I haven't been following the draft that close, and I just read the last page of the thread, so forgive me if this has been covered, but how the hell did JJ Arrington slip down to the second round? I really think he was the best player in college football last year, and he was only a junior. His ypc average was better than anyone else from a major school by a decent margin, and he still had plenty of carries.

 

I think there's every reason to think that he'll be a better NFL RB than Cedric Benson (who went Top 5?!). Benson had one of the best O-lines in college football last year, and basically just hit open holes for five yards at a time all day. Vince Young, as a QB, often ran for as many yards as he did. I really think that you could have plugged about 50 or 100 different backs into that Texas offense last year and got 1500 yards. I really don't see why someone like JJ Arrington who could be really special ends up that far behind Benson.

Just looking at Arizona right now, I think they're having a good enough draft that it could get them back to the playoffs next year. I honestly think they got both the best offensive player and best defensive player in the draft.

 

Antrel Rolle is probably the most talented guy in the draft, as he's an absolute shut-down corner and is actually ready to go at the NFL level now. Arrington got robbed of the Heisman trophy last year, and gains yards like none other. I see him running for 1000-1200 yards next year, and he should be a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year.

I'm sorry but Kiper is wrong saying San Fran. is in a low risk high reward drafting Frank Gore. Gore might be a steal...but a 2-14 team, in the 3rd round is taking alot more of a risk than a Philadelphia or NE would be.
