The Future of the 07' Class

[All Star]

Not a bad list, but I can't justify saying who will be a bust and who will be an all-star before they are drafted........

[JetFanInPA]

Well of course not. I'm more or less "guessing" I'd like to check this list in 4 years. I'll have to save it somewhere.

[DonnieIsTheKing]

Very interesting concept... I'll post a list of my own in a few minutes after I update the board mock.

[James Hasty]

You missed Brandon Merriweather, one of the best players in the draft.

[DonnieIsTheKing]

I'll take the NFL DC top 32 and I'll add why I think some guys will bust

Stars
Calvin Johnson
Joe Thomas
Jamaal Anderson
LaRon Landry
Levi Brown
Paul Posluszny
Dwayne Jarrett
Marshawn Lynch
Darelle Revis
Michael Griffin (Very underrated, btw)
Justin Blalock
Jarvis Moss (as long as he gets in a 3-4 defense)

Solid Starter
Brady Quinn
JaMarcus Russell
Amobi Okoye
Gaines Adams
Adam Carriker
Reggie Nelson
Lawrence Timmons
Ted Ginn Jr.
Victor Abiamiri
Quentin Moses
Ryan Kalil
Jon Beason
Brian Leonard (but will be a terrible pro blocker, only here for receiving skills)

Mediocre-Bust
Alan Branch (Haven't seen enough out of him and I don't think he's anything but a big loaf)
Adrian Peterson (Will be a star, but I think his body will break down as it has the past few years, and won't be able to complete a season)
Leon Hall (Benefited greatly from the talent around him and doesn't have the physical tools to be a #1 corner. He falls in the mediocre column)
Dwayne Bowe (Not a good fundamental player and will drop a lot of passes as well as make mental mistakes)
Joe Staley (Way too small to push around NFL talent, and will be a terrible run blocker)
Marcus McCauley (Took advantage of not being thrown to at all because of his fantastic sophmore season, and is really, really inconsistent)
Sidney Rice (Product of the Spurrier system and has virtually no skill across the middle)

Surprises
Jared Zabransky (Quick, very strong armed, and with a little good coaching he could be a solid starter)
Tyrone Moss (He's fast and thick, and if he stays healthy he could be a star)
Tim Shaw (Always been overshadowed and underrated, and he just needs to bulk up a little to be a star)
Yea, I'm not too brave to list too many surprises. I know the list is also very generous, but who's list isn't going to be?

You missed Brandon Merriweather, one of the best players in the draft.

Added.

I think he might end up as a CB in the NFL. I think he'll end up being a solid starter at CB or FS.

[DonnieIsTheKing]

PA and I have a lot of players in similar spots... I disagree with Anderson though. He has incredible talent and will likely be a top 5 pick when the combine goes through... I wouldn't be surprised if he goes as high as 3 to the Browns. Very skilled and gives a team options (at his weight he could legitimately play 3-4 DE or a little 4-3 DT). As long as he's not in a dump like Oakland he'll be fine.

Also, I think Russell sucks in the dump called Oakland, but when and if he gets out of there he turns into an Aaron Brooks type of player - a good starter but nothing amazing or special.

[JetFanInPA]

If Russell goes to Oakland, than he's definately screwed. Otherwise, he has a chance.

I think he may end up playing CB in green and white.
