I really liked Harris the first few times I saw him but he looked horrible against Michael Floyd in the Sun Bowl. I guess even first round caliber CBs can have bad games against first round caliber WRs.

And that's why the most important characteristic of a great corner is a short memory.

Harris seems like a guy that could get easily bored at the CB spot. He looked good early, the team played well early. Teams stop throwing his way during the middle of the year. Then when the team started losing games, he kinda mailed it in.

 

Still, to me, he's a clone of 2 of the NFC probowl CBs, Asante Samuel and Deangelo Hall. Same type of game. Also, Harris is the best run defender of all the CBs in this draft, by a decent margin. I think he's a 1st rounder, but he'll go after Janoris Jenkins, who I don't think is as good as Harris is.

There are rumors going around that Travis Lewis and Ryan Broyles are going back to Oklahoma.

 

Strange if true. Lewis is a top 50 pick pretty easily. Broyles top 80 pick, but he's not a guy that can really do much to help his draft status unless he has the ability to grow 3-4 inches. How do you improve on 131 catches for 1600+ yards and 14 TDs?

Not come out in the same class as Green, Blackmon, Jones, Baldwin, and Floyd?

I think if the WR class wasn't so loaded he would be gone. I would love to have Broyles on my team, and really wish he would leave OU.

Yeah, but he's a different WR from those guys. Those are outside #1 WRs. Broyles has the potential to be a beast in the slot.

 

And next year's class, while not as good as this year's, will still be good. Alshon Jeffrey, Posey, McNutt, Childs, TJ Moe, Roy Roundtree. And a few of those guys are very similar WRs to Broyles in size/speed combo.

Don't forget Mohamed Sanu who I like more than half the 2012 guys you listed.

 

But TT's point is correct - as long as Blackmon and Jones come out, I can't see how the 2012 WR crop will be near as strong as this year. Even if Broyles is a slot guy, he should fall when compared to the other WRs.

Yes, I did forget Sanu. Won't be nearly as strong, but is it worth coming back to be a 2nd round pick rather than a first half of the 3rd round?

Gotta admit I didn't watch one second of a Temple football game this season, but Mohammed Wilkerson is turning pro. He's a DT, that according to gbnreport, could wind up going in the late 1st with a good combine, early 2nd day prospect right now.

Wow: Jon Wilner reports that Stanford is about to announce that Andrew Luck will STAY at school for 2011 season.

CFTalk saying the same thing.

I honestly think this has as much to do with the Panthers holding the top pick as anything to do with labor issues. Nothing to base this on really, but I could see Luck wanting to be in a different situation than Carolina's.......

I had a similar thought. But Carolina is just as likely to be holding the #1 pick next season too.
