i skipped over 2 pages so you guys may have already went over some of these guys but what about:

Lamar Woodley
Daymeion Hughes

& Kastofna, is your NFL comparison what they could become or where you think their skill level is currently at?

Lamar Woodley DE/LB
Pros: quick for DE, big at LB
Cons: small for a DE, not too good at coverage
analysis: good in a 3-4 system playing a OLB.
player like: jason babin at worst, demarcus ware at best

Daymeion Hughes

I don't want to interfere on every draft masters territory, but I would like to talk about Hughes a bit.

Daymeion Hughes is a very polished CB with top instincts. He has played against some stiff competition and more than held his own the past two years. He doesn't project as well as a Revis or a Cason to the NFL, but he knows how to read the play and when to make his jumps. He shows good, short burst recovery speed and enough speed to take it house on a pick. He has good size and very smooth hips. His head is always on a swivel and he knows how to turn and make the play on the ball which is more than can be said for either of our CBs. He lacks elite speed, but does have quick feet.

Pros: He can find the ball in the air and make a play, he uses his hands very well, he can actually catch the ball, his hips are very quick for a CB w/average speed. He has preformed consistently at a very high level in the Pac 10 with the likes of USC, Fresno, and the generally pass happy conference. He has great closing speed and seems to always be on the balls of his feet. He is a solid wrap up tackler who does know how to make a play on the ball first.

Cons: He won't wow you with measurables. His lack of ideal measurables has him labled as a "zone" CB only. I think he can do more, but he does have a few physical limitations. His backpedal is a little slower than I would like to see. He is not a "big hitter".

NFL comparison: Nate Clements

chris leak
pros: good leader, can run if need be, good accuracy, good arm strength
cons: not the fast QB, going through progressions(sometimes)
player: steve mcnair

steve smith
pros: good speed, good route runner, good hands
cons: not the too big, not that strong
player like: mike furrey(with more speed)

sorry havent seen much of sears.
 
Whatever happened to Dwayne Slay, cant he be converted to OLB in the NFL

He played faster in pads than his 40 showed.

ainge is going nowhere. meachem is declaring if he's ruled a 1st rounder by the draft committee, and there's certainly no reason to think he won't be; i think he ultimately, after a great combine, goes ahead of jarrett and after ginn. i personally think he's the 3rd-4th best WR in this draft.

Robert Meachem
Pros: Great size, great speed, showed great improvement this past year, proved to be effective everywhere on the field, great routes.
Cons: Has had a tendency to drop passes.
NFL Comparison: Javon Walker

Justin Harrell
Pros: Good size and good strength, clogs up the interior very well against the run, good athlete for his size, is the definition of a true gamer and warrior, playing through injury in the biggest game of his career.
Cons: Not a huge threat in the backfield, the injury to his bicep might be pretty serious and could hurt his ability to break at the line, not as dominating as you would hope he'd be.
NFL Comparsion: Gabe Watson
Click to expand...

yes he was in this post.
 
Meachem compares more to AJ than Walker IMO. He also happens to be the 2nd best WR in the draft only behind soon to be #1 overall CJ.

Well, I don't really consider you a draft nut, nor do I find you 1 sentence about the guy interesting or something I didn't know already, but I'm bored right now. Tell me your opinion on Bain, Everett, Weddel, Cornish, and Duckworth to start with. 3 pretty easy guys and one sleeper.

pro: means he should be strong
con: endurance facor/more conditioning needed

No offense, but you really need to clarify and start going into more detail on these. You've really got to quit being so broad because it makes people assume things that may not be true. From what I've seen, he actually seems athletic for his size, so as long as he doesn't end up much bigger, he should be fine. Also, not all big guys struggle with conditioning problems, as long as they stay in shape.

I will work on that and he can be a good player if he doesn't get too big.

Is a better OT prospect than Thomas. He is HUGE but agile. Moves well laterally. Explosive out of his stance. Strong hand punch. He can play a little high at times, but athletiscism allows him to overcome that when he does. He is a dominant LT prospect that has all the talent in the world. He shut down many great DE's that have gone to the NFL now including Mario, Lawson, and Wimbly. They didn't get a single sack between them against him. He extends his hands well and keeps the defender off him. Drives his man back on running plays.

Garrett Wolfe

Johnnie Lee Higgins

wolfe~NIU
great fast runner, has decent vision , small 5'7 170/175, needs to get stronger, runs hard, may not hold up for a whole year (see how brian calhoun did this year), got shut down by better defensive teams (see game stats vs. western michigan, vs. iowa and vs. TCU).
He is also a very good receiver, might end up as a wide out, need to learn how to pick up blitzs more, I see him as third down back or return/receiver in the NFL.
player like(if RB): Brian Calhoun
player like(If KR/WR): Dante Hall/J.J. Moses

Higgins~UTEP
good speed, runs very good routes, make big catches and big plays, has decent size, he will have to recognize coverage more in the NFL and adjust to it. He has playmaking ability but will have to adjust thats for sure. Didn't play against the top DBs in college.
player like: roddy white(probably will be better than white)
 
I see Garrett Wolfe being more like Darren Sproles than Brian Calhoun. Brian Calhoun may not be the tallest of players, but he has some bulk.

Chris Henry RB Arizona

This kid has had a decent year dont know why he is coming out early, but he has decent speed and above average power or strength. Hasnt had a lot of carries in college Mike Bell was there the year before. Needs to get better at picking up blitzs and catching the ball more. Some team will take a shot at him on day 2 of the draft. He could have good upside.
player like: Mike Bell(little stronger and a little slower than bell though)
