    Jason Pierre-Paul has Raiders written all over him.

    Does he have a youtube video for Al Davis to watch?
  • charliehustle14
    Unfortunately, he does.

    I'm kinda glad to not see Heyward or Gibson on there....even though Kiper only ranks the top 25.
  • jpake1
    Looks like a pretty good list. I agree with Kiper, nobody from OSU deserves to be in the top 25. I'm a bit surprised to see Selvie not on it, but his teammate so high. I'm not that high on Everson's production in college.
  • SQ_Crazies
    Funny. Clausen is the first QB he has on the list and Bradford is in the 2nd--Bradford also in the top 5 I might add. I seem to remember some dumbass people arguing with me about both of them, and seeing how Kiper's board is made up of what he hears straight from scouts--looks like I was right.

    This board is bogus though, and is NOT his final board. No workouts yet, no combine...that list will look different by draft day.

    ^^ yea ESPN.com listed this story as "Kiper's Final Big Board"

    It's now listed as "The last big board of 2009 has arrived"

    So yea
  • SQ_Crazies
    I mean it will probably be most of the same guys in close to the same order but it will be different I'm sure.

    Both QBs are rated way too high, in my view.

    Then again, teams love to reach for QBs, so he may not be that far off in where they get selected (as opposed to how good they really are...or aren't).

    May be. But the point is, I was right about both of them.
  • Mulva
    I think Bradford is going to be a good NFL qb. I'm not really sold on any of the other ones.

    Strong defensive draft! Just what the Browns need!!
  • KnightXC1
    Suh would look great in Honolulu Blue and Silver next year in Detroit and I pray the Lions can get him or McCoy from Oklahoma.
  • IggyPride00
    These meaningless late season wins the Browns are notorious for doing have done nothing but cost them a likely shot at a true difference maker like Berry or Suh.

    That KC win is probably the going to leave them picking 5th again, and while you can certainly still get a solid player there they needed someone like Berry to be the Ed Reed/Polamualu of that defense and he will be off the board most likely.
  • jpake1
    SQ- You aren't right about anything yet. They still have yet to be drafted. Scouts say a lot of things. The moment of truth during a draft says the most. We've seen QB's drop when projected very high. It could happen again. I don't see it happening with both of those guys mentioned above, but it's possible.
  • King Curtis
    If the draft goes in that order (it never does) and Cleveland gets the 5th pick, they will be mental midgets to not draft Haden.

    Aaron Hernandez's stock has really risen here the last 2 months.
  • devil1197
    You have to think that neither Suh or Berry will be the #1 selection. The Rams may be looking for their franchise QB.
  • jpake1
    The Rams do need a QB. Definitely a decision that needs a lot of thought.

    Haden is a good player, but no ways do you draft him with #5. I think they would be mental midgets TO draft him. Hernandez is a good player, but he doesn't even get a thought at #5. Not sure if you were implying that.
  • King Curtis
    Waste it on another QB or Tackle, that makes sense.
  • jpake1
    It's only a waste if they don't amount to shit, just like every position.
  • devil1197
    Waste it on a Pro Bowl Tackle like Thomas???

    Thank you. Got any milk? 2% please.
  • Trueblue23
    If St. Louis wants a QB they should trade down..

    Clausen and Bradford are great talents, but I wouldn't want to pay them #1 pick money.
