We learned a valuable lesson last year when everybody though DeCastro would go very high, and he dropped to the mid-20s. NFL GMs just won't draft them high. I'm also going CB, but I vote Xavier Rhodes.

I'm changing my vote to Xavier Rhodes.

Its funny how 2 of the 4 "experts" in the article you provided predicts that the Bills will select Matt Barkley with the 8th overall pick when you said that there's no way that will happen. Again you cherry pick information that supposedly supports your argument. Absolutely no consistency in your arguments.

Vance, I'm starting to realize I have no common sense.

Desmond Trufant's draft buzz growing

With the NFL draft exactly one month away, the buzz is starting to heat up around several Pac-12 players -- including Washington defensive back Desmond Trufant.

The San Diego Chargers website is counting down potential draft picks each day leading up to the draft -- and Trufant might be on the Bolts' wish list, writes Ricky Henne, managing editor of Chargers.com.

Trufant already established himself as one of the premier athletes in the draft with his strong showing at the NFL scouting combine -- posting high marks in the 40-yard dash, bench press and 20-yard shuttle.

But it might be his instincts and football IQ that are attractive to the Chargers, who draft 11th overall.

Writes Henne:
According to some scouts, his best asset may be his pure football intelligence. Some players have a knack for diagramming plays and possessing natural instincts, and Trufant is such a player. He’s able to play zone, man or press coverage, and that flexibility is a major asset. Throw in a strong build (6-foot-0, 190-pounds) and elite speed and you get a player who has made a strong impression on NFL decision makers.

... Still, Trufant’s versatility and impressive overall skill set have him poised to be an early selection as one of the best cornerback prospects available this season.

In his most updated top-five player rankings, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. rates Trufant as the No. 2 cornerback in the draft behind Alabama's Dee Milliner.

A top-15 pick might seem a bit high for Trufant -- especially since he didn't start catching more buzz until after the combine. In their most recent mock drafts, both Kiper and Todd McShay have Trufant as a first-round pick. In his most recent Top 32, released last week, McShay projects Trufant as the No. 22 player -- up from No. 32.

Writes McShay:
We always liked Trufant's game. He does just about everything well, though his ball skills could be a little more consistent. His tape didn't indicate elite speed, but he was good enough at the combine. His combination of speed and arm length is impressive. Trufant has good size, and in a league starved for good cover guys, his production could move him into the first round.

Thanks. Kept me from having to post that. I knew his stock was soaring a bit. I wouldn't be 100% surprised if he maybe gets drafted ahead of Milliner. Well I would be suprised, but not completely shocked.

Hahaha, Oh I'm sorry.....you're serious.

You can laugh all you want. Enjoy yourself.

Vroom, vroom. I can't get my car up to 88 mph, so you have an advantage over me, because I can't see the future. I am just guessing best I can based off what I read and have seen.

ROTFLMAO.... that was hilarious! And yes his stock is soaring right now, kind of reminds me of how Stephon Gilmore overtook Dre Kirkpatrick last season. At the beginning of the process everyone thought Kirkpatrick was the best corner and would be the first one off the board but Gilmore had an outstanding combine and shot up the boards. That type of thing happens every year. People who pay attention and follow the draft would know that.

If you followed the draft you would also know Kirkpatrick was never considered a top 10 pick. Milliner is widely considered a top 5 pick. But because that doesn't fall into your little dream world you don't bother mentioning it.

 

[vancelot23]

I don't read any of those links. I've watched my own tape. Couldn't care less what McShay says or whoever. Posting them as evidence you're right is senseless

 

[augustisback003]

Well after Tubbs changes his initial vote for the 2nd time, first time being post #85, during this mock we again have a tie between two players. So instead of changing votes to break ties we have to come up with some better ground rules that would be a fair resolution. Since this is the first pick with the new rules and since Kramer, Grad and others didn't vote the voting period is extended to make sure everyone gets a chance to decide the pick. The vote now closes at 1pm PST/4pm EST.

Rule #1- You get one vote, no more changes. Please be deliberate in your process.

Rules #2- In case of a tie, highest ranked player gets selected.

 

[Tubbs1518]

And what rankings are you planning on going by? I don't buy ESPNs rankings. They are a joke.

 

[vancelot23]

Gotta agree. As I've said, I greatly disagree with ESPNs rankings on a lot if guys.
