Walter can you fix Tyson Jackson's rating to 3.5 stars...my bad.

****. Also Larry English gets 3.5 stars as well...

[Matt McGuire]

Not sure if you guys noticed, but Ole Miss dominated my top 5 rankings. 3 players were ranked #1 overall by position (Oher, Hardy, Jerry).

Fixed!

whew...thought i was gonna get fired

Larry English? Wow, I'm surprised to see him make your list. I like him to, he goes unnoticed because he is the only good player on NIU's horrid defense.

Evander "Ziggy" Hood is the greatest name in the history of sports.

Yeah I taped his game on toledo...I think it was a 4 am game for me (rerun). He was really solid.

He had 5 sacks though against Idaho. He needs to step up against bigger competition. On 8/30 he plays Minnesota on the Big Ten Network. I got that TiVod

Yeah, unfortunately he was the only solid player against Toledo. That game was probably the worst football game i've ever watched. I think NIU gave up like 70 points.

You have English as a fringe 1st/solid 2nd. I think he is more of a 3rd-4th round prospect.

[Matt McGuire]

If he runs a mid 4.5 at the combine he is in that high 2nd territory. Anyways that's the grade I gave him...maybe a little high now. 3-4 DEs aren't in very much demand as is (not many 3-4 teams and they all have their rushers), so he would probably go more in the draft like 3rd round as you said.

Anyways, I am currently working on my next updated 2nd round mock, with Walter's updated order.

Let's just say I think it is the most unique top 5 mock. Some names there you just don't see anywhere else.

Ole Miss always pumps out good talent(Eli Manning, Pat Willis) why are they never good?

Bad coaching and they never have enough good talent...they can get some really good players, but they don't build depth on their roster or fill it out.
