A lot about this draft class had me just saying holy mackeral, wish I had more picks. You could draft a whole offensive line or set of linebackers and be in very good shape for years to come.
This was a pretty good class IRL so this does not surprise me. Pretty sure Cam will not go #1 overall like he did IRL, but I am excited to see who will be there for me at #10.
*****************************
QBs
AWR vs THA
Cam Newton with the highest AWR at 62 but one of the lowest THA at 79
5 players with 85 THA or higher: Andy Dalton, Christian Ponder, Blaine Gabbert, Nathan Enderle, and Ryan Mallett. Of those, the AWR goes Dalton (60), Mallett (59), Gabbert (5
, Ponder (56), and Enderle (50)
None of them can run worth a crap, so they are all out for me!
*****************************
HB
Looking for size (6'2" and 227), Speed (92), Strength (82), Agility (93), Acceleration (90), and Break Tackle (81)? Then you will be heading to the Pro Day in the Little Apple, Manhattan, KS. Daniel Thomas from Kansas State has the 3 90's plus great size and strength.
Others in the 3 90's club:
- Mikel LeShoure
- Shane Vereen
- Johnny White
- Anthony Allen
- Bilal Powell
- Baron Batch
- Jay Finley
Fastest - Anthony Allen
Most likely to break a tackle - Mark Ingram at 84 BTK

FB
None worth mentioning
*****************************
WR
If you like them fast, this is your class. If you like them strong, you will want to wait
3 Players with 99 SPD: Johnathan Baldwin (6'5"), Kealoha Pilares (5'11"), Titus Young (5'11") All 3 are 96+ in agility and acceleration as well. Overall there are 9 players with speed of 95 or higher
*****************************
TE
Jordan Cameron is a 6'5", 245 with 88 speed, 82 Agility, 85 acceleration and a 62 run block
Larry Donnell is a 6'6", 265 with 84 sped, 81 strength, 87 agility, and 84 acceleration with 53 run block
Rob Housler is a 6'5", 236 pound with 80 speed, but an 89 jump
*****************************
Offensive Line
Wow! Two players with 82+ Acceleration, 97+ strength, 65+ speed, and 74+ agility! Another player with 64, 97, 69, and 80! Overall there are 36 offensive linemen with 70 or higher acceleration (which used to be the standard).
*****************************
Defensive Tackle
Good thing we have those speedy linemen because every defensive tackle except 1 has 70 or higher acceleration.
The Apollo special: Kendrick Ellis - 340 pounds, 80 speed, 74 AGI, and 87 ACC
Most all around: Close between Stephen Paea and Lawrence Guy with their combinations of speed, strength, agility, and acceleration
*****************************
Defensive End
We have some guys to look at here:
J.J. Watt - 76 Speed, 80 Str, 82 Agi, and 83 ACC at 285 pounds
Adrian Clayborn - 285 pounds, 74 speed, 86 str, 78, and 76
But take a look at the big guy (another Apollo special) - Muhammad Wilkerson - 315 pounds - 80 Speed, 79 Strength, 81 Agility with 78 ACC
*****************************
Linebackers
Wow.... I mean WOW!
I like to look for the 4 80's guys - 80+ Speed, 80+ Strength, 80+ Agility, 80+ Acceleration. Add in 80+ tackle and over 6'1" and wow.
There are some wows here people. LOLB Andrew Gachkar, not sure who told you to come out for the draft this year, but, not a good career plan.
All but 11 have 80+ speed. All but 6 have 80+ acceleration.
4 80's:
ROLB Von Miller at 6'2"
MLB Chris White (WOW) at 6'3"
ROLB Mason Foster is just a little short at 6'0"
MLB Akeem Dent at 6'1"
MLB Chris White is a complete stud who will terrorize the middle for a long time.
*****************************
Safety
At safety, two players stand out to me:
- 6'3" SS Austin Yancy with 92 speed, 57 strength, 95 agility, 93 acceleration and 93 jump
- 6'1" FS Chris Prosinksi with 90 speed, 58 strength, 90 agility, and 90 acceleration but only 60 jump
Again, Rahim Moore must have the same agent as Andrew Gachkar and needs to just lay low during the draft.
*****************************
Finally Cornerback
There are some incredible corners in this draft that may be able to keep up with those receivers. Only one cornerback with less than 90 speed and the shortest in the draft is 5'10" (no more of those 5'9" guys any longer)
Two jump out at me:
- 6'2" Ras-I Dowling - 97 speed, 63 strength, 90 agility, 90 acceleration plus 89 jump
- 6'1" Cortez Allen - 99 speed, 57 strength, 95 agility, 97 acceleration (but 79 injury)
Right there is also Chimdi Chekwa at 6'0" with 96 speed, 93 agility and 94 acceleration
