Consensus Big Board

[teeray]

Clearly you didn't read the article or you would have seen right at the very top,

Does this mean that this list is right? No. But it does mean that it is a composite average of the top 10 from people who are payed a lot of money to know a hell of a lot more about the draft and college prospects than anyone on this board.

The "real" experts will show their cards on April 28th. These guys are good but we will find out the truth when the draft actually happens.

These guys are paid well to be smarter than us. But the FO's are paid more than most of these guys and have more on the line when the draft actually happens.

I can answer most questions about Dareus that anyone might have. I have inside connections within the U of A athletic dept. Dareus would be a fine, fine pick for Carolina; a Julius Peppers type pick. He has incredible speed for his size and knows the game at the pro level TODAY...no other pick in the top 5 has the pedigree, training, coaching Dareus had. He's a no risk player on the field and off.

Yeah but he called out coach a "kid" so fug him. :D

^I agree completely.

I just get annoyed when people post condescending comments about a story that they obviously didn't read. And scoff at the idea that the collective minds of 7 or so people who, for the most part, their entire job revolves around evaluating college football talent. And all because said experts didn't include their favorite player in their top ten.

Why people want a guy outside of the top ten as the first pick overall is beyond me.

It's really very simple. Some of us, including me, feel we must improve the QB position through the draft and not depend on some stop gap solution.

Some of us also believe Newton is a much better prospect than Gabbert.

Maybe we could trade down and still get him, but I don't think anyone really believes that is possible.

You may find this reasoning suspect given your personal preferences, and that's fine, but understand that people on the other side of the fence put thought into this also.

That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out objection. Over ruled.

Bunting seems to be the most common outlier, usually by a pretty bid disparity. Just an observation about the actual rankings.

Hey, Stan, you're in Ala-fugin'-bama. You come from New York. You killed a good ol' boy. There is no way this is not going to trial!

Not really all that relevant, but take a look at the definition of his arms:

Good lord. Sorry, but saw that pic and thought it was pretty impressive.

Look at the lack of definition in the arms of Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Rothelisburger, Rivers and ask yourself if it makes any difference. I'm more worried about what's between his ears.
