Rank Your Top 5 players in Offense and Defense

#1 Calvin Johnson
#2 JeMarcus Russell
#3 Brady Quinn
#4 Adrian Peterson
#5 Joe Thomas

#1 LaRon Landry
#2 Gaines Adams
#3 Patrick Willis
#4 Leon Hall
#5 Lawerence Timmons

Joe Thomas has to be #5 or even higher because of his domiance

[NoT25hAbY]

1 - Calvin Johnson
2 - Adrian Peterson
3 - Brady Quinn
4 - Joe Thomas
5 - Brian Leonard

1 - Laron Landry
2 - Alan Branch
3 - Amobi Okoye
4 - Paul Posluzny
5 - Buster Davis

Same as everybodys really, except I think Brian Leonard is a oldschool football player and Buster Davis never had the time or coaching to progress at FSU. Will be a stud at 6 foot nothing.

[Sportsbuck]

Considering that FSU has had one of the best defenses for the past decade or so, I think David had the coaching to progress at FSU. And how do you not have Gaines Adams (A lock for the Top 10)?

1. Adrian Peterson
2. Calvin Johnson
3. Joe Thomas
4. Jamarcus Russell
5. Brady Quinn

1. Alan Branch
2. Gaines Adams
3. Jamaal Anderson
4. Laron Landry
5. Paul Posluzny or Patrick Willis (Pretty much interchangable)

[bearcat]

I wouldn't put Adrian Peterson anywhere near #1. He's 5th at best.

1. Calvin Johnson
2. JaMarcus Russell
3. Brady Quinn
4. Joe Thomas
5. Adrian Peterson

1. Gaines Adams
2. LaRon Landry
3. Patrick Willis
4. Leon Hall
5. Aaron Ross (vastly underrated)

[Sportsbuck]

Numbers 4 and 5 tended to get burnt by a certain #7. And Hall got beat in two consecutive big games by good receivers.

1. Calvin Johnson
2. Brady Quinn

5. Adrian Peterson

1. LaRon Landry
2. Patrick Willis (This guy was sick at Ole Miss, and that's saying something)
3. Amobi Okoye
4. Paul Poslunzy
5. Gaines Adams

I don't follow the draft much, I just know what these kids did in college and a little bit of the hype.

In Ross' defense, the 'Horns were missing a starting corner and a starting safety in that game, so he had no help over the top and from the otherside. Plus, Ginn would be one of the two or three fastest WR's in the NFL right now. Ross runs in the low 4.3's, and that should tell you something about Ginn's speed. He'll (Ross) do just fine.

I dont think Gaines Adams is as good. I have seen him play enough times to think he's an average player at best. I am sure you all never even saw him play, but hear the talk about him an atoumaticaly put him on your list haha.

Darn Mel Kipper and the Draft Hype...

[JacktheRipper]

I saw him play a couple of games and I thought he looked good enough. I don't exactly see how he was average N2S, I thought he was one of the better ends I saw. I mean, I didn't exactly watch him the entire game, but against Wake Forest, and even Kentucky I didn't see anything that made me think he won't be a decent NFL player.

Yeah, I think you just like being different N2S.

Yeah considering I was at the Wake Forest-Clemson game this year, he is a top of the line prospect.

[NoT25hAbY]

I guess I do like to be different haha... but when it comes to the NFL and the NFL Draft... I havn't really been wrong about much except that Ryan Moats would flourish haha.

Maybe this is a Ryan Moats type pick, but I have seen him in a few games and he often looks lost. He is good one-on-one against young inexperienced tackles, but he didn't really have the mind to make the intellegent play out there.

In Baltimore... he'd be a stud, because he's got the physical talent. In Tampa or Washington, he'd bust, because the system they run there dont allow you to free-lance.

I guess it's my oppinion, but I disagree with just about everybody on everything in the NFL nowadays haha. What happened to Ucrossed and Leak. They used to agree with me.

[Leak2Troupe03]

Ive just been reading things, less posting but I agree on this one. I was completely impressed with Mario Williams athleticism, strength, size, and yet he didnt perform to expectations last year as the top overall pick/defensive player. Gaines in no way even compares to Williams in my mind when it comes to everything he had to offer.

Plus, look at some of the past early D-Line picks. Guys like Courtney Brown, Gerard Warren (sorry Gerard), Ryan Sims stand out to me. Peppers is about the only one that worked though I wouldnt give up on Mario yet. Point is that I would much rather go with a corner, safety, or linebacker.

[JacktheRipper]

I agree on the side that Adams seems to get by on his athleticism and not his football IQ. I've noticed that d-line prospects seem to be very hit or miss. My thought is that he's coachable and in the right defense he'll be a good player.

Then again, I'm not the guy you want to ask about draft information. Ask me about recruits for college and maybe I can give you an answer. Draft stuff ain't my thing, so take my commentary with a grain of salt.

See I just admit my basic ignorance and move on.

[bearcat]

I keep forgetting about Amobi Okoye out of Louisville. He's got enough size for the interior, but looks to be quick enough to move to end should he not work out in the middle. And at 20 years old, he's got a lot of room to grow. He might end up being the biggest sleeper in this entire draft.
