Sporting News draft follower list his Top 10 N.F.L. Draft Prospects.

The Combine begins Feb. 22 in Indianapolis, where players will be weighed, measured, analyzed and scrutinized during a week of evaluations. The 2012 NFL Draft will begin April 26 and conclude April 28.

Below is a quick look at the top 50 players right now:
1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford. He's as close to Peyton Manning as the Indianapolis Colts are going to get. Luck has great football intelligence, poise in the pocket and is competitive.

2. Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor. Griffin is in a virtual tie with Luck as the best player in the draft. He has excellent arm strength, accuracy and is off the charts when it comes to leadership and smarts.

On a side note, Russ Lande may be the worst talent/prospect evaluator in the business......in history.

I don't know about that. He's different, I'll give you that.

But I remember him being right on a player when everyone else disagreed. He had Roy Williams the safety dimed as overrated and a coverage liability while everyone else praised how awesome he'd be in the NFL.

Are you sure that was him or Dr. Z?

Maybe Dr. Z too. I didn't see that. But I know Roy wasn't in Lande's first round that year. Thought he was completely overrated.

If Lande was really was really up on that like Dr. Z was then props to him for sure.

His rankings make you scratch your head for sure . Still at 10 and Upshaw at 40 are just a couple I question .

Yeah, he's always against the grain with his projections.

I wouldn't be surprised if his projections are just as good as many of the others in the long run . There are several posters on this board that could put out quality ranking that would be respected if they had the media platform .

He's hit and miss like everyone else. There isn't a tremendously accurate draftnik. That beast does not exist. I've always compared it to hitting a baseball.

All those proclaiming RG3 like they are; I immediately start thinking about some of the great busts.
