If M. Crabtree is still available, do we The Raiders still have to pick him

 

[N41D]

Rick Gosselin's Top 100... The best Top 100 you're gonna find... Dude really does his homework, talking to NFL execs, scouts, college coaches, thewhole 9 yards...

1-10
6. Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU The University of Miami has had a first-round draft pick for 14 consecutive drafts, an NFL record. You'd have to go all the way back to 1994 to find the last time a Hurricane was not selected in the opening round. But that streak will end in 2009. Miami does not have a player projected to go in the first round, or even the first day. The top Miami prospect is cornerback Bruce Johnson, who projects as a late rounder. The new leader will be LSU. When defensive end Tyson Jackson is selected in the first round, that will extend the Tigers' streak of consecutive drafts with first-round picks to six.

7. Mark Sanchez	QB	Southern California
8. Eugene Monroe	OT	Virginia
9. B.J. Raji	DT	Boston College
10. Malcolm Jenkins	CB	Ohio State
11-20
16. Knowshon Moreno, HB, Georgia The NFL has a split opinion on the top two backs in this draft. Half the teams put Moreno as the No. 1 back on the board, the other half prefers Beanie Wells of Ohio State. The teams that like Wells love the home-run threat he brings to the table. He scored six career touchdowns on runs longer than 50 yards. The teams that like Moreno love the completeness of his game. He averaged 5.5 yards per career rush, caught 53 passes and will smack pass rushers in the mouth in pass protection. The one knock is his speed - 4.50 in the 40. Several NFL talent evaluators compare him to Emmitt Smith, who also had suspect speed.

18. Percy Harvin	WR	Florida
19. Beanie Wells	HB	Ohio State
20. Brian Cushing	OLB	Southern California
21-30
22. Brandon Pettigrew, TE, OSU With the spread offense now taking over the college game, the tight end position has vanished. Colleges no longer need blockers in these four-receiver, quick-set, quick-throw offenses. They need pass catchers. Those 6-4, 240-pound "tight ends" are now graduating to NFL draft boards. The three-down tight ends have become a rarity. There is only one on this draft board - Brandon Pettigrew - and that's driven his draft stock through the ceiling. NFL teams still ask their tight ends to block, and Pettigrew is the best on this draft board. He also caught 112 career passes.

29. Alex Mack	C	California
30. Donald Brown	HB	Connecticut
31-40
35. Louis Delmas, S, W. Michigan All you need to know about Louis Delmas is that NFL talent evaluators compare him to Bob Sanders. He's a cross between a free and strong safety. He's a ferocious hitter in run support that has the speed to cover slot receivers in the passing game, having also dabbled at cornerback at Western Michigan. Delmas is a four-year starter and a two-time captain who leaves the MAC with 310 career tackles and 12 interceptions. Don't look down on the MAC - the same school produced Greg Jennings and the same conference produced Ben Roethlisberger.

48. Sean Smith, CB, Utah Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald shared the NFL lead in touchdown receptions last season with 12 apiece. Randy Moss was one behind with 11. Johnson stands 6-5, Randy Moss 6-4 and Fitzgerald 6-3. Defenses need size to combat those giant wideouts on the flank. So there is always a premium on size on draft day - but Smith is the only corner in this draft that has any. He stands 6-3. There isn't another cornerback in the Top 30 at the position that even stands 6-1. Smith has been compared to Bobby Taylor, another 6-3 corner who played for the Eagles.

50. Andy Levitre	G	Oregon State
51-60
56. Pat White, QB, West Virginia The Miami Dolphins created an offensive monster last September when they had halfback Ronnie Brown take direct snaps in a game against New England. That gave birth to the "Wildcat" formation, which features a back who can both run and throw. Now NFL teams all envision Pat White as a Wildcat quarterback. He set an NCAA record for career rushing yards by a quarterback and also threw for 56 touchdowns. He's the ideal fit for the Wildcat. Look for Rice tight end James Casey and Kent State quarterback Julian Edelman also to be drafted by Wildcatters.

60. Jairus Byrd	CB	Oregon
61-70
61. Mohamed Massaquoi, WR, Ga. Attending an SEC school is money in the bank for NFL prospects. Since 1990, the SEC has led the nation with 702 draft picks. Since 1992, the SEC has had 99 first-round choices, an average of 6.2 per draft. Since 1997, the SEC has averaged 38 selections per draft. Georgia could have as many as seven selections in the 2009 draft. Quarterback Matt Stafford and halfback Knowshown Moreno project as first-round picks and wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi should know his new team by the end of the third round. The NFL has selected 246 Bulldogs in draft history.

