2012 draft top 5's

 These are my top 5's for the 2012 draft I will update this every week up untill the 2012 Draft



QB's
1.Andrew Luck, Stanford Seen as the next Peyton Manning Worth the 1st overall easily.
2.Robert Griffin 111, Baylor I love this kid, so much talent, great arm, good accuracy, and of course the duel threat possibility. One of my favs of this draft
3.Lance Jones, Oklahoma he is a strong-armed Big QB. He is sound in his drop  back and working through his progressions to find an open receiver.
4. Nick Foles Arizona Great accuracy but needs to get better through his progressions as well as avoiding that check down route.
5. Kirk Cousins, Michigan State Good arm and good game manager but the lack of attempts he is getting is hurting his stock
(I hate Matt Barkley)(he will be bad just trust me)(USC)
HB
1.Trent Richardson Alabama Good power back. Keeps center of gravity  and pad level low and does a decent job in the back field. Is by far the number one back in this years draft
2. Chris Polk Washinton Good back but his stock is hurt by the lack of elite defenses he has faced thus far. We will know more after the Nebraska game
3. LaMichael James Oregon Scat back that's great in the catching game but he has been posting bad bad number lately and that has hurt his stock he is gonna have to start posting some big games or else his stock will see more of a fall.
4. Cyrus Gray Texas A&m He has the ability to turn the corner on exterior runs and has a fabulous burst to get through the line and into the second level. A good Third round prospect with good production he could see the second round.
5. Edwin Baker Mich St Baker has averaged 5.8 yards per carry through the first two games of the season but they split carries so that hurts his yards and his draft stock.

WR
1. Justin Blackmon Oklahoma St. His production is blowing everyone away he shows great speed and the ability to go up and get the ball. I put him a head of Alshon cause he looks faster and has better production.
2. Alshon Jeffery South Carolina They just don't throw to him enough but he is a great talent and worth a top 10-15 pick
3. Mohamed Sanu Rutgers Has showed great route running, hands, and ability to make that spectacular catch. If he keeps up this level of production he could go in the middle of the first round or at the least the late first round.
4. Michel Floyd Notre dame he has been unstop able this year and is on the rise.
5.Juron Criner Arizona Great home run ability but takes a hit cause he as taken an injury.

OL
1.Matt Kalil OT USC All you need to know is this  kid pushed Tyron smith to the right tackle, the 9th overall pick in last years draft
2.Johnathan Martin OT Stanford He dominated his division thus far in both run blocking and pass protection for Andrew Luck. Martin has the pass-protection tools to be a Pro Bowl tackle. Don't be surprised if Martin puts up a fight to be the first tackle taken.
3.Riley Reiff OT Iowa Very good but has not been tested much as of yet we will play as the season goes on.
4. Mike Brewer C Ohio St. Best center in the class, good anchor, very soild overall lineman.
5. Kelechi Osemele G Iowa St. Is currently at LT but projects better at guard. He currently has an injury but is playing through it and doing a damn good job I really like this kid.

DE
1. Jonathan Massaquoi Troy Lead the NCAA in sacks last year at 14.5 if we keep seeing production like Massaqoi will shoot up your draft boards i'm just predicting it now.
2. Brandon Jenkins Florda St. Great pass rusher could play 4-3 in the ground or a OLB in a 3-4 Defense.  Brandon looks leaner and meaner this year i'm expecting big thing from him.
3. Quinton Coples  North Carolina I'm lower on him cause of production if he steps it up ill shut up and shot him up my boards. Coples has a phenomenal skill set for the NFL. If Coples can come close to that level of production, he should be a top-five or ten pick in the up coming draft.
4. Donte Paige-Moss North Carolina The heavy rotation set is starting to sadly hurt his draft stock even though he is a great talent.
5. Devin Taylor South Carolina Taylor is fast and athletic and with clowny next to him drawing attention his production will rise.

