Neither big enough to play DE In nfl

Mingo is definitely an OLB at the next level, not sure about Sam though

Surprised Wing isn't listed under specialists. I realize he is a just that, a specialist, but he IS after all draft-eligible.

mingo will play DE in the league because he can get around the tackle from the outside by dipping under. not many people can do that and the NFL loves having things that no one else has

Totally disagree on Sam listed as a OLB there.

He will play DE because he caN dip under OTs?

Of all things, That's your reasoning?

Some surprises:
1) Knile Davis from Arky - know he was hurt but I would have thought he'd be a top5 RB? No?

2) Copeland at FB. Maybe I'm just being a homer but would you trade him for any of those 5 shown? Just asking because I'm not familiar with the others.

Whoever says Polamalu and TM in the same sentence doesn't realize how special Troy Polamalu is. I love TM but please.

I think Tharold Simon will be the next great CB for the Tigers this year. The games that he had a chance to make a play on the ball, he showed good pass defense skills.
