Top 2011 draft eligible DB's:
Spoiler [+]
There are no elite Eric Berry-type prospects expected to enter the 2011 draft class,but what we have is a deep, athletic group of players at both safetyand cornerback who have the skill sets needed to mature into talentedhigh draft picks by next April. Today, the National Football Post takesa look at the nation’s top underclassman DBs and breaks down theirgames going into the 2010 season.
Cornerbacks
APPeterson has the size and length to really disrupt the timing of receivers in the pass game.
Patrick Peterson, LSU (6-1, 211)
Possesses atall, well-built frame and has the length to really bother and disruptwide receivers off the line. Is a gifted athlete for his size with theinitial burst and balance to quickly change directions and click andclose on the football underneath. Is at his best when he can get hishands on receivers and use his length and physicality to make it toughfor them to fight their way out of their breaks. Showcases impressiveleaping ability down the field and looks natural when asked to turn andtrack the ball. Does a nice job using his big frame to box receiversaway from the ball and loves to attack the throw at the highest point.
Peterson, however, isn’t a real savvy cornerback at this stage. Hestruggles with his overall feel in zone coverage and is susceptible toany kind of double-move down the field. Although he can be physical offthe line, he lacks overall polish and consistently struggles to keephis feet under him, allowing himself to get too high and too jerky inhis back-pedal at this stage. Now, the physical and athletic skill setsare there for this guy to be as good as he wants to be. Nevertheless,there’s still a lot of room for improvement in his overall footwork andtechnique, which will ultimately determine how good a player he can beat the next level.
Brandon Harris, Miami (5-11, 195)
Displaysimpressive balance and footwork in his drop and does a great jobquickly locating the ball when asked to turn and run down the field.Gets up to speed instantly out of his breaks and might well end upbeing the best cornerback in the country in 2010.
Aaron Williams, Texas (6-1, 192)
A long,lean corner with good body control and flexibility when asked to changedirections and redirect. Possesses the type of natural explosion neededto go up and make plays on the throw and displays the ball skills toconsistently come down with the grab.
Janoris Jenkins, Florida (5-11, 186)
Heisn’t the biggest or fastest defensive back in the land, but I love theguy’s physicality off the line. He makes it tough for opposing wideoutsto create separation from him once he gets his hands on them.
Safeties
Barron is a physical tackler who loves to mix it up inside the box.
Mark Barron, Alabama (6-2, 210)
A physical,strapped-together strong safety who possesses an impressive blend ofsize and speed. Loves to attack downhill and generates a ton of forceas a tackler, snapping his hips on contact and really wrapping up andbring his legs through the ball carrier. Showcases good straight-linespeed and overall range in the secondary for his size and does a nicejob quickly locating the football. At 6-2, 210, he struggles to breakdown at times and will get leggy when trying to redirect, but he hasthe makings of a physical starting strong safety at the next levelbecause of his power, ball skills and instincts.
Tyler Sash, Iowa (6-1, 210)
A ballhawk inevery sense of the word. Is at his best when asked to play in the deephalf, key and diagnose and make plays sideline to sideline.Consistently is able to get good jumps on the football and possessesthe range and ball skills to routinely come down with the throw.Exhibits a sixth sense and always seem to be around the action in thepass game. Is a better lateral athlete than given credit for, whichallows him to cleanly change directions and get up to speed quickly.Lacks great straight-line speed, but because of his instincts andfluidity, he plays a bit faster than he times. Possesses a nice-sizedframe and breaks down well on contact, but isn’t a real physicalstriker. He’s more of a drag-down guy who doesn’t exhibit much pop atthe point. Still, he has the ability to create turnovers from the deephalf vs. the pass game and definitely has starting capabilities as astrong safety-type.
Rahim Moore, UCLA (6-1, 200)
A smart,engaging young man who has a real dedication to the game. Led thenation in interceptions last season with 10 and possesses the kind ofrange to make plays sideline to sideline vs. the pass game. Deciphersinformation quickly and seems to consistently get good jumps on theball. Has done a nice job the past two offseasons adding more girth andpower to his overall frame but is still more of a last-line defender atthis stage than a downhill guy. It will be interesting to see if hebecomes a more physical presence as a junior in 2010.

