jlhardin · #1 03-01-2006, 07:19 PM

Here is my list of the top ten players in this draft. This list is based on athleticism and potential, it doesn't reflect draft position at all. That being said give me you comments.

1. Vernon Davis
2. Mario Williams
3. Reggie Bush
4. Reggie McNeil
5. B'Brickashaw Ferguson
6. Vince Young
7. Manny Lawson
8. Michael Huff
9. Chad Jackson
10. Brodrick Bunkley

I'll say Mario Williams. He's 6-7 295 and he ran a 4.66 40 yard dash.. Now most people are thinking a 4.66 is pretty common now a days for DE's. Williams is 295 which is close to what most lighter DT's weigh. He also has a 40 inch vert which is amazing as well. He's a pure freak in my opinon and would be worth the top pick in most drafts but this one is so deep.

I still have Vernon Davis as #1, he's 6'3 250ish and runs a forty in 4.38!, he has a 40 inch vert, there is probably only one Tight End who is close to him in athleticism- Antonio Gates.

To me this is easy. Mario Williams, dont get me wrong Vernon Davis is a beast. But look at the athletic ability of Mario. Then consider that he is gigantic, if you told me his size I would have told you 4.65 40 or maybe even slower, and i would never guess a 40 inch vert. Wow.

1 Mario Williams
2 Vernon Davis
3 Manny Lawson
4 D-Brick

I leave out Young and Bush because with this list Im thinking more in terms of freak athletes. THose 2 are prototypical for their size and position. The four above are special.

I like how you guys just get sucked into the numbers and forget the guy that made of all of us OOO and AWW this season. REGGIE BUSH
He completely embarresed people this season.

Question says pound for pound. For Bush's size he's got expected speed. He is a special player don't get me wrong but I'm think Freak and when I think freak I don't think Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush falls under a different category in my opinion.

VERNON DAVIS IS THE MOST ATHLETIC DRAFTEE, EVER.

though Kellen Winslow is a better TE prospect.. :wink:

Anyways not taking anything away from Davis but I think a 4.66 at 295 is more impressive than a 4.35 at 255..

That's what got me.

Ben Watson is close. 6'3 255lbs. 4.41 40, don't know his vertical but had 35 reps with the weights
