Draft Mock Top Five Picks - 1/16/07

[Sandan]

You may be right but I wouldn't be surprised to see it. They will be roasted by the media and fans if the line is weakened by letting LD go and the rookie is not ready.

They will be roasted no matter what they do

 

[Matt L]

Marshawn Lynch will have a better career than Adrian Peterson. Write it down!

 

[Duckjake]

They will be roasted no matter what they do

Having a winning season once in awhile would stop that. For a time. Then people would start to complain again if they didn't go far enough in the playoffs.

The only thing that works is a SuperBowl win and that gets you about a 25-30 year grace period. Even a SuperBowl appearance will get the fans off your back for several years.

Kiper's New Board with underclassman has the following top ten:

1. Calvin Johnson WR
2. Joe Thomas OT
3. Brady Quinn QB
4. JaMarcus Russell QB
5. Jamal Anderson DE
6. Adrian Peterson RB
7. Alan Branch DT
8. Marshall Lynch RB
9. Gaines Adam DE
10. Leon Hall CB

Where is Ginn? I am pissed.

:cough: Kiper's new Big Board :cough:

*1. Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech (6-4, 225) | previous: Same
He's not only a tremendous athlete, but he's also a hard worker and very team oriented.

2. Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin (6-6½, 313) | previous: Same
Huge, quick and athletic with a long wingspan.

3. 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 Sugar Bowl after throwing just one INT in his previous eight games.

*4. JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU (6-6, 260) | previous: same
Big, strong signal caller with a powerful arm. Decision-making improved significantly this season.

*5. Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma (6-1½, 218) | previous: 6
Talented RB with an excellent burst to the outside for a back his size. The concern is durability.

*6. Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas (6-5, 270) | previous: 5
Gifted athlete, coming off an exceptional 2006 campaign. A complete player, equally as solid versus the run as he is as a pass rusher.

*7. Reggie Nelson, S, Florida (5-11½ 198) | previous: UR
Outstanding football player who can hit like a safety and excel in coverage like a CB. That unique combination is what makes him such a highly regarded NFL prospect.

*8. Alan Branch, DT, Michigan (6-5½, 328) | previous: 7
Huge and athletic, Branch is a true space-eater along the interior. Once his technique improves, watch out!

*9. Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State (5-11, 175) | previous: UR
Takes a backseat to no one in the speed department, bringing a big-play dimension to the WR spot and also the return game.

10. Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson (6-4½, 260) | previous: 9
Flashes dominating ability with his athleticism and quickness. Adams leads the Tigers with 10½ sacks and 15½ tackles for loss.
