I would be really really happy with that.  Is that from today FF?

Kiper's is about a week old, I think.

Besides not knowing much about Travis Wilson, it looks somewhat OK.

Never heard of him too, so I checked him out:

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 215 | 40-Time: 4.52 

Strengths:
Has great size and knows how to use his big frame...An outstanding leaper with good body control and ball skills...Physical and very tough...A solid blocker...Big target who does a good job of getting open...Can get downfield and be a vertical threat...Great in the red zone...A hard worker with good intangibles...Still has some upside and might end up getting drafted a little lower than he should.

Weaknesses:
Does not seem to play as fast as he times and lacks great acceleration...Does not have natural hands and catches the ball with his body too often...Doesn't run great routes...Battled through injuries and missed some games this past season...Had a very disappointing senior campaign dropping from 11 touchdowns to just 1 with his receptions and yards basically cut in half from the year before.

Notes:
Failed to emerge and live up to the lofty expectations everyone had for him as a senior due in part to the uneven play at quarterback and the loss of Mark Clayton and Mark Bradley...Has some tools to work with and an outstanding blend of size / speed...Could be a steal if he reverts back to the form he showed in 2004.

He sounds like Billy McMullen II.  No thanks.

Kiper's Top 25 overall (big board):

1. Reggie Bush, USC (6-0, 200, Junior) | previous rank: same
Bush will give the team that drafts him a multifaceted offensive attack. He's dangerous from the backfield, as a slot receiver and in the return game.

2. Mario Williams, DE, NC State (6-7, 285, Junior) | previous rank: 3
A dominant physical presence who had some great individual performances at the end of last season. Williams is a big, strong pro-type defensive end and has all the skills NFL coaches are looking for as an every-down player.

3. Matt Leinart, QB, USC (6-4, 225) | previous rank: 2
His arm strength has improved since last season, and he threw the ball even better in 2005. Leinart didn't repeated as the Heisman Trophy winner, but he makes plays when he has to. He should remain near the very top of the draft board.

4. Vince Young, QB, Texas (6-5, 233, Junior) | previous rank: 5
Young's stock has risen considerably since an amazing performance in the Rose Bowl. He's big, strong and exceptionally fast. The New Orleans Saints will have to consider taking him as the No. 2 pick in the draft.

5. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, T, Virginia (6-5½, 295) | previous rank: 4
The top offensive lineman in this draft, Ferguson will be an ideal left tackle in the NFL.

6. A.J. Hawk, LB, Ohio State (6-1½, 242) | previous rank: 7
The top defensive player in the senior class. An instinctive player and a sure tackler, he knows which angles to take to the ball and finds his way through traffic. Hawk should be able to help out a team right away.

7. Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland (6-3, 250, Junior) | previous rank: 8
Physically gifted athlete who plays the tight end like a wide receiver. Davis is a phenomenal pass catcher and is a better prospect than when Kellen Winslow came out of Miami.

8. Michael Huff, DB, Texas (6-1, 205) | previous rank: 6
Athletic and instinctive, he has shown the versatility to play cornerback or safety at the next level.

9. Brodrick Bunkley, DT, Florida State, (6-3, 306) | previous rank: 17
He was the story of the combine on the defensive side of the ball. He ran 4.99 in the 40-yard dash and bench pressed 225 pounds 44 times. He has a wide upper body and is quick on his feet. He also has a great attitude, and based on his workouts, he's guaranteed to be a first-round pick.

10. Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon (6-5, 338, Junior) | previous rank: same
Ngata will be more than a defensive tackle who just clogs the interior because his strength and athleticism will allow him to penetrate and make plays behind the line of scrimmage.

11. Kamerion Wimbley, DE, Florida State (6-4, 248) | previous rank: 23
He might be an outside linebacker in the right scheme. Wimbley ran a 4.63, which was a very good time, and had a vertical leap of 38½ inches.

12. Chad Jackson, Florida, WR (6-1, 213, Junior) | previous rank: 24
His times in the 40-yard dash were 4.32 and 4.37. Jackson caught the ball well and stood out among the receivers in Indianapolis. He's done everything the right way since the season ended and has moved himself into that first-round mix.

13. Santonio Holmes, WR, Ohio State (5-10, 185, Junior) | previous rank: 16
He is very tough and is willing to make catches in traffic. Holmes is a very good route runner and has a good burst out of his break. He doesn't have the greatest size, but toughness counts. He should be the first wide receiver taken off the board.

14. Winston Justice, T, USC (6-6, 311, Junior) | previous rank: 22
A great athlete and very gifted, Justice is as good as any right tackle in the country at getting down field beyond the defensive line. He'll be able to play either tackle positions in the NFL.

15. DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis (5-9, 215) | previous rank: 9
An exceptional running back, especially since he did not play behind one of the best offensive lines. Could very well be a top-10 pick for a team that needs a running back who can do it all.

