-Clowney will undoubtedly be an NFL 1st rounder
-Bryce Brown was a bust. Frankly, you can't rank anyone playing HS ball in Kansas in the top 5. Hope Rivals et al learned their lesson.
-Dequan Bowers was I believe a 2nd or 3rd round pick of the Bucs and were it not for questions about his knee would have been a top 10 first rounder.
-Jimmy Clausen was probably overrated from the start, and went to ND where QB's go to die (Gunner Kiehl take note).
-Andre Smith was a 1st rounder

I think the rankings have been warranted for the most part, and anytime LSU is able to land top 5 prospects I'd be thrilled.

Nope. They have Beckham in their top 5 and he plays ball in MO.

Jimmy Clausen fell to the middle of the second round because he didn't interview well with NFL teams(like Mallet). He's probably not even good enough to be a reliable NFL backup right now.

Andre Smith got drafted pretty high but injured himself during off-season and missed his rookie season. He's now a starting right tackle I believe and hardly ever hear any mention of him.

His problems had nothing to do with talent or the competition he played. It was upstairs that was the problem.

Hope Gunner doesn't take note. We haven't been that successful with our QB's in the NFL either. Neither one of the two we have now will even be drafted. And Jamarcus embarassed us forever..

I am still wondering what happened to that d tackle that went to cass tech in Detroit. Think that was barksdale's school. Was a five star guy and picked Michigan. William Campbell?
