Who you got?

I think Roquan Smith is going to be nothing special and way over drafted.

I do not think Vita Vea will be that special in the NFL and will be drafted in the first half of the first round.

I voted for Barkley who tended to disappear in big games. He'll get his yards and not be considered a bust but I don't feel him especially strong at the point of attack and he won't be able to get as much space in the NFL.

Whoever the Packers draft at #14 will bust big time.

Ward scares me a bit because of his size. He comps out to a guy like Josh Robinson. Their combine stats are quite similar.

Man that's tough. You can make an argument for why these guys should get drafted at #8 or close to # 8 in a trade down. Out of the players on this list i cant make an argument to go against them . I pass.

Nelson and all the hype for a guard, kinda got me scerd he will be a bust or at least not live up to expectations (probowler/all pro hype).

I would've said Edmunds if he was listed, seems to be the Combine pick.

Since he wasn't I went with Davenport. I don't think his small school will translate to the best of the best.

Yeah, max of 10 choices. Maybe should have put him in instead of Jackson

R. Smith will bust. He is not Bowman or Willis...more Shea than anything.

I'm voting Edmunds, not on this list. As athletically gifted and as big as he may be, his knocks are that he has trouble reading offenses, understanding his assignment, and often relies too heavily on his athleticism to rebound when he misses his assignment.

That's a recipe for disaster at the pro level.

Either people like Jackson or think he'll be too far down to be considered a bust.

I did pull his name up the other day searching for the player most likely to take the ball away. I'm intrigued.

I went with Ward. Too much holding, and came from Ohio State.

Edmunds if he goes to a team without a good teacher and veteran presence.

Man, I gotta disagree. I think his floor is a matt forte like impact. A lot of good college RBs struggle against good teams, usually because the defense they're playing against is simply more talented than the offense their on. Talent levels aren't so varied in the NFL.

Denzel Ward and I hope he is the guy that the Packers take to make it even more sweet when he does
