Gabbert at 5??

Wow. he is higher on Gabbert than I thought.

I was thinking more like 7 to 9 for Gabbert on the big board.

[SorthNarolina]

Wow that's quite a list. I'd go with Dareus/Peterson over pretty much anybody else. Everybody else is on the back burner, some players more than others.

in a mock draft or a big board?

big board.

imo, he's the best QB and he's still not in the top 5 players in this draft, but he's close.

He (or at least one of the QBs) will go at or above #5 though in the draft.

[Swarly]

Wow this is actually surprising. If this was a mock it wouldn't but since this is a prospect ranking seeing Dareus so high is unexpected. Figured Peterson or Green were overall the best prospects in the draft.

[GritsRgreat]

I like it!!

That list has no relationship to how folks will come off the board but his idea of who he thinks are the best players. He does this every year rarely drafting many quarterbacks at top picks. Nonetheless there are several that go off the board before many of his so-called top picks. He always go what he thinks is the BPA and most teams go best guy at their position of need. Many times they are very different.

He says that this is his ranking of players, not necessarily where they will come off especially when it comes to QB's which always get "overdrafted"

[Jackofalltrades]

Yep, my boy is #1, my second is #3!

[eViL jEsTeR]

i heard him say on tv thursday night he ranked cam newton 21st and thinks that is about where he should (not will) go, bottom half of the first round.

[CAVSS]

I think Gabby is a little high and I would put cam around 8 and drop Fairley. Other than that I agree.

I like his big board it look well thought out and he is baseing it off of best player. But that still makes me wonder why on some mock drafts they have us still taking bowers. I really think he will go in the teen part of the draft now his injury is a cause for concern. I heared Mayock say something about it, but he was not going to say it on TV.

My number 1 overall pick is Dareus if its not him it has to be a QB.

The lockout just made it harder to trade up and down because now you cant trade players.Just only picks.
