Official Updated NN Offseason Discussion Thread

We've had a great discussion going in Drew K's list of college prospects, but it's certainly filling up. As the threads fill up, the load time increases, so it makes sense to open up a new thread. If folks would rec this we'll be able to keep it up top for the next week or two. Even if it gets promoted to the top, keeping Rec'ing it. The more it's Rec'd, the longer it stays up.

To add a little something to get things going here, I thought I'd post the official rankings for some positions from Scout's Inc over at ESPN.com. It's Insider protected and I'd say a little more valuable than some other sites out there. Obviously everybody is entitled to their opinions, but for the purposes of this discussion, I'll stick with the guys getting paid as scouts. I'm not sure how updated these rankings are at this point, so certainly take them with a bit of a grain of salt.

For now I'm looking primarily at positions that have generated the most discussion. After each player I've included the Scouts Inc rating (out of 100). I left out outside linebacker and defensive tackle at this point. OLB doesn't distinguish between 3-4/4-3 OLBs and defensive tackle doesn't distinguish between nose tackles. So, we'll add those probably more in the offseason.
