Player Class Position School
1. Darren McFadden JR RB Arkansas
Elite talent who is destined to become one of the league's top rushers.
2. Glenn Dorsey SR DT L.S.U.
Simply one of the best defensive tackle prospects we've seen in years.
3. Jake Long SR OT Michigan
A left tackle who is not quite Joe Thomas but is better than Levi Brown.
4. Chris Long SR DE Virginia
Technician who plays the run and pass and has an unparalleled motor.
5. Kenny Phillips JR S Miami (FL)
Fantastic athlete and the next in a long line of elite Hurricane safeties.
6. Vernon Gholston JR DE Ohio St.
Versatile pass rusher extraordinaire and also a rare physical specimen.
7. Sedrick Ellis SR DT USC
Prototypical 3-technique who can rush the passer and defend the run.
8. DeSean Jackson JR WR California
Better prospect than Ted Ginn was as both a wideout and return man.
9. Jonathan Stewart JR RB Oregon
An impact runner with a truly rare blend of size, speed and athleticism.
10. Ryan Clady JR OT Boise St.
You won't find many guys this size with such good feet and athleticism.
11. Matt Ryan SR QB Boston College
Off the charts intangibles and physical tools are more than adequate.
12. Derrick Harvey JR DE Florida
Top pass rusher who is a better prospect than Jarvis Moss was in '07.
13. Brian Brohm SR QB Louisville
Has the physical tools and the stats but is he a product of the system?
14. Keith Rivers SR OLB USC
Undersized but pretty athletic and he even wears #55 for the Trojans.
15. Limas Sweed SR WR Texas
Great size and a big play specialist but timed speed's a question mark.
16. Reggie Smith JR S Oklahoma
Versatile defensive back with superb athleticism and playmaking skills.
17. André Woodson SR QB Kentucky
Still raw but might have more upside than any signal caller in this draft.
18. Rashard Mendenhall JR RB Illinois
A productive runner with very good size and more than enough speed.
19. Malcolm Kelly JR WR Oklahoma
Big play threat with excellent size but timed speed is a question mark.
20. Mike Jenkins SR CB South Florida
Not a shutdown corner but he has the physical tools that you look for.
21. Calais Campbell JR DE Miami (FL)
Productive with a well-rounded game and has rare size at 6'8 and 280.
22. Dan Connor SR OLB Penn St.
Similar in many ways to Paul Posluszny but might be a better prospect.
23. Jeff Otah SR OT Pittsburgh
Very raw but has rare size and hasn't begun to reach his full potential.
24. Felix Jones JR RB Arkansas
Speedy and explosive playmaker who is also an incredible return man.
25. Gosder Cherilus SR OT Boston College
The next top Eagle offensive lineman and is a prototypical right tackle.
26. Phillip Merling JR DE Clemson
Is big and strong but he also has a remarkable motor and never quits.
27. Leodis McKelvin SR CB Troy
The prototype in terms of size / speed and he's also a top return man.
28. Sam Baker SR OT USC
A finesse left tackle who is battle tested and a decent natural athlete.
29. Aqib Talib JR CB Kansas
Terrific athlete and a playmaker who is only held back by timed speed.
30. Kentwan Balmer SR DT North Carolina
Quick, athletic playmaker who could also project to DE in a 34 scheme.
31. Early Doucet SR WR L.S.U.
Nice, well-rounded player who does everything well but nothing great.
32. Quentin Groves SR DE Auburn
Great athlete and was very productive but is plagued by inconsistency.
