[D41lasCowboys31]

Jake Long is a top 5 offensive tackle

 

[Rampage]

brady shouldn't be #1.

 

[Hostile]

brady shouldn't be #1.

He's easily #1.

 

[AmishCowboy]

Nice Article in this weeks Sporting News about Carson Palmer's brother at UTEP and how he's the best QB at a Non BCS School. Jordan is his first name.

 

[JonCJG]

I'll take Justin Blalock in the first please.

Edit Where's my boy Lamar Woodley?

 

[Rampage]

He's easily #1.

he's overrated and looked like crap all year

 

[Hostile]

I'll take Justin Blalock in the first please.

Edit Where's my boy Lamar Woodley?

Is he a Senior? This list is Seniors only.

DE at Michigan right?

 

[JonCJG]

Is he a Senior? This list is Seniors only.

DE at Michigan right?

Yeah he's a 6-2 268 pound DE who will be a very good 3-4 linebacker in the pros IMO.

He is a senior.

 

[Cowboy Junkie]

he's overrated and looked like crap all year

I disagree , Quinn is the best QB in the nation and is every bit as good as Carson Palmer was when he came out.
I am not a fan of ND but have seen every one of there games this year and although ND has not played to expectaions Quinn Has looked awsome.

 

[Cowboy Junkie]

Tony Hunt I believe wil not be a good pro.
He dosent seem to have the speed and quickness to make it in the NFL.

So, which one will Parcells draft?

 

[Danny White]

I disagree , Quinn is the best QB in the nation and is every bit as good as Carson Palmer was when he came out.
I am not a fan of ND but have seen every one of there games this year and although ND has not played to expectaions Quinn Has looked awsome.

Don't waste your breath... you're arguing with a 12-year old brick wall.

 

[silverbear]

I'll take Justin Blalock in the first please.

Him, or Kyle Young... Blalock is the best Texas offensive lineman in a long, long time, while Young is the best center prospect in the last 5-10 years... he's big enough to go head up with your average everyday 350 pound NT...

 

[silverbear]

he's overrated and looked like crap all year

Just say no to drugs...

 

[Bob Sacamano]

where's Calvin Johnson?

glad we don't need RBs, this class is gonna stink

 

[silverbear]

No Jason Hill at WR??

No Jordan Palmer at QB??

Wow...

 

[superpunk]

where's Calvin Johnson?

glad we don't need RBs, this class is gonna stink

Probably on the Junior list.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Probably on the Junior list.
