Huge hit to the Beavers.  But I don't blame him.  After seeing his brother go down he was probably thinking he didn't want to get hurt coming back another year.

[table][tr][td]NFL Mock Draft - 1/10/2011[/td][/tr][tr][td]Round 1[/td][/tr][tr][td]1. Carolina Panthers[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU: Peterson is the best player in the country, and the new Collective Bargaining Agreement - whenever it is hammered out - will included a restructured rookie pay scale and won't restrict teams from taking a corner this high. If the value of stellar cornerback play was ever proven it was in the divisional round of the playoffs -- when the Ravens and Jets kept Dwayne Bowe (zero catches) and Reggie Wayne (one catch for one yard) silent.[/td][/tr][tr][td]2. Denver Broncos[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama: The Broncos haven't invested a first-round pick on a true defensive lineman since 1997 (Florida DE Jarvis Moss, drafted in 2007, was moved to OLB). Whether Denver remains in the 3-4 or switches to the 4-3, Dareus' bulk and strength make him a logical candidate to build a defense around.[/td][/tr][tr][td]3. Buffalo Bills[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn: Fairley might be the draft's most talented prospect. Teams are worried about the fact that he's only been a dominant player for one season. Still, for a team building a defensive line, Fairley's upside and versatility make sense.[/td][/tr][tr][td]4. Cincinnati Bengals[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]A.J. Green, WR, Georgia: With the T.O.-Ochocinco duo likely out the door, the Bengals will have to convince themselves they've seen enough development from Jerome Simpson to pass on Green. Certainly Cincinnati has bigger needs than wide receiver, but sometimes the best way to build a team is to simply take the best available player.[/td][/tr][tr][td]5. Arizona Cardinals[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina: The Cardinals would love to see an elite quarterback available here, but opinions are divided on the long-terms prospects of Ryan Mallett, Blaine Gabbert and Jake Locker. For the Cardinals' 3-4 scheme to gain some bite they need to improve their pass rush. Outside linebackers Joey Porter and Clark Haggans had five sacks apiece last year and both turn 34 next year. Quinn played defensive end for North Carolina, but possesses the agility to convert to outside linebacker. Don't let his yearlong suspension fool you, the Tar Heels loved him and are endorsing him to NFL teams.[/td][/tr][tr][td]6. Cleveland Browns[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson: Whether the Browns remain in the 3-4 or switch the 4-3 alignment that team president Mike Holmgren has preferred throughout his NFL career, drafting Bowers makes sense. The ACC Defensive Player of the Year isn't as explosive off the edge as his nation-leading 15.5 sacks would suggest, but he's an ascending player with terrific upside.[/td][/tr][tr][td]7. San Francisco 49ers[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri: With the singular exception of quarterback, the 49ers are the most talented team in the NFC West and have to strongly consider adding a veteran passer rather than waiting to fill the position through the draft. Should they wait, Gabbert's strong arm could unleash the big-play potential of Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree and Josh Morgan.[/td][/tr][tr][td]8. Tennessee Titans[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Cam Newton, QB, Auburn: Titans' owner Bud Adams might be able to have his cake and eat it too. In retaining head coach Jeff Fisher, he correctly chose the leader of his team. With the playmaking Newton still on the board, however, he can get a Vince Young clone.[/td][/tr][tr][td]9. Dallas Cowboys[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa: Excluding outside linebackers DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer (college defensive ends) the Cowboys spent one first-round pick this decade on the big men up front (DE Marcus Spears, 2005). Dallas could use a highly rated offensive tackle here, but with no OT worthy of this pick, they shift to the defensive side of the ball or trade down. Clayborn's production dropped this season, but not his value in the eyes of scouts, who view him as the top senior defensive lineman (and among the safer prospects) in the draft.[/td][/tr][tr][td]10. Washington ********[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas

Mike Shanahan needs to find a new quarterback if the ******** are going to win games -- and Shanahan is to keep his job. Not every team is convinced Mallett has the leadership to be successful in the pros, but there is no denying his talented right arm.[/td][/tr][/table]

[table][tr][td]15. Miami Dolphins[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][td]Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama: Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are free agents, and Williams has already said he wants to move on to a contender. Ingram, the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner, would give the Dolphins a reliable lead back to build around.[/td][/tr][/table]

they better not. all i gotta say.
he was barely the best RB on his team this year. come on now.

Your logic makes no sense and Trent is that good. So what were you saying when Ronnie and Caddy came out?

Just because he plays with another great player at the same position doesn't change anything about Mark. Look at the skills.

Cam Newton on the Titans?  

Nothing says "were moving on from VY" better than taking a VY-type player.

Mikel Leshoure has declared....

I was reading on ESPN that with a good 40 time he can go as high as the 2nd round. I got my opinions, and so do yall...that being said, we all know that Mark Ingram is the only clear-cut 1st rounder out of this RB class...if you had to rank a top 5 (out of the RBs who've decared so far), where would you put them and what round do you see them being drafted in?
