Abstract

The article presents analysis of football players and their rankings. Statistics abound for draft prospects, as scouts chart everything from speed to smarts. But some measurables matter more than others, and they vary by position. Even though quarterbacks are expected to be chosen high in the first round, this class lacks a true franchise prospect. The overall depth also is a bit suspect. The strength of this class is in the late first-round to second-round area. Some of the players analyzed are Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Kyle Orton and Jason Campbell among others.
