Big Ten in Kiper's latest draft forecast

By Adam Rittenberg


ESPN NFL draft guru Mel Kiper has updated his latest Big Board, as well as his top-5 positions lists for both seniors and non-seniors.

You need to be an ESPN Insider member to view the complete files, but here's where Big Ten players stack up:

Kiper's Big Board
  • Iowa DE Adrian Clayborn, the first Big Ten player on the board, dropped to No. 8 from No. 5 last week
  • Purdue DE Ryan Kerrigan held steady at No. 13
  • Ohio State DL Cameron Heyward held steady at No. 15
Position Rankings: Seniors
  • Ohio State's Brandon Saine is No. 5 among running backs
  • Wisconsin's Lance Kendricks is No. 1 among tight ends
  • Wisconsin's Gabe Carimi is No. 5 among offensive tackles
  • Penn State's Stefen Wisniewski is No. 2 among centers (Wisniewski has moved back to guard this year)
  • Iowa's Clayborn is No. 1 among defensive ends
  • Purdue's Kerrigan is No. 3 among defensive ends
  • Ohio State's Heyward is No. 4 among defensive ends
  • Michigan State's Greg Jones is No. 1 among inside linebackers
  • Ohio State's Ross Homan is No. 4 among outside linebackers
  • Iowa's Ryan Donahue is No. 1 among punters
Position Rankings: Non-Seniors
  • Penn State's Joe Suhey is No. 4 among fullbacks
  • Northwestern's Al Netter is No. 4 among offensive tackles
  • Purdue's Ken Plue is No. 5 among guards
  • Ohio State's Mike Brewster is No. 1 among centers
  • Michigan's David Molk is No. 5 among guards
  • Wisconsin's J.J. Watt is No. 4 among defensive ends
  • Wisconsin's Philip Welch is No. 3 among kickers
  • Purdue's Carson Wiggs is No. 5 among kickers
Interesting selections here from Kiper. I was a bit surprised not to see Carimi higher on his lists, and the Big Ten's senior guards -- Ohio State's Justin Boren, Wisconsin's John Moffitt and Michigan's Stephen Schilling -- were shut out. Penn State fans might be interested to know that former Nittany Lion Pat Devlin ranks as the No. 3 senior quarterback

Panthers secure No. 1 pick in April's NFL draft

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It took a rare Sunday off for the Carolina Panthers to finally win something big this season - the No. 1 overall draft pick.
The Panthers are on the clock for April's draft and potentially in position to take Stanford star quarterback Andrew Luck after wins by Cincinnati and Denver allowed Carolina to clinch the league's worst record.
The Broncos (4-11) rallied with 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat Houston 24-23, while the Bengals (4-11) got four touchdown passes from Carson Palmer to beat San Diego 34-20 in the snow for their second straight win.
That meant with one week left in the season, nobody can match Carolina (2-13) for futility in the NFL this season.
The only other time the Panthers have had the No. 1 pick - before their inaugural season in 1995 - they traded it away for more picks.

Alabama WR Julio Jones announced Friday that he will forgo his senior year and enter the 2011 NFL draft.
A physical receiver at 6'4/220, Jones rebounded from an injury-plagued sophomore season to haul in 78 passes for 1,133 yards and seven TDs as a junior while earning first-team All-SEC honors opposite South Carolina WR Alshon Jeffery. (A.J. Green was a second-teamer.) Jones may not crack the 4.4s at February's Combine, but projects as a chain mover with deceptive deep speed in Marques Colston's likeness. He's a likely top-25 selection. Jan. 7 - 1:15 pm et
