Okay. Thanks for having me. I enjoyed my time as a guest at Footballguys.com.

A22. Absolutely agree that could happen. It is an enigmatic DB class. By that I mean there is terrific talent throughout the first and secound rounds. The depth is great. That said, usually each draft will feature at least one "guaranteed" shut down CB. This draft does not offer that. Half of...

A21. There is a significant drop off from Justice to McNeill/Winston. Teams are split on these two. Winston is viewed as the safer pick even with his knee recovery, because he is better blocking for the run and can move to RT. McNeill has great quickness for such a big man and can be a standout...

A20. Hurt the most: LenDale White - RB - USC Tamba Hali - DE - Penn State Alan Zemaitis - CB - Penn State Jason Avant - WR - Michigan Helped the most: Chad Jackson - WR - Florida Winston Justice - OT - USC Vernon Davis - TE - Maryland Johnathan Joseph - CB - South Carolina

A19. Top 3 per position (seniors and elite juniors): * denotes junior QB: Brady Quinn - Notre Dame Drew Stanton - Michigan State Brian Brohm - Louisville* RB: Adrian Peterson - Oklahoma* Michael Bush - Louisville Kenny Irons - Auburn WR: Jeff Samardzija - Notre Dame Calvin Johnson -...

A18. Downgraded a lot: Marcus Vick, LenDale White, AJ Nicholson Downgraded slightly: Jimmy Williams, Brodrick Bunkley, Dusty Dvoracek, Richard Marshall Upgraded a lot: Bobby Carpenter, Kyle Williams Upgraded slightly: Cedric Griffin, Tamba Hali, Daryl Tapp

A17. Positives: Size, obviously (6-5, 225 for people who don't know). Strength. Willingness to block as a WR. Possession receiver capable due to his routes, strong hands, leaping ability, and determination when ball is in the air. Unlike other receivers mentioned previously, Marshall stepped up...

A16. #1. Ahead of all except for Winslow in terms of his athleticism/size combination. Ahead of Winslow because of Winslow's character concerns when he came out. Kid really is a terrific talent. Been quite some time since a TE was selected before a WR...

A15. Agree 100% on the talent and depth of this TE class... After Davis, we rank them this way: Marcedes Lewis - UCLA Joe Klopfenstein - Colorado Dominique Byrd - USC Leonard Pope - Georgia Anthony Fasano - Notre Dame I fully expect Pope to be either the 2nd or 3rd TE selected and...

A14. A little of both, to be honest. I'm still quite high on his upside and traveled to San Antonio to personally scout the East-West Shrine Game practices to clean up my thoughts on a few prospects -- one of which was Orr. He is a legitimate 6-2, 200 pounder with 4.4 speed and leaping ability...

A13. Not as many character issues this year, thankfully, as in years past. A stretch, but some of the underclassmen are a little immature and some of the QBs turned WRs like Brad Smith, Michael Robinson are being pretty stubborn about making the transition to wideout. Nothing to really worry...

A12. The best RB no one seems to be talking about... He's a definite 2nd round pick. If the Colts aren't able to fill their need for a RB, they have Drew ranked pretty high. The Giants and Falcons like him as a potential replacement for Barber, Dunn eventually. Current mock has him going to...

A11. This is a tougher question than it looks because, as you alluded to in the last question, much of the success/failure ratio for RBs is determined by which scheme they're drafted into. That said, based on pure talent, one late guy to watch out for is former South Carolina RB Demetris...

A10. All have the vision and burst to be successful in Indianapolis' or Denvers' scheme, so, not surprisingly, the RBs drafted early by those teams will be ones to watch. Williams lacks size obviously, but is probably the best combination of interior and exterior running of these three. He...

A9. Quite simply, he doesn't break enough tackles. He is a terrific athlete. A very good football player. Just doesn't play with a great deal of physicality. He is viewed as a bit of a change-the-pace back at the next level, much like Seattle back-up Maurice Morris. Will break some long runs if...
