QB is really deep this year. Four or five players may go in the first round. Ryan, Brohm, Woodson, Henne, Brennan all deserve first round consideration. Booty, maybe, too.
Lot of good linemen, too, both sides of the ball.
Good DBs, a few at the top of the draft, but way more impressive in terms of depth... good talent should easily last into the 3rd round. We'll need at least one. I like Mike Jenkins USF (would have been great at #32...bummer).
Seem to be fewer elite skill position players being talked about this coming season.
LB, RB, TE look thin this year, even if Maualuga declares. Which is too bad, because we'd be interested in those positions.
I think this draft class is going to be a good, deep one. Hope the Niners keep losing.
I wouldn't consider QB THAT deep, don't get me wrong, there are some good players, but if you ask none of these quarterbacks are real polished. I've had a chance to watch Brohm, Woodson, Ryan and Brennan more than once this year and I've seen flaws in each of their games.
I'd rank them like this:
1. Brohm can be very erratic and he makes terrible decisions in pressure situations. I would say he's the best QB in the draft though.
2. Ryan has played poorly in consecutive games but his 4th quarter skills remind me a little of Tom Brady. He has the perfect NFL QB body but needs some work in mechanics.
3. Woodson's pocket mobility is horrible. Chances are the team that takes him will have a questionable OL and you have to protect him for him to be effective. He does have one of the quickest snap releases I've ever seen though. When the pocket breaks, the play is automatically over.
4. Brennan benefits from an juggernaut offensive system but is still a pretty good quarterback. Hell of an arm but his decision making is questionable at best. He could break Bret Favre's INT record if he plays long enough.
This QB class isn't any deeper than last year's IMO. The reason you saw John Beck, Kevin Kolb and Trent Edwards slip so low was because the middle of the first round was chalked full of teams in no need of QBs.
As for lineman, the best player in the draft is LSU DT Glenn Dorsey. The second he is drafted he joins the ranks of Jamaal Williams, Pat and Kevin Williams, Marcus Stroud and Vince Wilfork as top DTs.
Running back is fairly deep IMO. McFadden, Slaton, Hart, Stewart, Choice and Mendenhall all deserve 1st round consideration.
Wide receiver is VERY thin. Outside of Desean Jackson I don't see a lot of talent at WR. Early Doucet is a bit over rated IMO and there are a lot of Steve Smith wannabes.
Should be a very deep and exciting draft, already can't wait for it.
