[extralife]

I want Barkevious Mingo because that is the best name ever and immediately reminds me of that Key and Peele sketch.

also lol at Leon Sandcastle

[SlyEli]

That's the highest I've seen Arthur Brown. Are these your ratings? I haven't seen brown going anywhere in the first round. While i do agree that te'o is overrated I still think Jones is the best mlb

[Tombstone RJ]

These rankings come from the kc chiefs website... not my rankings. Just wanted some of your all's opinions on it.

[Drunken.Broncoholic]

EJ Manuel should be higher. I got Werner over mingo

[ward63]

Dysert is the real deal...I have been working at Miami and watched almost every game. He was not in an offense that fit him, at least his senior year. Not that he will be a bronco

[rmsanger]

seems pretty obvious that we will be drafting CB early and often to bolster our chokejobs.

[Rohirrim]

I want Leon Sandcastle. I've watched film on the guy and I'll tell you, he's an absolute speedster. You can't coach speed. I'll lay my scouting credentials on the line with this one; Leon will be a HOF corner.

[DBroncos4life]

How in the world did they not have Jordan Poyer on that list?

[gunns]

I've seen some mocks that have Joeckel going first to the Chiefs and Lotulelei going 2nd.

[Bacchus]

A lot of the RBs are close together and they bring different things to the table. I think Ball should be higher but he really isn't that fast so that might drop him on some boards.

[Al Wilson]

It's a weak draft for linebackers and safeties. I like Christine Michael as a sleeper for running back. Would be a great pick in round 3-4. Was hardly used in Texas A&M but he's very explosive and powerful.

These #'s are from NFL.com's 2013 Draft Website with their grades.

They will continue to change. They are fluid and not finished. Le'Veon Bell was in the mid 80s a week ago.
