I thought Phillip Thomas from Syracuse declared, but I guess he didn't

Like I said, you could be right and he just hasn't gotten to it, but he's been on it since the regular season ended. The dude that runs the Buffalo site is one of those Divsion II, III, type knows everybody types, I don't even know if he has a regular job he works so much on that stuff. I caught a tweet about a player a few weeks ago and forwarded it to him, he already had it on the board hours before.
Anyway, that site is linked to all our AFC East sites. That's the group of folks I been workin with the past 5 months.

Yeah, you wise Chester to modify that.
Dudes on radio last week sayin he would be the 4th running back taken, I soooooo can't wait for them to hear folks nationally callin him a Jaquizz type back.
Gonna warm my soul.
He's going to get taken by one of those fast track offenses too, watch. Indy, Hou, N.O., like Jaquizz going to Atl as well. The similarites are going to be endless. But he'd fit in on a fast track. It's his best chance obviously.

@
.@Jon_Dove42 I would be SHOCKED if Washington didn't end up with Robert Griffin at the end of the day.
@

Any Alabama defender in this draft made money last night. Those guys are insane.
Upshaw was the one I saw on Twitter whose name got the most pub. I saw him as high as top 10 by some scouts.
Either way, if I am a team and am going to pick defense, I'm not takin a kid from Iowa Southern no matter how good his freaking measurables are, I'm takin a kid that played SEC ball and knows how to be coached, and what to do.
I'll try later to come in and update a bunch of stuff in the OP. Sorry I been slackin all that. I'll link the underclassmen site I used, plus update the draft order as we have it so far.

3-4 teams are going be all over those LBs and that NT (i think he's going in the draft as well)
and kirkpatrick made himself some bank last
all good things as far as the eagles are concerned, i hope they all go before 15 (with the exception of them going to any NFC east team)

[h1]Griffin weighs draft decision as Sunday deadline looms[/h1]
The Sports Xchange/CBSSports.com
Robert Griffin III met with seven sports agencies and then again with Baylor coach Art Briles as he weighs the decision of whether to return to the Bears for his senior season or enter the 2012 NFL Draft.
The deadline for underclassmen to enter the draft is Sunday.
"He's really contemplating what he feels like is the thing that's going to give him peace," Briles said.
The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner and NFLDraftScout.com's No. 2-ranked quarterback prospect, Griffin met with prospective agents with Baylor compliance officers present to ensure he wasn't sacrificing his eligibility should he opt to return to college football. He first had his parents, both Army sargeants, interview agents and provide him feedback.
Griffin, 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, earned his bachelor's degree a year ago after graduating high school a semester early to enroll in January 2008. He's on pace to earn his masters in communication in May and is engaged to be married.
There are no character-related questions with Griffin, who said he arrived at Baylor with the NFL as a Plan B.
"Plan B can overtake Plan A if they come knocking at your door," he said. "Who are you to turn down the NFL."
Indeed, a lot changed for Griffin in the span of one season. At this time last year, he said he received feedback from the NFL Draft Advisory Board that he was likely to be a second- or third-round pick. In a loaded quarterback class that included five quarterbacks in the top 35 selections, Griffin might have been overlooked.
If he decides to turn pro, that's unlikely this time around.
Stanford's Andrew Luck, the top-rated prospect by NFLDraftScout.com, and Griffin are expected to be the only sure first-round picks. Some might include Ryan Tannehill of Texas A&M, but his raw skills after just two years at the position make him more of a risk.
Risk should be a consideration for Griffin, who missed most of the 2009 season with a knee injury.
After throwing for more than 4,000 yards with 37 touchdowns and only six interceptions, Griffin has opened many eyes. He also had 699 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. Former Colts head coach Tony Dungy is on the record that he might even draft Griffin, not Luck, with the first overall pick. He won't be the only one with that opinion, regardless of how flawless the Stanford redshirt junior has been.
Griffin isn't without some concerns with evaluators, who want to verify his height and weight before projecting him as a franchise quarterback. On appearances alone, there are scouts who are concerned Griffin doesn't have the sturdy build to withstand the rigors of taking pounding in and outside of the pocket in the NFL.
But like Newton in 2011, about whom there were concerns he could throw accurately in an NFL-style offense, it's also worth considering whether Griffin has a reasonable facsimile in the NFL.
Griffin said he patterns his game after Steve Young -- a mobile quarterback who thrives on efficiency -- but can't help but see the comparison many have drawn between 2011 No. 1 overall pick Newton and Griffin.
Griffin owns 46 Baylor records, and in 41 games completed 67 percent of his passes (800 of 1,192) for 10,366 yards with 78 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He had 33 rushing touchdowns and 2,254 yards.

Vikings not taking RG3 dude. Vikings front office might give false reports so a team like Dolphins or ******** can trade for the 3 spot.

i am with you on this 100%, or we can take blackmon

the vikes are in a great position this year, they are pretty much guaranteed a blue chip prospect. The best OT, WR, and CB in recent memory in the same draft.
I really want Blackmon the most, I think he is can't miss.
I know we NEED Kalil though.
put em up

If Panthers don't take some for that secondary or the O Line, my head will explode. They can get a WR in the 3rd or later. Lafell came on strong at the end and they have NaNa who's pure trash but that's not what's important.

Foles, Tannehill, Weeden, not neccessarily in that order. I really like Russell Wilson too, but not ready to put him in my top 5. Not extremely high on Landry anymore either.
foles: good arm, but if his first read's not open the play's over
tannehill: everytime i see him he's darts on targets but all those blown leads makes me wonder
weeden: dude is near 30, otherwise good player
osweiler: doesn't understand apostrophe usage
case keenum: texas tech qb/colt brennan-style clipboard holder? i think he's better than that
russell wilson: i think he's awesome, nice arm, great reads, but i guess 5'10 means 4th round or later
kellen moore: 3 inches and hgh would make him a top 5 pick
brantley: should have declared straight out of hs
lindley: sucks
that's not in any order
none of them are first round talents, but in a qb-centric league all these players are moving up, especially now it's cheaper to whiff

Kalil, Claiborne, or Blackmon.
All are interchangeable and I'd be fine with any of them.

I think this is going to be a really good draft class.
Whoever we come out with out of Claiborne, Blackmon, Richardson, or Kalil is going to be really, really good. But I'd prefer we end up with Blackmon, and then go after DeSean in free agency.
