SunDevil's Big Board

SunDevilNiner79 · 2011-11-26T11:49:59-08:00

My big board is not a prediction of where players go, it is my value of the players. For example, I don't expect DeCastro to go in the top 10, maybe he does or maybe he doesn't. My ranking just reflects how good I think of a player he will make in the NFL compared to others. 1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford 2. Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor 3. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State 4. Riley Rieff, LT, Iowa 5. Mat Kalil, LT, USC 6. Quinton Couples, DE, North Carolina 7. Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina 8. Michael Brockers, DT, LSU 9. David DeCastro, OG, Stanford 10. Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU 11. Trent Richardson, RB Alabama 12. Fletcher Cox, DT, Miss St 13. Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech 14. Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame 15. Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama 16. Lamar Miller, RB, Miami 17. Colby Fleener, TE, Stanford 18. Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois 19. Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia 20. Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford 21. Vinny Curry, DE Marshall 22. Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis 23. Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama 24. Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin 25. Bruce Irvin, OLB West Virginia 26. Mark Barron, S, Alabama 27. Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama 28. Nick Perry, OLB, USC 29. Devon Still, DT, Penn State 30. Chase Minnifield, CB, Virginia 31. Kirk Cousins, QB Michigan State 32. Andre Branch, DE Clemson 33. Stephen Gilmore, CB, South Carolina 34. Luke Kuechly, MLB, Boston College 35. Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin 36. Jerel Worthy, DT Michigan State 37. Nate Potter, OT Boise State 38. Chris Givens, WR Wake Forest 39. Kendall Reyes, DT Uconn 40. A.J. Jenkins, WR Illinois 41. Tank Carder, OLB TCU 42. Rueben Randle, WR LSU 43. Jared Crick, DE Nebraska 44. Zach, Brown, OLB, North Carolina 45. Brandon Thompson, DT Clemson 46. Kendall Wright, WR Baylor 47. Alfonzo Denard, CB Nebraska 48. Alameda Ta'amu, DT, Washington 49. Mychael Kendricks, OLB, Cal 50. Isaiah Pead, RB Cincinnati 52. Doug Martin, RB Boise State 52. Zebrie Sanders, OT Florida State 53. LaMichael James, RB Oregon 54. Chandler Jones, DE, Syracuse 55. Ben Jones, C Georgia 56. Alshon Jeffery, WR South Carolina 57. Brandon Wheeden,QB Oklahoma State 58. Brandon Boykin, CB Georgia 59. Laderius Green, TE UL-Laffayette 60. Josh Chapman, DT, Alabama 61. Cyrus Gray, RB Texas A&M 62. Case Hayward, CB, Vanderbilt 63. Chase Thomas, OLB Stanford 64. Don't'a Hightower, MLB, Alabama

He is, see my note at the end.....

I cut and pasted from my list on my computer that I had started last year (when Luck was a junior).

Luck has already stated he will go to the NFL after this year, but he could always return to college. He has a year remaining. The question is whether he wants to go to Indi. I'll take a wild guess and state that someone inside Team Luck will have a long conversation with the Colts about their plans for Luck and Manning before any final decision is made.

I can see this happening for sure

Peter Konz fractured his ankle and there was a report that he might stay an extra year to get healthy. He is a junior that would be a great addition to the middle of the Niners line.

33. Dwight Jones, WR, North Carolina
34. Chris Polk*, RB, Washington

Going off of your rankings these would be my initial targets

and why would be we be targeting a RB (Polk) in the first 2 rounds at all?

oh ok, I just can't see us spending a 2nd rounder on our 3rd string RB

where we would likely be picking (20+ range IMO) my #1 hope would be that DeCastro fell to us, otherwise I'd take a look at CB Jenkins, WR Jeffery, C Konz, S Barron based on this board

Would love to get Courtney Upshaw to upgrade our depth at OLB, but that probably won't happen. Like the idea of getting a good safety who can cover in Mark Barron or Markelle Martin as well . Interior line would be the call if either Konz or Decastro was there in the late 20's.

I don't think Jim would want Jenkins because of his off the field issues. DeCastro will probably go prior to our pick, Konz could be the same problem. Jeffery is hard to project I've seen him high and low, his combine numbers will give a better feel. Barron is a strong possibility to be available late but Martin might be the better athlete.
