Gimme Five!


We love the NFL Scouting Combine for two reasons: It's a great chance to see guys you don't see alot of during the regular season (I'm talking about you Lawrence Sidbury of Richmond), and it also helps you make up your mind when rating extremely similar players. Case in point - Brian Orakpo really separated himself from those pesky "tweeners" at DE that project as OLB's in the pros - including Penn State's Aaron Maybin and FSU's Everette Brown. Now that the combine is finished, we've completed our intial ratings and posted our top five at each position on the right side of your screen. Feel free to chime in on any discrepancies and injustices. We're game to argue, er, state our case. The ratings are a bit fluid as we continue watching tape of the hundreds of pro prospects, but usually the end result is pretty close to what's there now.