Is he or isn’t he a potential NFL starting quarterback prospect? I knowit’s still a ways off before we know the answer to that question aboutOhio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor, but ever since the end of the2010 draft, it’s one I keep getting from readers across the country.And much like Tim Tebow and the arguments that took place projectinghis game at the next level, Pryor seems to be generating similardebates as a future NFL prospect.
One train of thought is that if Vince Young can make it as astarting quarterback in the NFL, Pryor certainly should be able to.
The second is that Pryor simply doesn’t have what it takes mentallyto handle the demands of the position and should ultimately be moved towide receiver.
Up to this point, I have yet to choose sides. Pryor wasn’t eligiblefor the 2010 draft so there was really no need for me to evaluate hisgame. However, now that he’s three years removed from high school andcould be eligible for the 2011 draft if he chooses, I decided to take alook at three of his games – Oregon, Iowa and USC -- and offer my takebased on these performances. Here are my thoughts:
The breakdown
APWhen asked to make plays outside the pocket, Pryor is a consistent run/pass threat.
I came away a little more impressed with Pryor as a “thrower

Delashaun Dean has been suspended indefinitely by Mike Stoops for being arrested on gun charges over the weekend.
He apparently was showing other team members his piece at an iHop at 3 AM. Other restaurant patrons called the police on him.

People (on the boards) wanna compare him to Ponder coming out of HS, I've yet to see film on him, but Ponder was BALLING in HS. I think Coker runs a option/Wing-T offense @ some private school in 'Bama. And they are also pandering the pick-up, *****ing as usual b/c of his offer list. They wouldn't want the person who supposedly showed the coaches the most @ the camp last week
Also, funny thing about the commitment, rumor has it that Stephen Rivers (Phillip's little bro) was going to commit yesterday as well, but it looks like Coker got his in 1st,
Oh, an TJ Bryant on his way back home?
How exactly can you get a non-committable offer?? (not tryna be a smart-A or nothin, just curious)

non commitable offers are offers but are more like place holders. if player tries to commit on the spot he will be denied because teams are after higher prospects.
the player knows they have an offer but they also know its a wait and see game

We already have 2 committs at WR.... and Devaris Daniels supposedly committed yesterday but it's just a rumor and not official at this point.
So that's 3 WR which is the max we'll take this year because we're only taking like 18-20 kids this class.
But like last year I have a feeling we'll have some de-committs. so by NSD i still think there's a chance we'll get KB.

the Daniels family is furious with the person who wrote that article. said it was BS and Daniels has not committed. the writer said Daniels couldnt qualify at ND and the Family went ballistic.
IMO Once UGA offers Daniels, he'll end up there
Phillip Daniels will see to that

A&M dudes are hyped cuz Marcus Roberson called them his leader... A Florida dude with offers from Miami and Florida? YEAH RIGHT. I'll believe it when I see it...
Supposedly they're in very good shape for Shaun Ward, and they're in Brett Hundley's Top 3 as well... Aaron Wallace looks like a lock unless USC comes out with an offer
They better cross their fingers and hope with these out-of-state kids, because they're missing the boat in-state this year so far...
Why for +@*@@ sake did they not hire Tuberville?
God damn at least he'd have been able to really pump some talent through there...

Oklahoma, Texas A&M got offers to join SEC
Big 12, Oklahoma, Pac-10, SEC, Texas, Texas A&M, college football, expansion — posted by andrea adelson on June, 23 2010 6:05 PM
Oklahoma president David Boren confirmed what had been widely speculated: the Sooners and Texas A&M received invites to join the SEC during all the expansion hubbub.
But one team conspicuously missing from the invite list: Texas.
Texas A&M and Oklahoma received invites to the SEC.
According to The Associated Press:
Boren said the SEC extended offers only to Oklahoma and Texas A&M, both of which opted to stay in a slimmed-down Big 12 after Colorado left for the Pac-10 and Nebraska left for the Big Ten. Because the SEC offer didn’t include two of the Sooners’ key rivals, Oklahoma State and Texas, Boren said he didn’t consider it a good option.
“There was a time when A&M thought they were going to the SEC and they very much wanted us to go with them,

It's pretty damn stupid to turn down an SEC offer over a damn football rivalry. It's not like they couldn't have scheduled OU as an OOC game every year. FSU and UF do it.
SEC is a much better conference than the Big XII and moving to the SEC is about more than just football. All the other sports would have benefited too.
That's pretty stupid on OU's part.

i think the issue would have been that they would have faced the sec schedule, plus an ooc sched filled with one or two top 10 ranked opponents every year. we know how scary that is...
