Great idea. This was fun. Thanks.
Hard to figure out where some of these guys are going to go in the draft (Gilyard and McCourty especially vary wildly depending which site you look at), and I would have liked to fit in a good guard/center prospect, but oh well. . .
___________All Big East Draft____________
1 - Anthony Davis, T, Rutgers
The best Big East player in this year's draft. I still don't see Doug Free as the future at left tackle and this would take care of that problem. We'd almost certainly have to trade up to get Davis, but you never know: nobody thought Marcus McNeil was going to fall as far as he did back in '06.
2 - Arthur Jones, DE/NT, Syracuse
Syracuse NT, a TFL machine on an otherwise bad team, and a first-round talent whose stock is uncertain because of injury concerns. Could backup Ratliff while being groomed to take over for Spears.
3 - Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati
The bottom of the third round seems a little low for him, but concerns about his ability to hold up on the pro level will likely knock him down a bit. Was second in the nation in KO return yards and fourth in average. Could eventually be the receiver the offense is looking for to stretch the field.
4 - Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
Considered a better prospect than his brother Jason, a sixth-round pick by the Titans last year. An excellent special teams player, who can add depth behind Newman, Jenkins, and Scandrick, and maybe make sure Ball is able to focus on backing up free safety.
6 - Marcus Easley, WR, Connecticut
Was the Husky's version of Mils Austin, coming out of "nowhere" mid-season and ending up with 48 receptions, 894 yards (18.6 avg), and 8 TDs. Looked like a not-so-poor man's Hakim Nicks. Would likely need a few seasons to acclimate to the pro game but until then he's another good special teams player.
7 - Ryan D'Imperio, ILB, Rutgers
Could challenge for a backup role, but more likely we're looking at the practice squad here.
