Around SBN: Yankees Deny Rumors That Team Is For Sale

My 2011 NFL Draft Big Board

I don't remember who it was but someone mentioned in Big_Jay's latest mock draft that someone should produce a draft board of names to look out for. I already have a 2011 first round which I will post when I finish my 2012 first rounder, but I will put out a top 50 for you guys right now anyway. 

1. Robert Quinn, DE, UNC Looks and plays like Peppers did in college, a freakish athlete who can drop deep and cover TE's and RB's at 270lbs.

2. Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU Is in my opinion the best CB prospect to come along in the past 10 years. Will be a shutdown corner in the pros.

3. AJ Green, WR, Georgia A physically gifted WR, and for once one that doesn't appear to come with too much baggage, good worker, good team-mate and most importantly a damn good football player

More of the top 50 after the jump.  

Star-divide

4. Jake Locker, QB, Washington He really really reminds me of Big Ben, the cannon arm, the great evasiveness and the great winning metality. Just add in some Tebow-esque scrambling and you have this kid.

5. Marcell Dareus, DE, Alabama Has prototypical size for the position and is absolutely amazing vs the run. Could learn some more pass rush moves but will shoot up boards this year.

6. Julio Jones, WR, Alabama By far the most physically gifted receiver since Randy Moss, scary size speed combo. Needs to clear up his drop issues this year.

7. Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa Could excel in either the 4-3 or the 3-4. Scheme versatile and a relentless beast rushing the passer, scary good. Could be compared to Suh by the end of this season if he blows up.

8. Gabe Carimiri, OT, Wisconsin Prototypical size and has great footwork, should feel pushed by the very strong class of tackles that has no real #1 as of yet. 

9. Greg Romeus, DE, Pittsburgh Scarily fast off the edge, uses his hands extremely well and can use most of the pass rush moves needed in the pros to succeed.

10. Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State A scheme versatile player who projects best to play the end in a 3-4. Could stand to improve his pass rush repetoire but is a beast against the run.

11. Ras-I-Dowling, CB, Virginia

12. Jurell Casey, DT, USC

13. Joe Barksdale, OT, LSU

14. Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh

15. Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M

16. DeAndre Mcdaniel, S, Clemson

17. DaQuan Bowers, DE, Clemson

18. Deunta Williams, FS, UNC

19. DeAndre Brown, WR, Southern Miss

20. Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas

21. Don'ta Hightower, ILB, Alabama

22. Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame

23. Curtis Brown, CB, Texas

24. Rahim Moore, FS, UCLA

25. Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama

26. Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame

27. Aaron Williams, CB, Texas

28. Kris O'Dowd, C, USC

29. Bruce Carter, OLB, UNC

30. Christian Ponder, QB, FSU

31. Prince Amukamura, CB, Nebraska

32. Nate Potter, OT, Boise State

33. Jeremy Beal, DE, Oklohoma

34. Jerelle Powe, NT, Mississippi

35. Allen Bailey, DL, Miami

36. Marvin Austin, DT, UNC

37. Stefen Wisniewiski, C, Penn State

38. Terrance Tolliver, WR, LSU

39. Chris Galippo, ILB, USC

40. Travis Lewis, OLB, Oklohoma 

41. Cameron Chism, CB, Maryland

42. Brandon Taylor, S, LSU

43. Quan Sturdivant, ILB, UNC

44. Jack Crawford, DE/OLB, Penn State

45. Jared Crick, DT, Nebraska

46. DeVier Posey, WR, Ohio State

47. Jaye Howard, DT, Florida

48. Seand Richardson, S, Vanderbilt

49. Chris Culliver, S, South Carolina

50. Armon Binns, WR, Cincinnati

If Limas is out for the year

I’d really look into going WR #1 next year and hope one of the studs drops to you.

FYI Chris Culliver went to my high school, I was ahead of him though didn’t play much with him but when I did you could see he was good, not great though IMO. but who am I lol. He did something right at SC to be a top 50 player.

Too early to tell right now

Terrance Toliver? He’s big and talented but has already been arrested, so probably not.

DeVier Posey? A possibility. We’ll see what he does this year, if he has a great year at OSU with Terrell Pryor trying to show he is an elite passer then yes.

But I’d rather have the top guys fall, they are a sure bet in this league.

I like it!!

Drafting at 32 that is………

Can’t wait to see how Wallace and the other younger WR’s perform this year. Hoping WR will not be a need for a 1st rounder in 2011.

Baldwin is the man!

Good to see you have him as high as 14. One thing I find a little shocking is having Heyward as low as 10. I personally see him as being superior to Dareus. But I guess it’ll come down to what scheme employs as to who get drafted when. But of course at this point this is all 100% speculation

Speaking of WVU

You think Noel Devine will be a good NFLer? I keep telling my brother I think he is too small.

The future is not what it used to be.

by John Stephens on May 3, 2010 12:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

He may be small, but he is off the charts in terms of strength

the dude can Bench something like 450 lbs., and if Dannen Sproles and MJD can play in the NFL I think Noel Devine can play as well

MJD is 208

Devine is only 178 (and that could be inflated). Even Sproles is 185.

He is lightning in a bottle, but I can’t see him being successful unless he gets on a team with a great run blocking team.

Devine's measuring stick is Dexter McCluster...

5’9" 172 lbs., Kansas City Chiefs

If Dexter can have success, on a team with holes in multiple places, Noel will get a better look see from scouts.

I think he is just too small to be an every down back or even a 20 touch a game guy

but he is explosive and dangerous in the open field, depending on how much value the team puts on that is where he will get drafted.

He could be like a Reggie Bush type of back

that guy that comes in catches a screen and takes it to the house and takes the occasional handoff and out runs everyone on the field

Is he as gifted as bush though?

I would liken him more to a Sproles type, Bush is a freak and I haven’t seen that outta Devine…. yet

No, we don't want to risk injury

actually its Tavon(I think I spelled that right) Austin who returns kicks for us, he did take the opening KO for a TD against UConn.

I think he is more gifted than bush

Faster and stronger. As said before, he put up like 450 on the bench as a freshman. That is over 2 times his weight. I wonder how much he can squat.

I just think he is too small. High risk/high reward type.

All I can think about when I read next years draft boards, or mock drafts is:

I wonder how many of these guys will still be on the boards/mocks after this season.

patrick peterson or ras i-dowling

peterson will probably go high, so hopefully not. we’ve got a shot at dowling though. that’d be ideal since he would have the flexibilty to take over for ryan clark if our young CBs step up.

'hopefully not'
