MadDog's Post Senior Bowl Big 100 Board

MadDog49er · 2013-01-27T09:18:30-08:00

The male version of the Holiday Season is in full bloom with the playoff and Super Bowl games, and the upcoming NFL Draft. Here is my first stab at the Big 100 Board, which will increase, as always, as time passes. My goal is to have a Big 150 board before the Combine and a Big 200 right after. This Big Board is NOT A MOCK DRAFT. Sorry for having to put in bold for the vets who know how this works. Mock drafts are silly beyond the first handful of picks, since trading is a major part of the whole process. In fact, more than 1/3 of all picks will be traded, so it is better to project an area where a player might be selected, rather than an exact team at an exact spot, which is like plowing the sea. In a perfect world, I would hit on all players at all slots, like Chris Culliver at number 80 two years ago. That is not my goal, but rather a projected area where the player should fall. With that disclaimer, as OTC will surely put on his postings, here is the Big 100. If my Excel Spreadsheet has played tricks on me, and you see Matt Barkley playing center for Rutgers, please let me know. That would obviously be hilarious...and inaccurate. I strive to spell correctly, so please help. The list of Jonathans, Johnthans, Johnathans still has my head spinning. Finally, please add feedback, as I may be insane to leave off a favorite player or two. I will explain my rationale. Cheers. 1 Luke Joeckel Texas A&M OT 2 Jarvis Jones Georgia OLB 3 Star Lotulelei Utah DT 4 Geno Smith West Virginia QB 5 Sheldon Richardson Missouri DT 6 Bjoern Werner Florida St DE/OLB 7 Dee Milliner Alabama CB 8 Eric Fisher Central Michigan OT 9 Dion Jordan Oregon DE/OLB 10 Lane Johnson Oklahoma OT 11 Chance Warmack Alabama G 12 Sharrif Floyd Florida DT 13 Barkevious Mingo LSU OLB 14 Ezekiel Ansah BYU DE/OLB 15 Keenan Allen Cal WR 16 Johnathan Hankins Ohio St DT 17 Johnthan Banks Mississippi St CB 18 Kenny Vaccaro Texas S 19 Jesse Williams Alabama DT 20 Jonathan Cooper North Carolina G 21 Xavier Rhodes Florida St CB 22 Datone Jones UCLA DE 23 Alex Okafor Texas DE 24 Alec Ogletree Georgia LB 25 Matt Elam Florida S 26 Desmond Trufant Washington CB 27 Damontre Moore Texas A&M DE 28 Mike Glennon NC State QB 29 Eddie Lacy Alabama RB 30 Zach Ertz Stanford TE 31 DJ Fluker Alabama OT 32 Tyler Eifert Notre Dame TE 33 Cordarrelle Patterson Tennessee WR 34 EJ Manuel Florida St QB 35 Tyler Wilson Arkansas QB 36 Kawann Short Purdue DT 37 DeAndre Hopkins Clemson WR 38 Matt Barkley USC QB 39 Sam Montgomery LSU DE/OLB 40 Jordan Poyer Oregon St CB 41 Markus Wheaton Oregon St WR 42 Giovani Bernard North Carolina RB 43 John Jenkins Georgia DT 44 Quinton Patton Louisiana Tech WR 45 David Amerson NC State CB 46 Kevin Minter LSU LB 47 Manti Te'o Notre Dame LB 48 Tavon Austin West Virginia WR 49 Robert Woods USC WR 50 Eric Reid LSU S 51 Sylvester Williams North Carolina DT 52 Phillip Thomas Fresno State S 53 David Quessenberry San Jose St G/OT 54 Stepfan Taylor Stanford RB 55 Jonathan Cyprien Florida International S 56 Vance McDonald Rice TE 57 Larry Warford Kentucky G 58 Khaseem Greene Rutgers LB 59 Aaron Dobson Marshall WR 60 Terrance Williams Baylor WR 61 Arthur Brown Kansas St LB 62 Travis Kelce Cincinnati TE 63 Robert Alford Southeastern Louisiana CB 64 Brandon Williams Missouri Southern St DT 65 Akeem Spence Illinois DT 66 Leon McFadden San Diego St CB 67 Marquise Goodwin Texas WR 68 Landry Jones Oklahoma QB 69 Christine Michael Texas A&M RB 70 Barrett Jones Alabama C/G 71 Andre Ellington Clemson RB 72 Montee Ball Wisconsin RB 73 Tyler Bray Tennessee QB 74 Logan Ryan Rutgers CB 75 Travis Frederick Wisconsin C/G 76 Justin Hunter Tennessee WR 77 Margus Hunt SMU DE 78 David Bakhtiari Colorado OT 79 Ryan Nassib Syracuse QB 80 Oday Aboushi Syracuse G/OT 81 Malliciah Goodman Clemson DE 82 Jonathan Franklin UCLA RB 83 Joseph Randle Oklahoma State RB 84 Da'Rick Rogers Tennessee Tech WR 85 Zavier Gooden Missouri LB 86 Tavarres King Georgia WR 87 Mike Gilleslee Florida RB 88 Terron Armstead Arkansas Pine Bluff OT 89 Sio Moore Connecticut LB 90 BW Webb William and Mary CB 91 JJ Wilcox Georgia Southern S 92 TJ McDonald USC S 93 Cornelius Washington Georgia DE/OLB 94 Chris Faulk LSU OT 95 Kyle Long Oregon G/OT 96 Dion Sims Michigan St TE 97 Kevin Reddick North Carolina LB 98 Brian Schwenke Cal C 99 Jordan Mills Louisiana Tech OT 100 Bacarri Rambo Georgia S

Okay I'll be the one to ask: Do you have Te'o slipping due to his scandal/publicity, or purely due to football and what you see transpiring throughout the process? I think this is the first time I've seen him not in the 10-20 range.

Using this list a projected first three rounds for the niners would be interesting:
Tyler Eifert TE
Brandon Williams DT/NT/DE
Bacarri Rambo S

I did have a question. It appears that Ezekiel Ansah was revealed at the Senior Bowl to be a raw project at best. Any reasons to continue to have him at #14?
Thanks MD

I'm surprised Geno Smith is so high on all the boards. Dude struggled for the last half of the year. I saw him play three times, and honestly he played like s**t. He struggled passing the ball... I guess its because of his potential

How does his speed/athleticism compare to Alex Smith?

You have Donte Jones at 22 and Damontre Moore at 27.

That just seems too low for Moore.

It is that a mistake?

Wondering the same thing myself, what about Moore dont you like that he has dropped so far? Allot of services are pretty high on him.

Good point about the apparent decline in Smith's game in the last half of the season.

But, as I understand it this list is not a ranking of a player by talent. It is a projection of where a player will be drafted.

For, example I do not think of the quarterbacks in this draft are 1st round talents, but it is almost certain that some team is going to reach for a QB.

I could see Geno Smith being drafted in the top 10.

The Raiders are enamored with Smith.

Appreciate your efforts as always, MadDog. In regards to your top 20, I would like your reasoning behind the following three prospects.............Dion Jordan, Sharif Floyd and Ziggy Ansah. Jordan was especially surprising to me in the top 10. Your thoughts.......

Do you think the Niners need more help at NT or DE?

Who would be our best choice for NT?

Who do you see as the most likely replacement for Justin Smith in this group? Is there anyone even close?

If he is available Cordarrelle Patterson should be our pick. However, I bet he blows up the combine and is off the board by our pick

Is Trufant that high on everyone's boards? I didn't think he was really a stand out.

He's the kind of raw project player I would love to have after the 3rd, but he'll get drafted too high based on potential.
