2011 NFL Draft

Oops forgot to rank mallet. I would add him to the end anyway.
6. Mallet

My QB predictions from this class down the road are..

1. locker
2. Dalton
3. Gabbert
4. Mallett
5. Kaepernick
6. Ponder




SS what's the latest on VY?

Nothing new

^ I saw an article where CJ28 said he thinks VY will be back so I was just curious

Re: Trading into the lower half of the1st round.

I would much rather get Stanzi w/ a hypothetical 3rd/4th rounder then Dalton or Ponder at the bottom of the first.

My QB predictions from this class down the road are..I can predict with shocking accuracy after the draft when I know which team they get drafted by.

:laughing- Very good 30gut. :) Just out of curiosity though, what were your thoughts on Bradford after getting drafted by the Rams? I respect your posts and am curious about your thoughts on his future.

Highly unlikely, but I mean what else is CJ going to say?

Concerns about Phil Taylor.. has bones growing together in his feet, they can't correct it, it's a pain tolerance issue

Teams are red-flagging DT Phil Taylor's feet - CBSSports.com (http://rob-rang.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/13682485/28589722)

I think at this point I'd pass on the guy

True

My bold prediction with this qb class and their rankings in the NFL.
1. Dalton
2. Ponder
3. Locker
4. Gabbert
5. Newton

Their draft order might be the complete 180 degree opposite. That's how bold this prediction is.

Bold or not I'm with you. Everyone is down playing Dalton like he's never going to be a starter. They say he can't run, yet all video shows him running well on designed QB sneaks. They say he has no pocket awareness, yet he knew when to escape the pass rush and make something out of nothing. They say he can't throw on the run, yet he did throw a lot from roll outs. Plus he's smart.

“I don't know how good he's going to be,” Rhome says. “But I tell you what, I'd put my money on him. I was there, and I don't mean to use Peyton Manning as an example, but I’m going to use him as an example, I was there on his pro day and I guarantee you, Peyton Manning didn't throw the ball any better than this kid. Maybe this kid threw the ball better.”

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh says he likes what Dalton has done in all of his games from high school to college. Harbaugh calls Dalton a him a winner.
