Concerning OT's I just don't see one rated higher than say a Michael Oher, who was selected by the Ravens #23rd overall pick in 09. I still think one of the QB's already discussed & another DE maybe?

This is an overall big board right? I think you have to look at DE or a 34 specialist. If Miller has a great post season, he could go here. Similar to whatshisname that went to Washington.

Yes, Overall Big Board.

If its a DE/DT my choice here would be California Bear Cameron Jordan, 6-4 285. his linemate Tyson Alualu surprised everyone going #10 overall to Jacksonville. Been pretty solid for a rookie moving inside. Second choice would be Iowa DE/DT Adrian Clayborn, 6-3 286.

A QB. Mallett/Locker/Newton.

I don't think there is any way Mallett goes this high. And I don't think he will go before Newton. If Locker has a big game against Nebraska this time around, he will probably go before Mallett as well.

Well I guess flip a coin. Or we can meet in the middle and choose Locker. Lets move on to 10.

[beerlover]

flipped a coin & its Locker. If he had come out last year Jake could have been a top 5 pick so I can live with it. I know there are some who would love to see him fall to their favorite team, but someone is going to need a QB & take him early, has all the measureables.

1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford - 6'4 - 235
2. Patrick Peterson, DB, LSU - 6'1 - 222
3. A.J. Green, WR, Georgia - 6'4 - 212
4. Prince Amukamara, DB, Nebraska - 6'1 - 205
5. Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson - 6'4 - 280
6. Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn - 6'5 - 298
7. Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama - 6'3 - 306
8. Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina - 6'5 - 268
9. Jake Locker, QB, Washington - 6'3 - 230


on to #10

how about Cal DE Cameron Jordan, 6-4 285?

on to #10

how about Cal DE Cameron Jordan, 6-4 285?

I'm good with Locker at #9, he has the physical tools that make GMs salvaite so that's fine. I personally like Clayborn or Bailey at #10, don't no much about Jordan however.

I expect the next few slots to go to defensive players because theres not much offensive talent this year (there is but not anything impressive IMO).

#10 Newton

Dont know much about Jordan. But if I had to pick a DE Clayborn would be my pick. He's not flashy but will be a 10 yr starter. Particullarly if he goes to a 3/4 team.

[Blake]

Seeing as how this could take a really long time let me throw out an idea. What if we were to get everyone who wanted to participate to give us the rest of their top 32. We can take the average of where they are slotted and put them on the big board. Any ties would be debated.

Or we can keep doing it this way.

[steelbtexan]

Sounds like a great idea to me.

But I like the back and forth debate also.

This MB has great mock drafters and I like there thoughts on players that I might have a different idea than. Or a guy like Cam Jordan who I know very little about. But will study up on him bfore the combine. Any info on Jordan would be helpful.

I agree with you Locker is a higher rated player than Mallet

[painekiller]

Mark Ingram will be coming into the debat soon, he is the highest RB in the draft.

At 10 I have Clayborn or Paea

if we can maintain this pace our taxanstalk group Big Board should be completed by the BCS game. by that time everyone, including underclassman will be dialed in & ready for everyone's mocking pleasure

what would you think of an Ingram/Foster backfield? think the Texans would run the ball more?

this is what Rob Rang says about Jordon -

Jordan, 6-4, 285, doesn't have the name recognition of some of the other top defensive linemen available, but his size, production and versatility could result in a "surprise" first-round selection as similar traits did last year for former teammate Tyson Alualu.

Has more range than Clayborn from what I've seen, Clayborn has a better motor. Rang -

Clayborn isn't a dynamic edge rusher - a reason why he may slip to the middle or late first round

I know the guys want to go defense but Cam is still on the board & when I flipped the coin it was heads/Locker tails/Newton
