then to a good free agent pick up at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazhog Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Is our 1st round pick worth... 2 - second round picks 1 - third round pick 1 - fourth round pick ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Is our 1st round pick worth...2 - second round picks 1 - third round pick 1 - fourth round pick ????? There is no way we want to trade out of the 1st round IMO. I feel we need a guy who can come in and make a contribution in a roatation and ideally start on the D'Line THIS year or we are going to be looking at another year when we can not get pressure on the QB without th eblitz and have problems with the inside run. Only way we get an impact D'Lineman is picking in the first dozen or so picks. I'd be happy trading down to say around #10 and picking up Okoye, Carriker or Anderson. Having said all that if CJ falls to #6 I'd take him - he is the best player available at any position from all reports and would be fantastic value at that spot. I would NOT however trade up to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 For the Landry fans, Kiper has him rated as the top defensive player on the board actually as do most boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darc Requiem Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Is our 1st round pick worth...2 - second round picks 1 - third round pick 1 - fourth round pick ????? Our first round pick is worth at least a lower first round pick and a second. It depends on where we'd trading down to. Our first is worth a quite a lot on he points system. That said, it depends on how the draft on folds and who we trade with. If we trade down, I hope we can find a team as stupid as the Texans. I still can't believe how much the gave up for Schaub. Especially considering that he is less mobile than Carr and the fact that their O-line still stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Looking like the player most likely to drop down to #6 who could be trade bait is Peterson if the Browns trade up and take the Lions 2nd to draft Quinn -- that's the latest rumor I've read.
