The draft is only a week away so I feel it is a good time to release another big board. Considering the last big board was done in December many changes have happened. For instance, Andre Woodson was among the top 15 in the last installment. Now he probably won't even be a day one pick. So here is my second big board.
1.Jake Long T Michigan: Could be one of the safest picks in this draft after a great career at Michigan.
2.Glenn Dorsey DT LSU: Had a great pro day showing and could be a top 3 pick but durability is a concern.
3.Darren McFadden RB Arkansas: One of the most explosive players in the draft, McFadden should come in and make an immediate impact in the NFL.
4.Sedrick Ellis DT USC: Ellis is a force in the middle and will be a great additon to a team like the Bengals at number nine who have trouble stopping the run.
5.Chris Long DE Virginia: Long is another safe pick as he has a great motor and should be a force for years to come.
6.Matt Ryan QB Boston College:Has great mechanics and poise and is the closest it gets to a franchise quarterback in this draft class.
7.Vernon Gholston DE Ohio State: Had great workout numbers but is he the next Mike Mamula?
8.Branden Albert G/T Virginia: Albert was rising up the draft boards but his versatility now makes him a top ten pick.
9.Ryan Clady T Boise State: Has great potential but didn't play against much competition in college.
10.Rashard Mendenhall RB Illinois: Mendenhall has the potential to be a very good back. The only problem is if he is a one year wonder.
11.Chris Williams T Vanderbilt: Has great size and has lots of experience against top competiton. The only question is if he is physical enough.
12.Keith Rivers LB USC: A great leader and has the potential to be the next great linebacker from USC.
13.Leodis McKelvin CB Troy: One of the best cover corners in the draft and has added value with his skills as a returner. The only question is the lack of competition he played in college.
14.Jeff Otah T Pittsburgh: Is versatile as he has played both left and right tackle. Has the potential to be a pro bowl caliber player.
15.Jerod Mayo LB Tennessee: Has good speed and is versatile as he has played inside and out. Has also been very productive against top competion in college.
16.Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB Tennessee State: Great athlete who has excellent leaping ability and will make a huge impact in the return game. The main question is how will he play against top competition.
17.Devin Thomas WR Michigan State: Has great size and isn't afraid to catch the ball in traffic and will also help in the return game. The only question is if he is a one year wonder.
18.Derrick Harvey DE Florida: Is a good athlete who has the potential to move to linebacker in a 3-4 scheme.
19.Jonathan Stewart RB Oregon: If not for concerns for his toe injury, would be a top 15 pick.
20.Phillip Merling DE Clemson: Has great size and a motor that is always running. Most teams will be scared off by the sports hernia surgery he needed.
21.Mike Jenkins CB USF: Has good coverage skills along with great closing speed. The only problem is that he sometimes plays down to the level of the competition.
22.Felix Jones RB Arkansas: Has great speed and finds the hole fast but would be best used complemented with a hard nosed runner like Marion Barber.
23.Kenny Phillips S Miami(FL):Has great size and moves pretty well. The only problem is that his production dropped when Brandon Meriweather went to the NFL.
24.Chris Johnson RB East Carolina: Has fantastic speed as he ran a 4.24 at the combine. Is a good receiver and is a excellent return man. Could also be used as a 3rd down back.
25.Limas Sweed WR Texas: Has great size and makes lots of acrobatic catches. The only problem is that he has a history of injuries.
