SteVo+ 3,702 Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) The biggest year this year? QB: Andy Dalton. He'll be the only one of this class who starts besides Cam, who will suck. RB: Daniel Thomas. As of now he's on top of the Dolphins depth chart. He'll get a lot of carries. WR: Julio Jones. The Falcons drafted him to win now; they'll get him involved. TE: Lance Kendricks. Not only should he get playing time, but he has Bradford throwing to him, whereas a guy like Kyle Rudolph has Christian Ponder throwing to him. OL: Gabe Carimi. Just love the way this kid's game should translate to the NFL. DE: Brooks Reed. Will technically be a OLB in Houston's 3-4 but I interpret "DE" as pass rusher. DT: Marcell Dareus. Again, slight misnomer as he'll be a 3-4 DE but next to Kyle Williams he'll have a good season. LB: Martez Wilson. Don't know how he fell so far. CB: Prince Amukamara. I still say Peterson will be the best, but he'll have a tougher transition because he'll start right away, whereas Prince will start as the nickel back. S: Rahim Moore. Natural center-field playmaker who should start right away. Edited May 2, 2011 by SteVo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FIDDYDEUCE 81 Posted May 2, 2011 QB - Andy Dalton (only because he's one of the few that will start.) RB - Mark Ingram WR - AJ Green TE - Lance Kendricks OL - Gabe Carimi DT - Corey Liuget DE - Brooks Reed (same reason as SteVo) LB - Von Miller CB - Jimmy Smith S - Rahim Moore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLUE 1,026 Posted May 2, 2011 CB: Prince Amukamara. I still say Prince will be the best, but he'll have a tougher transition because he'll start right away, whereas Prince will start as the nickel back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PackAttack32 0 Posted May 2, 2011 QB - Andy Dalton (I think he will come into the league more NFL ready than any other QB and simply be the best out of the draftees. Not so sure about long-term but right out of the gate for sure.) RB - Mark Ingram (He has a great future aslong as he can stay healthy, I think he could be going into the record books someday.) WR - Julio Jones (The Falcons gave up a lot for him for a reason, theirs gonna be some high expectations for this guy but I think hes going to be an absolute monster!) TE - Undecided OL - Nate Solder (It will take him a year or two to build up his strength but I think this guy is going to be a great player for a long time.) DT - Marcell Dareus (Ya can't really go wrong with picking this guy..) DE - Undecided LB - Undecided CB - Toss up between Patrick Peterson and Prince Amukamara ( This ones tought, both of these guys will be great!) S - Undecided Didn't get to into the draft this year so I wasn't sure on some positions but the ones that I did pick im pretty sold on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted May 3, 2011 QB: Christian Ponder I think he has the highest floor out of all the prospects, and he has a decent chance to start, the only thing I think that would prevent this chance is injuries. I'll give an honorable mention to Locker as well. HB: Ben Tate. If I keep guessing this I'm bound to be right. WR: Cecil Shorts the Third. Surprise, it always is. TE: Julius Thomas, hero. OL: Anthony Castonzo, but he looks better since Peyton releases the ball in 2 seconds. DE: Cameron Jordan, got the scheme, intangibles and the talent around him to shine. DT: Stephen Paea. He's gonna look like a beast with Julius Peppers and Idonjie stealing attention. LB: Von Miller. I can dream, can't I? CB: Patrick Peterson... god damn you know who I am. S: Rahim Moore. Get some, I can dig it. Tyler Sash if I need a Strong Safety as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trinatas 8 Posted May 3, 2011 QB - Greg McElroy: I know, I'm nuts...just a hunch. Talking long-run here and I've thought this for a minute. RB - Mark Ingram: Perfect situation for a bigger-athletic back. That air-attack will really, really open up the ground game for him. TE - Kyle Rudolph: Please let this be true. WR - Julio Jones: One of the most talented collegiate players I've ever watched play the game. OL - Anthony Castonzo: I'm thinking this is the Jake Long of this draft. DT: Marcell Dareus: Watch how much Buffalo's defense is able to stuff the run and pressure passers now. DE - JJ Watt: Opposite of Mario Williams...you kidding me? LB - Von Miller: He'll likely spend more time on the outside rush but I think John Fox has this kid racking up the sacks. CB - Jimmy Smith: Not the most athletic but I believe the best cover corner in the class S - Quinton Carer: Another hunch, just love his smash-mouth style of play.

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted May 3, 2011 DE- Ryan Kerrigan LB- JJ Watt Looks like you mixed those two up. Kerrigan will be a 3-4 OLB in Washington; Watt will be a 3-4 DE in Houston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
