Ainge
McCoy
Mayo
Berry
Cottam

Ben Martin ( you haven't seen him yet.. but he's a bad dude!)

There's a couple more I just can't think right now..

Right now I think draft stock would be as follows, we don't have any first rounders this year:

Eric Young, Anthony Parker, Jerod Mayo, Arian Foster , Rico McCoy, Erik Ainge, Chris Brown (maybe late he is very underrated), Josh McNeil, Berry (will no doubt go 1st round if he continues at this pace), Gerald Jones, Ben Martin, and Creer possibly...it's too early to tell.

I like your list. I'm not convinced about Bolden on mine...nor am I Foster, Jones, or Creer on yours. Don't get me wrong - there is a lot in Gerald Jones to be excited about, I'm just not sure what will happen there. Of course, we haven't seen anything really out of Martin.

Eric Ainge - Has the tools, just needs mental refinement 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Eric Young - 3rd rounder, perhaps 2nd.

Anthony Parker - Solid offensive lineman, 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Jac McClendon - has the measurables, could be dominating 2nd rounder.

Josh McNeil - Plays with attitude, perhaps a 3rd or 4th round guy.

Vlad Richard - Great atheletic ability. Will test well in NFL combines. 2nd perhaps a 1st rounder if he developes right.

Lennor Creer - This guy reminds me of Carnell Williams. If he stays healthy and has a solid career he is a 1st or second rounder.

Brad Cottam - He has great ability. Injuries make him a Late pick or free agent.

Chris Brown - He will be picked up in the late rounds, a handy guy to have around an NFL club.

Ahmad Paige - Haven't seen him yet, but I hear that he runs great routes, has deep speed, and good hands. If he developes to his potential he could be the new Marvin Harrison.

Gerald Jones - Great gamebreaking skills and breakaway speed. Good hands and football smarts. Potential 1st rounder.

Denarius Moore - Will do well in the combines, but need to see more gamebreaking ability.

Lucas Taylor - Free agent, but I think he makes a team somewhere.

Demonte Bolden - Has the measureables, but developement issues make him about a 5th rounder.

Jerod Mayo - 2nd rounder if he stays healthy.

Rico McCoy - 4th or 5th rounder.

Arian Foster - Free agent or late round pick. The 40 time will hurt his stock.

Ben Martin - 1st rounder if he lives up to billing. Could be a beast on the end even in the NFL.

Eric Berry (or Eric the Great) - 1st rounder. Potential top 5 pick barring injuries. All the measureables plus character and brains.

Dennis Rogan - May not have ideal size, but has great instincts and playmaking ability. Could be a lock down corner someday. Potential 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Brent Vinson - Just too talented not to mention. If he becomes a sticky cover corner he could be a 1st or 2nd round pick. Excellent speed and size for position.

DeAngelo Willingham - If he does really well next year he may go in the 3rd round or so. Ideal size and speed. Could be an very aggressive corner in a bump and run system.

Johnathan Crompton - Gritty performer. Not the strongest arm, but if he does really well he may be a 5th or 6th rounder.

B.J. Coleman - This guy has the potential to be a 1st or 2nd rounder someday.

Gerald Jones = Santana Moss or Steve Smith

The only ones that are certain to go are the guys this year.

That being said,

Ainge 2nd-5th
Brown 3rd-5th
Cottam (he has to have a monster combine) 3rd-5th
Young 2nd-4th
Hefney is liable to stick with a team for a few years. His combine will make or break him 4th-6th

I disagree, Josh McNeil will be in the first two rounds, definitively 1st day, when he decides to leave. Good centers are hard to find and he is pretty good.

I meant to say the last three on my list are too early to tell but I think I've seen flashes of greatness from two of them, and Ramone Foster said Ben Martin was going to be the best D-lineman in a year or two.

I too am not sure about Foster, I would like to see him drafted though as he has faced some adversity pretty admirably. He has another year to improve his stock and he has good hands.

I for some reason do not think Erik Ainge will be Drafted. He can't stay in the pocket and take a lick. Chris Brown everybody has got it right 3rd or undrafted. Eric Berry first round is he does this every year.

Just glad they have the 3 year rule....or Berry may be gone already :)

Not sure he is that good already, but he is GOOD!

Many of the players I mentioned are based on potential only.

I forgot to mention Hefeny. I think he is a 4th- 6th round guy.
