AJ Green is the best receiver in the SEC followed by Julio Jones...

but i think with a good year Mr. Randle can make a name for himself.

the CB from texas is good but i think Peterson is better.

He can lock down a receiver better than anyone in the country and in the NFL its better to be able to do that than stick a zone.

but Jones has better NFL skills and size(this is the key).


better skills in what? He has very mediocre wide receiver skills except for downfield blocking.

What do you look for in a WR:

Hands: EASILY Green is better
Route Running: EASILY Green is better
Leaping ability: Green, but closer than others
Speed: Green by a mile
Blocking: Jones is better


Green has Randy Moss' size. He has done pretty well for himself in the NFL.

AJ Green is Randy Moss redux... a true deep threat.

Julio is a possession receiver with questionable hands to this point.

I like Green much more but I bet Julio outtimes him in the 40 next year.

his article on ESPNs page lists Terrence Tolliver as one to watch as well.

"Kiper's top 5s: Returning playersThink of this list as an early guide to the 2011 NFL draftEmail Share retweet By Mel Kiper Jr.
ESPN Insider
Archive
The focus now is on the 2010 NFL draft. This list, however, is made up of players who are not in the pool for this year's draft, but could have been had they opted to jump. You can think of it as an early road map for the 2011 NFL draft. Obviously, some of the top sophomores in the nation also will be in this mix next season.


Things will change greatly in the summer and fall, of course, but Ryan Mallett (even with the foot injury), DeAndre McDaniel, Marvin Austin and Terrance Toliver will be names to know and watch for. "

Well you're not gonna like what I have to say. They have 5 players on their defense that are gonna be top 3 round draft picks. And at least one more that is gonna be a first rounder...

roll the pocket to the opposite side Quinn is on. LSU does not have a player i've seen who can stop this guy. He is a freak and if the team who picks 1st in the draft next year needs a QB and a DE, Quinn will be 1st pick b/c next years QB draft will be stout and they will get a better late 1st, early 2nd round QB from next years class anyways.

Green is far better than Jones at this point, in my opinion. And I think Michael Floyd is better than Jones as well. Floyd has very good hands and plays with aggression. He reminds me of T.O. without the attitude. It will be interesting to see the 40 times of these 3 guys.

The same guy said Clausen was arguably the best qb in the draft. Stop putting stock in a guy that actually doesn't know dick about where players will be drafted

Julio is a hell of a lot faster than Mike Williams. If anything, they are polar opposites. Yes, both are tall, but Julio is all about measurables whereas his production isn't 1st round-worthy. Williams's production was insane but his measurables didn't stand out.

Barksdale will have to man up against UNC. Most sites have him as the #2 or #3 OT coming out (minus juniors). Hopefully he doesn't step backwards in value like Ciron did.
