🏈 Top 40 2011 NFL Prospects...

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

The top 12 is the most interesting, though I'd flip #3 and #4... You can bet Hightower would be in there too had he not gotten hurt last season...

Well someone is a fan of the Tar Heels. 4 of the top 40 were from North Carolina's defense, including the #1 overall. With both CBs being Top 40, the press is dropping the ball on quite a story.

I've heard some news about NC being a huge up and coming state for football talent. I'm sure the "investigative" reporting will kick in at some point - seems to be a lost art these days.

I'm surprised Mark Barron wasn't on the list, I got a feeling he could go in the first or second round of the draft next year.

These lists always crack me up. So much stuff changes from year to year and one month before the combine to after the combine. Just look at guys like Ciron Black and Jevan Snead. Hell, look at Montario Hardesty who moved in the opposite direction.

I agree. I'm downright shocked he's not there. Last year, Dareus was by far the most underrated player on our team (pre-NCG obviously). This year it looks like it'll be Barron. Have you ever seen a 1st team All-SEC player be this overlooked?