76. Sebastian Vollmer, OT, Houston Every year the NFL invites the top college draft prospects, usually about 330 of them, to Indianapolis to attend its annual scouting combine. All 32 teams attend and each brings an entourage of talent evaluators, coaches, scouts, trainers and doctors. The prospects are poked and prodded to ensure they are mentally and physically ready to play in the NFL. Only about 265 of them get drafted - but not all the draftees draw invitations to the combine. Pro Bowl pass rusher Osi Umenyiora of the New York Giants was not invited to the combine his draft year. Neither was 2007 NFL receiving champion Wes Welker. Umenyiora became the highest drafted non-combine player this decade when the Giants took him with the 56th overall pick in the second round. The highest rated non-combine player in this draft is Houston OT Sebastian Vollmer.

79. Louis Murphy	WR	Florida
80. Rich Ohrnberger	G	Penn State
81-90
87. Mike Thomas, KR, Arizona Mike Thomas can thank Darren Sproles for his soaring draft stock. The San Diego Chargers franchised Sproles this off-season, proving that there is a place in the NFL for a 5-foot-6 playmaker. At 5-7, Thomas is the Pac 10's all-time leading receiver. But he has propelled himself into the top half of this draft with his kick return skills - just as Sproles did initially with the Chargers. Thomas averaged 23.5 yards on kickoff returns in his career and 13 yards on punts. "Without it, I wouldn't be in a position I'm in," he said. "It will be key for my success."

88. Jerraud Powers	CB	Auburn
89. Chip Vaughn	S	Wake Forest
90. Roy Miller	DT	Texas
91-100
94. Gerald McRath, OLB, So. Miss. The linebacking board is thin. After the five blue-chippers come tumbling off the board in the first round, there will be a bit of a drought over the next two rounds. But I've got eight linebackers in the fourth round, and I expect teams to start reaching for those backers late in the third. McRath, Jason Phillips, Tyrone McKenzie, Scott McKillop all could be beneficiaries. McRath isn't a reach, though. With a 4.49 clocking in the 40-yard dash, he's the fastest linebacker in this draft. You can never go wrong drafting speed on defense.

Apparently, they want dudes to be on that Brady Quinn suicide look. Why else would they invite Josh Freeman....he may be on the board until the 2nd round.

Depends on who else is still left. If he's available, chances are the top 2 LT's are gone.

We need a solid receiver, but that's not to say we cannot get one in the 2nd round. Crabtree has all the tools to be a great pro.

But the idea of J. Russell having time to throw may be too much, so I'm leaning towards Andre Smith if he's still there.

But I would not be disappointed at all taking the clear cut top WR prospect in Crabtree.

@ Stafford's contract.

WHAT? You're really kiddin like Jason .....Right? 10 ?!

Pioli will def take care of them though. 10 ?

 

[outacontrol music]

Browns

My top 5 wishlist

1. Aaron Curry
2. Tyson Jackson
3. BJ Raji (move Shaun Rogers to end)
4. Brian Orakpo
5. Malcom Jenkins



Browns HAVE TO address the defense this draft.


Heck use all the picks for defense.


In a division with PIT and BAL and bad weather DEFENSE WILL WIN GAMES.




PLEEEEEASE Mankok, get it right.

 

[sir rob a lot]

Im a 9er....I want a Playmaker in the first round this year. So either Crabtree or Maclin, and it will be a good day.

 

[trillipinotrapstar]

That contract is OD. 78 million.

It'll take Staff time to develop as a QB. Like Gunna said in the other thread, I don't him end up like David Carr in his rookie year with an extremelyinexperienced and unproven offensive line. If Stafford pans out well, a connection to CJ would be awesome to watch.

I'm going to watch how the Boldin situation goes...

And Knowshon is a complete playmaker for the Eagles at 21. Hope Philly takes him, but I can see the NFL teams before them try to reach for the UGA RB.

 

[smokey1212]

Damn, they really gotta get a rookie salary cap...78 mill is insane

Who's gonna trade into the top 10 this year??

is tyson jackson that good to be rising the way he is the past few days?

He's the best 3-4 DE in the draft

 

[bigmike23]

maybe is just me but i ant picking a 3-4 DE with a top 5 pick, hell top 10 would be a stretch

 

[the wizard]

1. i would never pick a 3-4 de in the top 5. EVER.

2. that top 100 list is crazy, no DJ in the top 100. i can see him not being top 50, but you can't tell me asher allen is better than him. %%*$ is crazy.

 

[kiddin like jason]

I'm saying.

He might be the best 3-4 end, but that doesn't mean he's good.
