2009 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - Fantasy Football Jungle

[mrdv1]

I see moore and harvin a bit higher. maybe Cushing higher too.

Mack and Wells seem a lil high.

I think curry beats out orakpo for the top defender spot

Very good top 50 though

[Saint33]

I like it a lot. Just a few things though.

Aaron Curry I think is the second best prospect in the draft. By far the best defender.

I don't get all the hype behind Sanchez. I'm not a huge Stafford fan, but I think he's gotta be considered the better prospect at this point. Sanchez is a mid first round at best IMO, I couldn't see him going higher than SF. In fact, if you just flip flopped the two of them, I think that's about right.

Also I hate BJ Raji. He's a great player, very talented, but he's so inconsistent, and a lot of the times it looks like he isn't trying at all. And that carries through the rest of his life, he didn't keep up his grades, and he just doesn't seem to have the right attitude to play in the NFL. If I were an NFL coach, I wouldn't want the kid on my team, he doesn't seem to have any work ethic at all.

One guy I'd say is missing is Jamon Meredith.

Other than that, I like it. I disagree with mmrdv Mack, Wells, Cushing and Harvin are right about where I'd have them

[cubuffsman78]

I think after Sanchez, there isn't another QB worth putting in the Top 50. Being in the Top 50 means you're worth at least a mid-second round pick and I don't think Bomar or Davis are.

I think Mack and Unger are both a bit high. Mack wouldn't even make my list at this point. Unger would drop about 10 spots.

Lots of Kenny Britt love on this board. Can't say I like him that much. He might make my list, but he'd be around 50.

I like seeing Louis Delmas getting a shout out, but that's still a bit high. I'd go Patrick Chung over Delmas, and JOhnson for that matter.

The rankings don't necessary reflect where I think they'll end up going in the draft so I obviously don't think Matthew Stafford will be around at No. 20, but they do reflect on who I think the best overall players and where I might consider taking them if I were drafting.

I think both Alex Mack and Max Unger have the talent to be Pro Bowl players at their positions. I really like both and that's why they're so closely ranked by one another. I don't think either goes top 20 because centers and guards just don't go that high.

I also think Delma has 2nd round talent and I could see him being taken in that time. Depends on his workouts, but needless to say I have expectations.

I haven't been as vocal about it, but I am a Rhett Bomar fan in terms of his talent. Now how much has he matured is the real concern in my opinion and we'll see what reports say, but talent wise I like him as a 2nd rounder. I think he can be a starter in the NFL.

I do like Brian Orakpo better than Aaron Curry because I value pass rushers more and I think Orakpo has a chance to be a really good pass rusher at the next level. I do like Curry though. My top seven are really whom I consider the elite players of this draft.

I was big on B.J. Raji before Gerald McCoy decided to return to school and I'm just as high on him as before. Eight sacks is a great number for a guy his size. I think he's got a chance to go top 15.
