Do not be surprised if States left tackle Rankin goes in the first. I've seen him projected as high as 9th. More likely a late first early second guy though.

There is no way he gets drafted that high given injury history.


One injury free year will clear a lot of doubts. Kenyan Drake was a 210 pound backup that broke more bones than Evil Kneivel and was the third back selected in his class. An injury free year with production similar to how he finished last year and he's going in the first round.


That said, I'll believe when I see it in regards to an injury free year. He's a guy that will wow at the combine though, dude is built like a tank

Callaway is the best offensive player we've had in awhile, but I just don't think the NFL scouts will be too enamored with him.

He's on the short side at 5'11" and I don't think he has quite the sure hands and ball skills to make him a 1st round pick. He plays fast but he'll probably run in the mid 4.4 to 4.5 range.

Don't get me wrong, he's been incredible with the limited opportunities he gets in our offense but I think he's more of a late 2nd/3rd round prospect.

Ridley is WAY too high, I think he's late 1st early 2nd rounder at best. Great college receiver but he's not a top 5 pick

McShay always overrates players in the spring, it's what he's best at.

Receivers and Qbs are tricky to judge. No one had John Ross and Corey Davis in the top 10.

Key will be classified as an "edge" player

Not a chance. He's a top 10 pick all day long. Was the best player on the defense last year not named Reuben Foster.

which was in the 3rd round and he also ran a 4.45 40 at the combine

no one is spending a 1st round draft pick on a RB that can't stay healthy. One year without an injury doesn't discount that he's been injured almost every year he's played going back to high school. He's a great player when healthy but I just don't see any GM taking a gamble like that with a 1st round pick

Ridley isn't going to get picked that high. Bo is too high. Key and guice too low. Payne to low

If they both stay healthy, there's no fricking way Scarbrough is drafted before Guice.

Ban bet.

C'mon man... What has Hand done worth putting him in the 1st round?

Scarbrough is a good talent but the dude has been fighting injuries since highschool. If Henry went in the 2nd, what makes him think Bo will go higher.

Hand doesn't have much with regards to production, but his measurables are off the charts. No excuses after this year, but I think he'll produce.

I can think of a non Heisman winning rb who recently went higher, shocked nobody.
