Does a 'BPA Draft' Indicate a Bright Future?
It seems to me that a BPA Draft is a good indicator that a team is on the ascencion. Without any glaring holes, a team is free to take the best player on the board and improve the overall team's performance.
I think we're going to have a BPA draft. Our O-line has been playing a lot better, and if we sign a RT in FA, we will be totally free to go BPA with our first three picks. If we sign a FA corner and move Nate to Safety, we are REALLY REALLY set for a great BPA draft.
Imagine taking Rolando McClain with Carolina's pick and then stealing Dez Bryant or CJ Spiller with our other first rounder.
With our second rounder, we can choose between OT Trent Williams, WR Golden Tate (If we don't take Dez or CJ), G Mike Iupati, DE/OLB Carlos Dunlap, or even Brandon Spikes if he falls (and we didn't take McClain).
This will be a great draft, but it will be a historic draft if we plug our 1-2 moderate holes in FA first.
Williams is a 1st rounder, Tate could be a 1st rounder, Dunlap is a 1st rounder, Spikes should be a 1st rounder.
Clements will stay at CB, the idea of moving him to FS is a webzone idea only.
Regarding the O Line...we need a RT and LOG. If we can sign two great FA's to fill those needs fantastic. But realistically getting just 1 will be what hopefully happens.
Williams -- I've been seeing a lot more mocks with him in the second round, such as Walter Football.
Tate -- Will probably end up a second rounder
Dunlap -- dropping like a stone. 2nd rounder, maybe even 3rd (like Michael Johnson did last year).
Spikes -- Walter Football has him in the 2nd like Rey Maualuga.
Clements - They say a corner with all the tools other than elite speed makes a great safety (Lott, Woodson). And I believe Len Pasquarelli from ESPN reported it was going to happen.
Yes -- one FA is good, but two is great.
Rule 1 on Walter Football....don't trust everything you read.
Williams -- I've been seeing a lot more mocks with him in the second round, such as Walter Football.

He will go in the first round
Tate -- Will probably end up a second rounder
2009 WALTER CAMP FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN
2009 BILETNIKOFF AWARD WINNER
Could slip to the 2nd round but is a 1st round talent
Dunlap -- dropping like a stone. 2nd rounder, maybe even 3rd (like Michael Johnson did last year).
2009 AP ALL-SEC FIRST TEAM
Johnson fell because people questioned his heart and motor, Dunlap does not have that problem. Dunlap made a very stupid mistake so its more of a character concern at this point. Once the combine comes around and he posts great numbers he will be into the 1st no questions asked.
Spikes -- Walter Football has him in the 2nd like Rey Maualuga.

2009 ALL-SEC FIRST TEAM (COACHES)
In a year when the ILB class is VERY weak Spikes is the #2 ILB behind McClain. Spikes should post good numbers in the combine as well and comes from good bloodlines. Spikes could fall but I expect him to be a mid to late 1st round pick pretty easily.
Clements has said he is a CB and that's where he wants to play. I think we would trade/release him before we switch him to FS.
In the future go HERE for prospect ratings and projected draft placement.
Sorry.. but any site that has Taylor Mays as the 3rd best prospect in the draft has little credibility as far as I'm concerned.
3rd best prospect for Seniors, and draft scout is one of the best sites available.
Thats your opinion and thats great. I just dont think its good at all.
OK.. Seniors then. Taylor Mays 3rd and ahead of Spiller? Uh.. NO. He also has McCoy 11th and Tebow 13th ahead of players like Iupati, Gilyard, and Hughes. Are they going by college fame or real NFL potential? Just ridiculous ratings.
Finally... they have the Niners selecting Ricky Sapp in rd 1. Really???????
I said for prospect ratings and projected draft placement. I never said anything about their mocks, did I? Without knowing all juniors that declare any mock is not going to be very correct.
Considering Tebow will most likely go in the first and McCoy could as well what's wrong with that? Gilyard will be a late 1st round pick or early 2nd, 22 is pretty accurate at this point. Iupati at 17 is fitting for a OG. I never said they were 100% perfect but they are usually more accurate then everybody else. If you're happy with WalterFootball please keep going to them, if you feel they are the most accurate site then use them.
Why don't you post your top 32 seniors since your knowledge is far supreme.
