Gil Brant's pre-combine draft rankings

I'm admittedly not the deepest draft-follower either, but I try to keep up.

DT is certainly better than LT this year, but there are precious few safe bets at either position. Joeckel is a LT lock, but the dropoff is huge after him and the pool isn't very deep.

DT is much deeper without a doubt - a lot of similar talent across the board - so if you consider it that way, I guess it is a pretty good year there. Just not a lot of star quality, I guess.

So basically not as many 5-Star DT's as usual, but freakishly more 4-Star DT's than usual?
