TOP 10 SENIORS[/FONT]
1.
Matt Leinart, QB, USC: A tremendously efficient quarterback who sees the entire field and makes good decisions with the ball. Leinart has excellent pocket awareness and is precise with his ball placement, allowing receivers to make the most of the catch.
2.
D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia: The consummate left tackle. Ferguson has long arms and great position technique, which allow him to control defensive ends in pass protection and move them in run blocking. He could stand to add a little weight to his frame, but Ferguson has no other real deficiencies.
3.
Chad Greenway, OLB, Iowa: A tough, aggressive player who has tremendous size for an outside linebacker. Greenway's athleticism and sideline-to-sideline speed allow him to get to the ball quickly, making him one of the most productive defensive players in the nation.
4.
DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis: His great instincts, balance and feet allow him to get through traffic. Williams can catch the football out of the backfield as well as any back, something that contributed to more than 20 touchdowns last season.
5.
A.J. Hawk, LB, Ohio State: A starter since the first game of his college career, Hawk is a rough, tough linebacker who does a great job locating the ball and getting to where the action is.
6.
Marcus McNeill, OT, Auburn: An enormous bookend, McNeill is 6-foot-8, 340 pounds, and can totally eliminate defensive linemen. His combination of size and athleticism is impressive.
7.
Eric Winston, OT, Miami: The former tight end has turned himself into an impressive left tackle prospect. If Winston can recover successfully from a knee injury suffered last season, he has a chance to be a great offensive lineman.
8.
Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Boston College: One of the most productive ends in the country last season. Kiwanuka has tremendous natural ability and pass-rush instincts, and if he can become more consistent from game to game and series to series, he will only get better.
9.
Rodrique Wright, DT, Texas: Started as a freshman and has been a force at times along the interior. Wright is another lineman, though, who needs to develop more consistency to maximize his potential.
10.
Jimmy Williams, CB, Virginia Tech: A former safety who moved to corner last season, Williams has a rare combination of size and speed. His 6-2½, 215-pound frame is a great tool against big wideouts, and Williams can make plays in coverage and run support.
