Here's what I find of note—and it certainly has NOTHING to do with the NFL. :bluebiggrin:

If this holds true with Eddie, that'll make the third consecutive year Bama has had the 1st running back taken in the draft.

Dude, I just wish my Eagles could take all of them .. and Jones. I would be super pumped if we got any of these guys.

I really wish Lacy would fall far enough for the Falcons but I get the suspicion that after the combine he'll sneak into the top 20.

That would be nice for the Falcons and how I wish that would happen, but I am with you on the combine part.

 

[JoshB]

When the scouts see just how fast he actually is to go along with that size and power, it'll be a wrap. The only hangup some will have is the injury issues. If he can stay healthy man can be good, I mean really really good, in the NFL.

I'm kinda surprised that Barrett isn't getting more love. Anyone heard what scouts are seeing as his downfalls? I guess taking a center in the 1st round would be considered somewhat of a reach.

But would love to have the Titans take Chance in the 1st Round or have Barrett fall to us in either the 2nd or 3rd Round...whatever it may be.

Eddie has really shot up on the draft rankings. I think he was viewed as more of a 3rd rounder, or there about, before the SECCG and NC. For a man his size, he sure does have light feet and like you said, speed.

Ya know, thats something I havent really been able to understand. I think most people feel Barrett would be a better fit at Guard in the NFL, but most think he can play Center too. It just seems like a guy this talented, at this many different positions, and this smart has kinda gone under the radar in terms of the NFL goes thus far. Now, when teams interview him that might change a bit and he surely has a chance to make his case at the combine. Its just too bad he cant prove himself further at the Senior Bowl because of the injury, tho I think handling (for the most part) two of the better interior linemen in the country (Georgia's Jenkins and Notre Dame's Nix) should have been proof enough imo.