DT
1. Jared Crick Nebraska He was able to keep up his production without Suh, even after slow start. If he can keep his progress going like the send of the season last year you will see him move up Draft Boards.
2. Jerel Worthy Mich St. Worthy has a good get-off and is disruptive and as a result he is starting to see alot more double teams if he is able to up his production even now he could see his stock rise, I see him as a bit better Corey Lugiet who has been doing pretty well this off-season in the NFL.
3. Marcus Forston Miami Great talent but got caught up in that scandal and is now missing playing time we will see what he does when he comes of the suspention
4. Kawann Short Purdue Kawann seems to be the next good D-lineman coming out of Purdue.
5. Brandon Thompson Clemson Brandon is a big plugger at 6 ft 2in and 310 pounds and could play 2 gap or NT in the Pros, we will have to see how he does this season with out Bowers there.

MLB (All first round talents)
1. Vontaze Burfict Arizona St.  4 Sacks, Plenty o tackles, great production And plays with heart and intensity I LOVE THIS kid if I had to relate him to a player I would say Ray Lewis who ever gets him. P.S. Great Size and speed and power he is a damned heat seeking missile!
2. Luke Kuechly Boston College a 17 tackle game an a 19 tackle game great coverage he is fantastic and has great instincts with Manti Te'o looking a bit lost lately I've moved this kid up.
3.  Manti Te'o Notre Dame 133 tackles, 9.5 tackles for a loss, one sack and one forced fumble last year. Te'o has the size, speed and tackling technique to adapt quickly to the NFL but has looked a little lost thus far this season especially against a Duel threat quarterback.
4. Tank Carder TCU He could be a ILB or  an OLB in the pros after looking a bit slow in his first start against Baylor he has finally started to look like he was projected to be.
5. Dont'a Hightower Alabama Dont'a Hightower is a physical, defender. He takes on and destroys O-linemen often without difficulty. The intelligent Hightower is the signal caller for the Crimson Tide and does a damn god job quarterbacking that defense.

OLB
1. Nigel Bradham Florda St. inconsistant but when he is on the ball he is the best one out of this year's crop that's why I put him atop my list.
2. Zach Brown North Carolina Probably the most consitantantly good player that plays with great power speed and intensity. I see this player going first out of any of these OLB even tho i dont think he has the most potential.
3. Sean Spence Miami Another Scandle recepient and is serving a sepention we will how he does afterwards.
4. Keenan Robinson Keenan is an underrated player in my book. He plays fast and physical and with a big season he could push into the late first early second round.
5. Travis Lewis Oklhoma Lewis is going to have a decline in production as a senior because he got injured this preseason. it will keep him out for a while when Lewis is back he needs to play lights-out.

CB
1. Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama Dre is an agressive defender with great size at 6 ft 3 and looks to be a top 10 pick in the up coming draft.
2. Cliff Harris,Oregon Cliff is a electric playmaker with 6 INT's last year and doubles as a talented punt returner. He needs to add some weight but does have great speed... Both on and off the field ;)
3. Stephon Gilmore,South Carolina He totaled three interceptions, three sacks, and six tackles for a loss while recording 79 tackles for the season. and is possibly the best run defending CB in this class.
4. Chase Minnifield,Virgina He broke out last year with 6 INTS and could see a drop in that number cause teams will now start to avoid him, he also has  NFL bloodlines with I'm a big believer in.
5. Morris Claiborne,LSU He recorded five interceptions with 37 tackles and six passes defensed last year across from Patrick Peterson but his is not much worse than him and could easily see the first round with  a good year.


S
1. Mark Barron SS Alabama He has done great job so far this season and looks like the best player on Alabama's defense.
2. Ray Ray Armstrong SS Miami The best safety in the class but I put him down cause of the suspension.
3. Kenny Tate Everything Maryland he is now at outside linebacker but is still the captain and signal. He is a very fast player and plays with great intensity and power.
4. Robert Lester S Alabama He is a ball hawk and it could be hard for him to duplicate production but if he does he could go if the first round.
5. Eddie Whitley, FS I'm putting him here cause he could vary well be the first Free safety off the board. 80 tackles, four tackles for a loss, six passes broken up and two interceptions in his first year as the starter we will see how he does this year.
