Don't think I left anyone obvious off.

[CR91]

you think todd gurley is the best player in the draft?

[Dustin]

you think todd gurley is the best player in the draft?

All positions being equal, yes.

[CR91]

All positions being equal, yes.

 

I still think its leonard williams

[Dustin]

He'll be completely one-dimensional in the pros.

[CR91]

I dont think so. he'll be dominant watch

[Gavin]

Man I don't even know where to begin with a few of these rankings, Mariota over Williams AND Kendricks AND Gordon?

[Dustin]

Mariota is #good.

[Gavin]

Mariota is #good.

Yep.....when he runs

[Dustin]

Yep.....when he runs

Even better when he throws.

[Gavin]

Even better when he throws.

I just don't see it translating to the NFL at all

[12isthenew18]

1.Leonard

2. Winston

3. Gurley

 

Also why is grady that high. I'd love him in the second though

[Defjamz26]

I feel like you have Goldman way to low, and Phillips to high, so I would switch those two.

I personally think McKinney is on the 65-70 range, but that could be just me. Akai apprised not to see Damarius Randall in there

Randall sucks. Not buying into the #hype. 

[NewColtsFan]

Well.....

 

You're certainly independent and completely unafraid of being different.

 

No one will ever accuse you of following the heard or having a group-think mentality.....

 

Props to that........

[Nobody]

Holy Grady Jarrett, Batman!

[Superman]

Don't think I left anyone obvious off.

 

Have you actually watched all of these? Any that you left off because you haven't watched them?

[Dustin]

Have you actually watched all of these? Any that you left off because you haven't watched them?

 

Yeah, I've watched every player on the list. I don't think I left anyone off that the general consensus has as a top 64 player though, so there's not anyone I left off because I didn't watch, but there may very well be a player that I will regard higher when I watch them that could slip into the top 64.  

[That Guy]

I seem to agree with a lot of what you threw up there, but I strongly disagree with your rankings regarding defensive tackles (both positional rankings and overall rankings).

[Dustin]

I understand. I bet on upside with DTs. Especially since there's, IMO, no elite talent that I'd be passing up. 

[HtownColt]

TE Maxx Williams doesn't crack the top 64?

[BlueShoe]

Good God No.

 

Dustin,

 

That is the worst big board I have seen in over 30 years of watching football. 

[BleedBlu8792]

Good God No.

 

Dustin,

 

That is the worst big board I have seen in over 30 years of watching football. 

 

And you think your's is better? Mariota #1

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Darn! I haven't even made my first colt mock yet and people are posting their Big Board. And only 10 days left, I have to make like a speedy racer, LoL.

[Dustin]

Good God No.

Dustin,

That is the worst big board I have seen in over 30 years of watching football.

"Constructive criticism"

[BlueShoe]

"Constructive criticism"

 

Interesting direction you took with this. 

 

I am not going to play this game. I have too many things to do.

 

Good luck to you.

[hoosierhawk]

Thank God for Grigson!!

[jvan1973]

Do you do one of these every year? I really have no comment one way or the other as I don't watch videos of individual college players. Seems like a ton of time and effort. The reason I ask if you do one every year is so can you compare say your 2011 class vs the draft gurus and also vs where they were picked and how they have performed. Either way, nice job

[ColtsBlueFL]

General note:

 

Respect other posters subjective ratings and preferences please.  Nobody is  any more 'Right' or 'Wrong' in their projections than others without any player having ever even taken a snap in the NFL.

 

Disagree and debate.  But please do not demean in the process another posters work.

[alawai]

Thanks guys for posting your mocks and big boards! I love it because it gives me time to cross check the players in my magazines! Lol! Some aren't even listed in some magazines! Thanks again for sharing your work and thoughts!

Don't think I left anyone obvious off.

 

I would respectfully disagree with you straight off the top.  In today's NFL with the workhorse RB being devalued as it has been, I don't see how Gurley can be at the top, to say nothing of his injury.  When I see what Forsett did last year, a RB to me cannot be rated that high any longer.

I'm weighing all positions, aside from the obvious (P, K, LS), equally. 

[Surge89]

Could you do a top 64 with positions weighted as how you perceive the NFL to weigh them?  

 

Just curious 

[Gavin]

Only 1 problem with that...They cant all be weighed equally because they are not equal

[Dustin]

Yes they can. This isn't a mock draft. Gurley being a RB doesn't change that he's the best player in the draft.

Of course someone is more right, we just don't know Edo for sure yet.

[wig]

Yes they can. This isn't a mock draft. Gurley being a RB doesn't change that he's the best player in the draft.

Him not being able to carry it more than 200 times without getting hurt does, though.

[Gavin]

Yes they can. This isn't a mock draft. Gurley being a RB doesn't change that he's the best player in the draft.

No question he is a great talent but the best player in the draft based off what...That's what I mean, How can you put his talent above for example Leonard Williams or Amari Cooper or Vic Beasley

[wig]

No question he is a great talent but the best player in the draft based off what...That's what I mean, How can you put his talent above for example Leonard Williams or Amari Cooper or Vic Beasley, Im not saying he is not the best player but its an easy argument to make

If he had proven that he can stay healthy, I would agree with Dustin. He's the best tangentat his position by a larger margin than anyone else.

"He's the best tangentat his position by a larger margin than anyone else."

 

I disagree, I'd have to go Leonard Williams. Gordon isn't THAT FAR behind Gurley in talent to me and Im not sure a couple other running backs are either if they stay healthy(Abdullah, Johnson....remember we are not talkin where these guys will go in the draft, talent alone). After Williams a case can be made 3-4 guys to be #2 but all well behind Williams to me
