No real suprises with this list, Justin Harrel is underated, and should be rated pretty close to Okoye and Branch. Wow, Wendling in the 2nd. He is good but is he that good?

I didnt realize Mcauley had fallen that far. So how far for McCauley and Merriwether.

For McCauley: you have a ton of CBs who are rising. Eric Wright, Tanard Jackson, D Hughes, Josh Wilson, Jonathan Wade, etc. I still think he's a 2nd(late) rounder, but I wouldn't be shocked if he just free falls into the mid 3rd.

For Merriweather: Similar to McCauley. He's falling at the same time as a bunch of guys are rising(Wendling, Weddle, Josh Gattis, Piscitelli, etc). I really can't say where he'll go, it depends on which team(s) thinks he's worth the risk, I could see him going anywhere from the mid 2nd to the early 4th.

And Wendling might be the steal of the draft. He'll go the mid 2nd and he's everything you want in a SS, but he can play FS also. He's a lot like Ko Simpson.

Thanks, that sounds about right. Wade is another CB that I like but probaly wont be there if we acquire a 3rd.

Alan Branch DT Michigan: Personally, we don’t buy all the stories of how Branch is falling faster than Don Imus’ career. The rumors of him being out of shape and “lazy” seem to have no substance and now the nebulous rumors that he has a stress fracture smack of an agent for an opposing player(Okoye’s agent?) trying to claw him down. Some team is going to get a steal come draft day.

Couldn't agree more. It wouldn't surprise to find him happy (other than the initial bonus $$) that he'll end up with a better team that's closer to potential PO situation.
