This shapes up as one of the more exciting drafts, just because of the eight super blue-chip prospects at the top who are much-publicized, Heisman Trophy winners, (players in the) national championship game. Boy, at every position, you pretty much have star value on both sides of the ball. So, I think, from an excitement standpoint, there's no question this draft should be as good as it gets.

Workout numbers for offensive linemen historically have been very overrated. That's when you get back to who can sustain a block and stay on his feet and give you the fire you need. You always look at who is a true football player in this draft. You throw out the workout numbers, and Jason Spitz from Louisville will be one of those guys.

Teams still prioritize corner. When you think of all the wide receivers drafted, like Detroit taking a wide receiver (in the first round) three years in a row, you need corners to match up and not just one or two, you need three.
