Here's my early top 21 guys. Thought it'd make a good look at who we might be picking out of. Not the order they'll be picked but the order I rank their talent. I also included 11 potential board busters, guys who could jump into the top 21 with good workouts or be overpicked.
1. Calvin Johnson
2. Joe Thomas
3. Alan Branch
4. Jamaal Anderson
5. Adrian Peterson
6. Gaines Adams
7. JaMarcus Russell
8. Brady Quinn
9. Leon Hall
10. Laron Landry
11. Ted Ginn Jr.
12. Reggie Nelson
13. Marshawn Lynch
14. Dwayne Jarrett
15. Levi Brown
16. Charles Johnson
17. Adam Carriker
18. Amobi Okoye
19. Jarvis Moss
20. Robert Meachem
21. Darelle Revis
Board Busters:
Tony Ugoh, OT
Lawrence Timmons, OLB
Tim Crowder/LaMarr Woodley/Quentin Moses, DE
DeMarcus Tyler, DT
Sidney Rice, WR
Dwayne Bowe, WR
Ben Grubbs, OG
Patrick Willis, ILB
Drew Stanton, QB
Ugoh needs to pick it up to make it back into the top 20, but if he does he could bump Levi Brown down.
Timmons is the best 4-3 OLB, Willis is the best ILB. A team could easily take them early if they have a solid combine. I also grouped Crowder, Woodley, and Moses as a trio who could potentially put up impressive combine numbers in the speed drills which would make them 3-4 OLB candidates. Seems we have one of those go in the mid-teens almost every year now.
Grubbs has a shot at the top 20 since he's probably the best looking OG at this point. Teams needing interior help might overpick on him, Ryan Kalil, or Satelle (sp?).
Rice and Bowe are two impressive WR prospects, could easily unseat the talented Meachem, or we could see 5 WRs in the top 21 picks. Strong class even without Samardzija.
I think Tank Tyler will get overpicked as he's the best NT choice outside of Alan Branch who'll be a top 10 pick.
Drew Stanton is improving his stock a little at the senior bowl, if he has future good workouts he could find himself as the third 1st round QB, but I doubt it gets him taken higher than the late 20's. Its an outside shot though.
