NFL Draft Showcase's Updated Top 100 players overall - The Orange Mane

SoCalBronco · 03-06-2005, 11:35 PM

from NFL Draft showcase. I am underlining those who i think are ranked here significantly lower than what i think they should be and boldening those who i think are projected significantly higher than where i would put them.

NOTES:
*This list is based upon projected NFL success, not necessarily where players will be drafted.
*Derrick Johnson's speed and playmaking ability make him our new top prospect.
*Shawne Merriman is a freak athlete who has moved up as much as any player.
*Troy Williamson's stock is going up after a great combine performance
*Khalif Barnes' stock is also high, especially with a weaker OT class.
*Pacman Jones is high on everyone's list, but I'm still skeptical about players who move up so much in ranking after the season ends.
*Robert McCune will surprise people. He's not a household name, but he's a great athelte.

SoCal - agrree with many of your observations. What don't you like about Ronnie Brown? 5th best might be a stretch, but he looked pretty good to me the last two years.

I think Darren Sproles is definitely among the top 100 prospects. He's undersized and has durability issues, but that has been said about several good RBs. Sproles is flava clown-free and very speedy. I'm not saying he'll be picked in the first 3 rounds, but he's certainly NOT overrated at #100.
