Mel's midseason top 5



1
Andrew Luck *
AGE: 22
DOB: 9/12/89
HT: 6-4
WT: 235
POS: QB
Comp 194
Att 272
Pct 71.3
Yds 2,424
TD 26
Int 5

Luck truly makes everyone look better. And he'll be tested again against Oregon, down probably his best wideout. He's the total package. Arm strength, size, smarts, demeanor. A safe bet to be No. 1 overall.

Matt Kalil *
AGE: 22
DOB: 7/6/89
HT: 6-7
WT: 295
POS: OT
GP 9
GS 9

Another good week for the USC offense, and Kalil is a big part of it. He'll remind you of former No. 1 overall pick Jake Long, an athletic left tackle who has the full set of skills, both as a pass-blocker and as a strong, capable run-blocker.

3
Trent Richardson *
AGE: 20
DOB: 7/10/91
HT: 5-11
WT: 224
POS: RB
Car 172
Yds 1,078
Avg. 6.3
TD 17

Not his best game against LSU, but not a bad one, either. Richardson has come on after splitting carries in his first two seasons, something that will benefit him. Powerful, fast, with improved vision, he runs with good pad level and breaks tackles with ease.

4
Landry Jones *
AGE: 22
DOB: 4/22/89
HT: 6-4
WT: 229
POS: QB
Comp 254
Att 393
Pct 64.6
Yds 3,349
TD 28
Int 9

Pretty good year despite some bad throws here and there. I like the way he's battled so far in 2011. He has some INTs, but his accuracy is still very good. Good size, strong arm, needs to improve footwork, particularly in traffic.

5
Justin Blackmon *
AGE: 21
DOB: 1/9/90
HT: 6-1
WT: 208
POS: WR
Rec 87
Yds 1,039
Avg 11.9
TD 12

Dominating week after week. He is a better prospect than recent OSU star Dez Bryant. Versatile and explosive and really works to get open. Great ball skills; breaks tackles. Exceptional work ethic.

If the Bengals get any 3 of these guys (- the QBs) in the first two rounds, I'll do backflips. Cinci has turned drafting 1st round talent in the second round into an art form (Dunlap, Malauga, Steinbach, Dillon, Ocho,)

Anyone else notice that Lamar Miller is now listed as the #14 overall prospect and graded as a 93?

I've been saying he's moving up the boards but I'm even a bit stunned they have him rated that high. I guess if we want him it would have to be with our second first round pick and not likely we could grab him in the second, even if we were willing to move up. Of course he could fall as fast as he rose also.

He had a solid game of 92 yards on 22 carries but it came against the #3 team in Rushing Defense in the country.
