Latest Big Board has SEC flavor

[AWK]

Have you seen Mel Kiper's latest Big Board of the top 25 prospects for the 2011 NFL draft?

It looks like an SEC who's who from this past season.

Seven of Kiper's top 10 prospects are from the SEC, led by Georgia receiver A.J. Green at No. 3.

LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson is No. 4 on the Big Board, followed by Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley at No. 6, Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett at No. 7, Auburn quarterback Cam Newton at No. 8, Alabama receiver Julio Jones at No. 9 and Alabama defensive end Marcell Dareus at No. 10.

All seven SEC players in Kiper's top 10 are juniors, too.

Rounding out the SEC players making the latest Big Board are LSU defensive tackle Drake Nevis at No. 16, Mississippi State offensive tackle Derek Sherrod at No. 20 and Alabama running back Mark Ingram at No. 22.

Newton has made the biggest jump the last several weeks. He was No. 14 on Kiper's previous Big Board.

Kiper said of Newton, "Sure, he'll have to develop, but Newton's ability to run isn't just a down-the-field skill; he's also shown the ability to slide in the pocket, move outside and extend passing plays."

7 out of the top 10 are SEC players.  Cam at #8, Fairley at #6... Impressive.

cam to tennessee, houston or perhaps arizona?

I was thinking Tennessee.  That would be awesome.  Also, Carolina might trade down to get two first round picks...And pick up Cam.

I was actually thinking Miami. Pick #20 1st Rd to the Dolphins. You heard it here first.

Well, now that I think about it, Miami would have to trade up to probably get Cam. Other QB's that will be on the board are Andrew Luck, Ryan Mallet, Jake Locker.

You just had to make me get all moist, didn't you, knowing there is not a shot in hell of that happening...

See now that made it moist for me.

Dallas damnit! Time for homo romo to go.

Wait...what?  What do you mean theres gonna be a lockout?


Well Fuck....

[djsimp]

It just seems to fit the bill. They need a QB. Not only that they already run the NFL version of the Wildcat, plus Ronnie is there.

No way Bud Adams picks him, he's still too much in love with Vince.  Looks like in the Vince or Fischer saga, Bud might stick with Vince.  You know, cause he's senile.

Which will be Tennessee's downfall.

Which just breaks the heart of every Houston football fan...

NOT.

I saw a Mock NFL draft that has Fairley to Houston.

[Godfather]

You are all wrong Cam and Fairley will be on the same team next year.  Auburn

Now that... that makes me moist...

Not as much as Cam in a Texans jersey, but close...

That would be freak'n AUsome! I think that would actually blow everyones mind.

I would love to see the big man in Houston (if that is he opts for NFL). Tate should be back from injury next season too.

Foster & Tate in the same backfield would be very nice, then throw in Cam at QB...That's just not fair.  The Texans are a few players away from seriously competing.  They are quickly becoming one of my favorite teams.  They'll never be able to beat out Chicago as my #1 favorite team.

Yeah, I would like to see the Texans do well, they are growing on me.

[Tiger Wench]

It has been miserable being a Texans fan this season though, with FOUR instances of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory... not sure how much more I can stand...

I am so sad about Ben Tate - Arian Foster has all but locked up the starting job after this year - he has been one bright spot.  Ben will have his work cut out for him next year.  Maybe the new head coach will double up the backfield - Kubiak is all but done, that's for sure.

Schaub is not a bad QB and we all know how awesome Andre Johnson is, but holy schnikes, where the hell is the defense?  Yeah, DeMeco is hurt and Mario is not a one man team, but damn, they suck.

Andre toting a whooping on that punk ass from the Titans was the best part of the entire Texans season.
