4/30

Part one of Newberg's breakdown of the top 25 LBs in the country, starting with the MLBs. Those mentioned include Steven Filer, Etienne Sabino and Andrew Sweat.

I think they should of put Hale on that List and Sweat on the will lb list...

Also Bruce Taylor (Va Tech committ) is a very good player that is on that list...

Still unsure on Bradham...

I thought this article would be relevant to how Scout and Rivals rank the players and by state. The article talks about the draft and they map out where all the picks came from. Pretty cool feature really. California led the draft with 36 players taken, followed by Texas and Florida with 26 a piece. Ohio had 18 taken.

Even cooler, Burton says in the article that Ohio had the best draft state in the entire country in his opinion.

I am starting to get worried about Miller's health...he obviously is going crazy. And I'll tell you this...if I am a FSU fan I am livid...based on the film I've seen, Vincent Williams at #91 and Moses McCray at #129 is nothing short of laughable.

My dad can beat up your dad

Neither Rivals or Scout are showing anything but I have seen numerous UM fans say that they landed Wemers today...one guy also states that they consider Wermers, O'Neil and Mealer to be on the "same level" as Adams, Shugarts and Brewster.

Wermers, O'Neil and Mealer, "SAME LEVEL" as ADAMS, SHUGARTS,& BREWSTER...... WHAT!!! that is the craziest thing i ever heard.

He better take them goggles off...

LOL sounds like a lot of sour grapes, although Mealer is probably on the same level as our guys. Very quick feet.

I don't know who said that, but O'Neill is really the only Top100 caliber lineman Michigan got. Mealer and Wermers are Top250 level guys.

Rankings don't mean squat it's all about how they perform on the field.
