If this is anywhere close to being right we will have our choice of Mallet or Newton. Luck remains the number one pick. Mallet is #8 or #9 and Newton is #14. One of the other major boards I looked at today did not even have Newton in the top 32. Mallet and Luck were there with Luck #1. Luck must really be the cats meow as he is #1 nearly everywhere I look. Depending on where we fall in the draft we have an outside shot at getting Luck. If we lose the rest of our games and a couple of teams with worse records win a couple we could get LUCKy. I have never seen this guy but from what I have read I would do some serious trading to try and get him. Of course so will a lot of other teams.

Nick Fairley *
DT
6-5
310
Analysis: Another brilliant showing at Bama, where he dominated even while not 100 percent. Fairley epitomizes ideal penetrating 4-3 DT. Last week: No. 6
7
Robert Quinn *
DE
6-4
267
Analysis: Freakish athlete with decent size, great quickness and pass-rush skills. Ineligible all year, but scouts are captivated by his talent. Last week: No. 7
8
Marcell Dareus *
DE
6-3
306
Analysis: Played well early against Auburn but looked worn with the rest of Bama's defense late. Best suited as 4-3 DT at the NFL level. Last week: No. 8
9
Ryan Mallett *
QB
6-7
238
Analysis: Mallett has become far more than a big arm. Patience, poise and willingness to check down have enhanced his stock. Last week: No. 9
10
Julio Jones *
WR
6-4
211
Analysis: Jones had another game on Saturday in which, when healthy, he was impossible to stop. Has shown greater ability to separate in 2010. Last week: No. 10
11
Ryan Kerrigan
DE
6-4
259
Analysis: Now at 26 TFL, he leads the nation and has become simply impossible to block, even against double-teams. Ideal for 3-4 OLB, possible 4-3 DE. Last week: No. 11
12
Akeem Ayers *
OLB
6-4
251
Analysis: His exceptional athleticism makes him so versatile. Ideal every-down 3-4 OLB who can rush and cover. Ayers should test well in Indy. Last week. No. 12
13
Justin Blackmon *
WR
6-1
208
Analysis: Wrapping up a breakout season, he has been impossible to keep covered. Good size and speed combo with ability to setup DBs. Last week: No. 13
14
Cameron Newton
QB
6-6
250
Analysis: Against Bama, Newton got to show once again that he's more than a running threat. Capable of extending plays to use a big arm. Last week: No. 15
15
Von Miller
LB
6-3
243
Analysis: Miller has shown recently that his ability to drop and cover has grown. Good 3-4 pass-rusher, with great edge quickness; sack machine. Last week: No. 18
16
Drake Nevis
DT
6-1
289
Analysis: Explosive, up-the-field tackle. Ideal three-technique who plays with great leverage and passion. Solid against run and pass. Last week: No. 17
17
Nate Solder
OT
6-9
313
Analysis: Physical freak with improved skills. Should dominate in workout phase and could get bump in draft short on elite OTs. Last week: No. 19
18
Anthony Castonzo
OT
6-7
306
Analysis: Smart, reliable, solid footwork but could add lower-body strength to become better leverage player. Back up after rough stretch. Last week: No. 20
19
Mark Ingram *
RB
5-10
216
Analysis: Average per rush now tick below last year, but explosive and physical after being dinged early. Solid finisher who can make defenders miss. Last week: No. 14
20
Adrian Clayborn
DE
6-3
282
Analysis: Sacks are down but increased attention part of that. A guy who batters offensive lineman; has great motor. Last week: No. 14
21
Derek Sherrod
OT
6-6
305
Analysis: A later entry to the Big Board this year. An athlete at OT, ha moves his feet well and has been steady against good players; continues to improve. Last week: No. 22
22
Gabe Carimi
OT
6-7
327
Analysis: Has had a fantastic fall, battling number of likely-high draft picks to standstills. Once beaten by speed too often, his footwork has improved. Last week: No. 23
23
Jake Locker
QB
6-3
228
Analysis: Skill-set is fantastic but poor year overall. Has done a great deal of his best work versus bad competition. Last week: No. 21
24
Rahim Moore
S
6-1
196

25
Jon Baldwin *
WR
6-5
225
Analysis: Great physical skills and size. Baldwin has had a rocky season -- games with 1, 3, 2, 3 catches -- but QB issues are part of that. Last week: No. 25
