Nate Top College Player Position Breakdown

[BrickBanland]

Start with the running backs.

1. Jahvid Best - Cal (Jr.) An explosive talent. Speed, receiving, a returner in teams, and can run between the tackles. A great electrifying player.
2. Jonathan Dwyer - Ga. Tech (Jr.) A downhill bruising back. Good lean. Also a huge receiving threat.
3. Kendall Hunter - Okl St. (Jr.) A short back but a slasher with receiving skills. Slashes with some wiggle.
4. Charles Scott - LSU (Sr.) A mauler / pile mover.
5. Evan Royster - Penn St. (Jr.) Does not possess great speed but has great vision, knows when and how to read blocks. Good receiver and pass blocker, very well balanced. Reminds me of Emmitt Smith, the college player.
6. Demarco Murray - Okl (Jr.) Okl. has a thunder and lightning duo. This cat is ligthning. Any defender fears this back in open space.
7. CJ Spiller - Clemson (Sr.) Explosive speed. Can catch, pass black and also adds value as a returner.
8. Legarrette Blount - Oregon (Sr.) Big power, bone-bruising back.
9. Jacquizz Rodgers - Oregon St. (So.) Maurice Jones 2.0. Saved his best game vs. USC (the nations top run defense). Had 186 yards against that great run defense in '08.
10. Chris Brown - Okl. (Sr.) Thunder in the Okl. offense, he is the slasher type of back.

What about quarterbacks? And why does it seem you always leave WV off all your lists?

What about quarterbacks? And why does it seem you always leave WV off all your lists?

I like Noel Devine but the kid is all speed, he isn't near Steve Slaton. Devine is 5'8 170, Slaton was 5'9 190 - 200. Slaton was a great back who could run between the tackles with a good lean combined with his speed, he could also run hard inside the 10 yard line. Devine is a different entity, faster than Slaton but arm tackled very easily and struggles in pass pro, only 4 TDs during 08, all on long runs cuz the kid can't slash his way inside the end-zone from the 10 yard line in.

Don't worry Shag, WVU has an offensive lineman who should crack this.

Your a turd!!

Gawd....Unfortunately for KingBubba.com this kid is ranked no.1 in my positional breakdown....I can't wait to hear the bragging...A great crop of QBs

1. Sam Bradford - Oklahomo. (Jr.) Can make every NFL throw, most NFL ready. Great accuracy. Mature in reading a defense. The only knock on Bradford will coherently be adjusting to a under center offense in the NFL.

2. Colt McCoy - Texas. (Sr.) Will use his running ability to buy himself time to throw the rock. Fits more of a intermediate to vertical passing game. Incredibly accurate in the short passing game....aka...Tom Brady.

3.Tim Tebow - Florida (Sr.) A proven winner. A QB who can win "the big game". Tim benefits more from a "gimmick" offense more than the first two QBs but I think he could translate into a fine NFL QB. His athletic ability and size could make him a Donavon McNabb clone. He will bring a running back presence into the QB position. As a matter in fact, I suspect a NFL team will use Tebow's production to correlate into a first down machine during short yardage situations. Got Wildcat?

4. Jevan Sneed - Ole Miss (Jr.) Strongest arm in this top group. Smart Player and led the Rebels to a victory over Florida in 08. Could work on his accuracy.

5. Tim Hiller - Western Michigan (Sr.) Great size and arm. Can make most NFL throws. Could follow other MAC players such as. Ben Roethlisberger, Chad Pennington,and Byron Leftwich.

6. Dan LeFevour - Central Michigan (Sr.) Another MAC QB who produces in a high powered offense. More athletic than Hiller but doesn't have his arm. However, can only read one side of the field but uses his athletic ability to buy himself time. Not afraid to tuck it and run.

:D

<------ iz happy :)

I actually agree with those picks, too... except I dunno about Hiller or LeFevour... I'd hafta go do some research

[Shag]

Not sure on Tebow, I read alot of articles saying he wouldn't make a good quarterback in the nfl but would probably be better as a TE. I thinks he's a good QB, and where do these experts get off saying someone who won two national championships and a heisman as a QB wouldn't make it as one in the NFL?

Tebow has a weird delivery when he throws the ball but so did other past QBs. Decent arm, size, running ability will make him intriguing. Usually, most players have the physical ability but ultimately they need to become fixated on the mental aspect of the game.

[Shag]

I also agree on your last two QB'S Hiller and LeFevour, They were fun to watch last year and pretty much fly under the radar because of being in the MAC. But hey the best QB ever came from there, Big Ben!!! SAY IT!!

[DFender]

Gah. Big Ben.

[Shag]

Gah. Big Ben.

:fu2: :lol:

[DFender]

I'm hatin' lol

[BrickBanland]

1. Dez Bryants - Okl. St. (Jr.) Gets out of breaks quickly, can create separation. Runs great routes. Strong, physical, can beat the bump, great leaping ability.

2. Arrelious Benn - Illinois (Jr.) Big and physically imposing. Like Bryant, he can get out of his breaks quickly and create separation physically. Immense with YAC.

3. Brandon Lafell - LSU (Sr.) Quick feet for a big, physical receiver. Separates using his size. Is comparable to Dwayne Bowe.

4. Damian Williams - USC (Jr.) Meticulous when it comes to running a route. Very precise. 10 catches -162 yards - 1 TD in Rose Bowl.

5. Jacoby Ford - Clemson (Jr.) Good body control. Smaller (5-10) than the top four but the biggest speed / vertical threat. Track star who had 112 yards and a TD in bowl game. Rising.

6. Marshawn Gilyard - Cincinnati (Jr.) Lanky and thin but a solid route runner. Doesn't posses great speed but has a penchant to find the hole in any zone coverage.

7. Eric Decker - Minnesota (Sr.) Lacks straight line speed but the best route runner in NC2A.

8. Dezmon Briscoe - Kanasas (Jr.) Big wide out with good body control. Lacks deep speed.

9. DeAndre Brown - Southern Miss. (So.) Huge (6'6, 230 lbs.). Can run as a deep threat honing in on making DBs look silly. Great vertical jump. Lacks some route running but he is only a soph. Recovering from broken leg in bowl game.

10. Jordan Shipley - Texas (Sr.) Colt McCoy's roommate. Consistent, good returner, McCoy's main go to receiver.

[DFender]

The Sooners receivers need experience... haha... but there's hope in Tennell and Broyles. I think... we'll hafta see.
