Luck is my top QB, he is as NFL ready as any QB I've seen coming out of college. And he still has another year of eligibility after this year.

I watched Stanford play UCLA last night. Luck definitely looks like the real deal. He as the measurables and he also has 'it' when it comes to commanding the huddle. Yet, I'd still place that Locker kid from Washington at the top of the list.

BTW, big game for QB Locker - those rough, tuff Cornhuskers are visiting Seattle Saturday and it's on national TV (2:30 PM CST, ABC). Should be fun. |

WR Jarvis Williams NC State 6'4" 218 I'm also looking at the LBs this season who have size & speed. Everyone knows the 'usual suspects': OLB Travis Lewis* Oklahoma 6'2" 232 OLB Bruce Carter North Carolina 6'3" 230 OLB Greg Jones Michigan St 6'1" 235 OLB Dontay Moch Nevada 6'1" 240 OLB Von Miller Texas A&M 6'2" 240 OLB Quan Sturdivant North Carolina 6'2" 235 So, I thought I'd keep an eye on guys under the radar.... OLB Kelvin Sheppard LSU 6'2" 245 OLB Kendall Smith Florida St. 6'0" 235 OLB Stephen Franklin S. Illinois 6'0" 235 OLB Mario Addison Troy 6'2" 238 OLB Nate Williams N'Western 6'2" 235 OLB Kylan Robinson Miami 6'1" 235 OLB Jared Detrick Virginia 6'1" 235 OLB Sean Fobbs Akron 6'1" 240 OLB Dean DeLeone Arizona St. 6'2" 250 OLB Derrick Odom Memphis 6'3" 235 OLB Jeff Tarpinian Iowa 6'3" 235

And BTW how bad will the Huskers embarrass UT in Lincoln later this fall ? The Huskers were very impressive. |

Well, It is about time Nebraska beat UT in Lincoln considering all the Nebraska doesn't lose in Lincoln smack talk when UT joined the Big 12. It has been 77 years since Nebraska protected their house from the Horns. I still will go with my Horns being able to win this game with their defense.

Seriously, I believe that Ryan Mallett made himself the top QB prospect in this draft last weekend. Now all he has to do is keep it up for the rest of the season.

Since we're on the subject of QB's, I might get beat up on this board for saying this but I've been very impressed with Kellen Moore JR. from Boise St. The guy has a pistol release, makes fast decisions, and is impressing with his accuracy, not to mention knows how to avoid getting sacked. The biggest(and only) knock from what I've seen is his height being in the range of 6-0 to 6-1. But that sure didn't deter Drew Brees last year. He'd be a great 3rd rounder if he came out this year.

Is it too early to start looking at TEs? I wish I was joking. OD is not back. Dressen is okay, but isn't nearly the weapon OD was. Casey is small. Graham can't get off the milk carton. Anthony Hill is Joppru 2.0.
I expect TE to be a money position when AJ demands respect and LBs and safeties should start biting on play fakes to Foster. |

I think I disagree on need to draft more TE's soon, but I'd like to see a few more plays to TE as well.
I think Kubiak more or less follows seniority on the team first, so until Dreesen is hurt or fails to perform, we won't see much of Casey or Graham. We are 3-1 so not too frstrated right now. Some big passes to TE have worked. Depends on play calling I think, not skill of TE's. Casey and Graham both looked real good in preseason. till we see some 3 and 4 TE sets, likely will continue as is. Sure, OD, will be coming back a little more slowly than we expected as well. I guess draft best player available and hopefully not a TE for a couple years is my thinking for the moment. Right now, I'd probably go OL and then all defense, perhaps a great punter or kicker in late rounds. Last edited by Nconroe; 10-06-2010 at 02:00 AM. |

O.D. just needs to get his playing legs and he will be fine.

I think he has lost a step, and that he will be allowed to go as a FA after the season. We have enough depth to offset his leaving after the season.

Well, as usual we agree to dissagree. Daniels needs time to regain his timing and tempo with Matt that they had last year before he was hurt. Dreeson will be the one gone in my estimation, if anyone does.

October 9 2010 draftsite.com mock
I think this has been up for a while, but I have not posted it here.
20 Julio Jones* WR Alabama 6' 4" 210 52 Jeron Johnson S Boise State 5' 11" 194 84 Deunta Williams S UNC 6' 2" 205 116 Greg Romeus DE Pittsburgh 6' 6" 270 148 Mario Harvey ILB Marshall 6' 0" 245 180 Jonathan Nelson CB Oklahoma 5' 11" 180 211 Dan Dierking FB Purdue 5' 10" 186 Not sure I agree with a WR in the 1st, but if they let Jacoby leave via FA, then this is possible. Grabbing two young safeties is a possibility, but it means Wilson and Barber are gone. Then adding another young late round CB seems unlikely. And what is up with a 186 lbs FB? My Cherry Pick with us keeping Jones: 20 traded to NE for two 2nd round picks 38 Curtis Brown CB Texas 6' 1" 185 52 Ras-I Dowling CB/S Virginia 6' 2" 200 54 Sam Acho DE Texas 6' 3" 258 84 Mike Pouncey OG Florida 6' 5" 320 116 Colin McCarthy OLB Miami 6' 3" 240 148 Roy Helu Jr. RB Nebraska 6' 0" 215 180 Greg McElroy QB Alabama 6' 3" 220 211 Kai Forbath, PK, UCLA 6'0" 191 Three guys in the 2nd round, Brown is the new nickle, Dowling is moved to Safety, Acho is Barwin insurance. Pouncey is proving he is not an OC and he is a solid value at 84. Another young LB for ST and backup duty, a RB because you never have to many, a QB that just wins ever where he goes, and lastly our 1st drafted kicker.

That's interesting, defensible and maybe even a great idea. No fing way the team does anything like it, though.

If after the season they decide to hire a new HC then this is a possibility.

Quite true. I guess I'm stuck in the mindset that even if the team misses the playoffs again the same staff will be back for more next year or whenever they resume play.
