I was using an example

Or better yet, the best way to do this is analyze each top player for each position and so on and rank according to that.

Desmond King is a name that keeps popping up - and I don't get it as he got used in Mobile...

Is this the kid who many scouts think will be re aligned to play the SS position (due to his lack of burst/explosion at CB) at the NFL level?

Last fake draft I saw had Foster as the #2 pick...

I'm doing this but with a short list of each position. As workouts and combines will bring in more names that they would prefer. When combines/workouts begin I will have to do a new ranking. I'm going 5 of each for defense positions and oline and 3 of each for the TE, RB, WR positions(even if not needed). Any names shown low in combine scores taken off the list.

Priority FA? LMAO is it to early?

Actually there is one RB I really like that is getting absolutely no chatter which is a good thing. Needs some coaching. In a year on the PS you might have found yourself a steal. He is one of my top diamond in the rough players.

Chris Carson RB Oklahoma State 6005 215 4.52 #32 Sr
Square peg round hole? Great power, determination and athleticism. Solid option out of the backfield 5.8 YPC on 115 attempts during his three years. A spread offense may have not been the smartest choice for him. May not be an every down back but has the potential to be a solid part of a rotation.

Two rumors from WalterFootball...

"Sources with the Saints say their first-round pick might come down to the best available player at edge rusher or cover corner." - Charlie Campbell

"While it is very early in the process, here are five teams that are showing a lot of interest in emerging Connecticut safety Melifonwu: Seattle Seahawks, Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, and Carolina Panthers." - Charlie Campbell

Scary when a guy goes from 3/4/5/6 to 2/3 prospect. Did he really answer all the questions in one week? I am good with a solid 3rd at this point. A second? not sure if I am ready to go there yet
