Mike Mayock's Top Prospects at each position
 

This is interesting, and somewhat startling a week before the Combine starts:

I was going along and nodding my head until I got to DE. He has Michael Bennett over Michael Johnson and I'm not sure what to think.

Also, in his OLB ranking he has Maybin over Everette Brown. That is quite the controversy. Is Maybin that good or Brown that bad? He also has Cushing above them both, so I'll assume that is because he has more experience playing with his hand off the ground.

At S, having Delmas, Johnson, and then Chung is not the usual pecking order.

Then at CB he has Darius Butler over D.J. Moore. This is a guy who played DB and is a "draft" expert. I think I need to find more tape on Butler, because Moore is my top CB in the draft.

Yup I was doing the same thing, and then I saw Tyson Jackson rated # 1, that did it for me, stopped reading right there.

He had Mike Goodson as his 5th best RB, I do not even have the guy being drafted. Slow RBs who fall on first contact tend to be worth a dime a dozen.

I had to look him up. Looks like a malcontent. Dissed RC Slocum and Sherman, so you have to wonder if it really is him against the world.

I'm an Aggie, and Goodson has not developed at all since getting to A&M, I do not see him as as pro player currently.

I think you are going to like Butler the more you watch him.

I appreciate Mayoc breaking-out the 4-3 guys who will be 3-4 OLBs at the next level from the 4-3 DEs who will continue as 4-3 prospects in the NFL. But rather than complete the clarification, he then he muddies the water by lumping the tweeners together with the Currys & Cushings (4-3 OLBs) of the Draft.

Yeah, they should probably just have a category entitled "speed rushers". That would limit the confusion.

I have no problem with that at all. I have my doubts about Everette Brown.

I saw the same things that you guys did. But I wanted to bring it to the board anyway, just to be sure I wasn't the only one going-----What!?

this is by far the best list i have ever seen. clearly has done his reseach and is not basing his ranking on the composite of other people's rankings

Yet there is something to be said for consensus.;)
