Top 100+ lists thread.

[PATSNUTme]

As we have done for the past couple of years, we should have one thread to post top 100+ player rankings so we don't get thread after thread.

So when you find one that is updated, please post it on this thread.

Here is the first from Draft Tek. This is a top 300 list and if you click on the lighter colored it gives profiles. As time goes on, I'm sure they will be adding more profiles than what they have now.

NFP Prospect Position Rankings

As NFL officials make their way back to their draft boards following the Senior Bowl, position rankings now become critically important. In order for teams to put together the most precise big board, accuracy in position rankings is paramount. This process is not only considered one of the most significant aspects of the draft process, it’s also one of the most frequently updated.

Bunting didn't break it down by 3-4 v. 4-3 for this listing, but promises to do so in the future.

There certainly could be others picked in the top 12, and we will have a lot more information before the draft, but there are a dozen names that "everyone" seems to be mentioned in the top tier. To me, only two are worth trying to move up to get, and they are likely to be way out of reach: Curry and Brown. I think the question of moving up would be to get our pick of the next eleven.

If we sit tight, we defintely would have one of these 23.

AS OF NOW - A DOZEN STUDS
QB Stafford, Sanchez
WR Crabtree, Jenkins
OT Oher, Smith, Smith, Monroe
DE Brown, Opokpo
LB Curry
DT Raji

THE NEXT ELEVEN ???
WR Maclin, Harvin
RB Moreno, Wells
LB Maualuga, Cushing, Laurinaitis
CB Davis, Moore
DE/LB Maybin
DE Johnson

IF WE DON'T TRADE UP, WE COULD BE CHOOSING AMONG
LB Sintim (the last of the first round LB's?)
TE Pettigrew
OG/C Unger
OG Robinson
S Moore
S Johnson

Actually, I am very comfortable with these six, and another one or two that might fall. I don't think that we would end up wanting the last linebacker. Whoever falls is likely to have issues that we don't know about, and is overvalued. Picking between a TE, OG and a S iis fine with me. All are strong needs for which there might be value at #23.

Stafford and Sanchez = studs?

They're only high picks, imo, if teams don't cash in on QB's through trades/FA. And there are enough to go around. I'm betting only one of them goes in round one, at this point Sanchez because he's getting a lot press.

This is an excellent resource w/ players ranked in 10 tiers. I listed 26 prospects to get us to the #23 slot. Notice Tier 3, any serious Pats prospects there?