16. Chad Greenway, LB, Iowa (6-2½, 244) | previous rank: 20
He was one of the nation's top-flight linebackers the past two years. A smart player with great physical skills, Greenway has a nose for the ball. He'll help out a team right away.

17. Donte Whitner, S, Ohio St. (5-11, 205, Junior) | previous rank: unranked
He has moved up the draft board fast since the season ended. Whitner is versatile enough to play either cornerback or safety.

18. Tye Hill, CB, Clemson (5-9½, 181) | previous rank: same
Hill is not especially big, but he has long arms, phenomenal speed and great confidence. He had one of the better weeks at the Senior Bowl, which should propel him into the first round.

19. Ernie Sims, LB, Florida State (6-0, 200, Junior) | previous rank: 14
Sims finished fourth on FSU with 70 tackles this season. He's an extremely fast 'backer who's used to being the focus of opposing offenses' game plans.

20. Jay Cutler, QB, Vanderbilt (6-3¼, 227) | previous rank: 15
He's the next best QB in the senior class behind Leinart. Cutler has gone from being a potential first-round pick to possibly going in the top 10.

21. Jimmy Williams, CB, Virginia Tech (6-2½, 207) | previous rank: 12
Williams gave the Hokies a shutdown cornerback who could lock up the opposition's top receiver. He eliminates one side of the field. A former safety who moved to corner before the 2004 season.

22. Johnathan Joseph, CB, South Carolina (5-11, 187, Junior) | previous rank: unranked
He is a true cornerback and one of the fastest players in the draft. A team like San Diego would be an ideal fit for Joseph.

23. Laurence Maroney, RB, Minnesota (5-11, 205, Junior) | previous rank: 13
A very good, natural runner who is smooth and patient. Maroney allowed his blocks to develop and then showed a good burst of speed through openings. He has good vision and the ability to shift gears quickly.

24. Jason Allen, S, Tennessee (6-2, 202) | previous rank: unranked
Allen was one of the top seniors in 2005 before his season ended with a hip injury. However, he has battled back from injury and his versatility (he can also play cornerback) has propelled him into the first-round mix.

25. Richard Marshall, CB, Fresno State (5-11, 190, Junior) | previous rank: unranked
Also a true cover corner, Marshall projects as a first-round pick. He led the Bulldogs in solo tackles (57), interceptions (three) and pass break-ups (11).

Brick at number 5 behind Vince Young?  Mel combed his hair too tight when he wrote this one up. 

[The BIGSTUD]

People actually do 7 round mocks?

What the hell.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

McShay has nothing better to do with his time.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Brick at number 5 behind Vince Young?  Mel combed his hair too tight when he wrote this one up. 

That is why I hate Mel. His pride factor. He thinks he is always the de-facto expert, and once he makes his first analysis of his "blue-chips" -well before the combine- normallly nothing will sway him from that judgement. Leinhart could come out and say, "I will only play football until Hollywood accepts me..." and Mel would still have him slotted same slot.

[Dillen]

He sounds like Billy McMullen II.  No thanks.

16. Chad Greenway, LB, Iowa (6-2½, 244) | previous rank: 20
He was one of the nation's top-flight linebackers the past two years. A smart player with great physical skills, Greenway has a nose for the ball. He'll help out a team right away.

Before the year I ment to watch alot of Wilson but only saw a few games. He went into the year as a first rounder, but really dropped off.


Looking at Greenway and your avatar, im curios as to why you wouldnt want the Eagles to draft him.

[Wingspan]

Weaknesses:
Does not seem to play as fast as he times and lacks great acceleration...Does not have natural hands and catches the ball with his body too often...Doesn't run great routes...Battled through injuries and missed some games this past season...Had a very disappointing senior campaign dropping from 11 touchdowns to just 1 with his receptions and yards basically cut in half from the year before.

it's safe to assume that "not natural" does not mean "bionic" in this case?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Travis Wilson sucks.

Give me Jeff Webb, Greg Jennings or Brandon Marshall.

Yes, I will be pimping those three names for the next two weeks.

[The BIGSTUD]

Brandon Marshall is huge. I mentioned him on here before too, but his lack of experience at WR scares me.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Travis Wilson sucks.

So.....you are saying he is a lock?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Looking at Greenway and your avatar, im curios as to why you wouldnt want the Eagles to draft him.

Because I think he would prove to be a liability against the run and really no better overall than Dhani at SAM.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I think Greenway would actually make a decent WIL. We just don't need one of those as badly as a SAM. He will probably wind up in a 3-4....and roam....being a tackle machine. I don't think he'll be a terrible LB at the next level, but he doesn't fit in Philly at the moment, unless for some strange reason, they drafted him to be the WIL.

[ice grillin you]

jaws just said he loves maurice stovall but he 'would probably be a reach at 14'
