Quarterbacks: C+
Michael Vick is not only the best QB, but the best player going into the draft. Other than Vick, Brees is the only other first round pick, and he isn’t a certainty there and may slip into round 2. Quincy Carter is an interesting prospect, who was brilliant in his Freshman year, great in his Sophomore year, and had many saying he’d fight Vick for the Heisman, then disappointed all in his Junior season. He has showed he has skills and is very athletic and makes a lot of plays on his feet. Chris Weinke would have gone higher if he wasn’t 29. Cleo Lemon is someone to look for in round 7, many saying he has all the tools to be a great player one day, he just needs to be worked on.

Half Backs: B-
Not a bad class of HBs with LaDainian Tomlinson, Deuce McAllister and Michael Bennett leading the pack. Bennett may drop draft day, many questioning his running skills. Kevin Barlow is nearly a shoe in to go to San Deigo in the second round. Anthony Thomas may sneak into the first round, and return specialist David Allen is a fourth to fifth rounder.

Full Backs: D
Not much to say here. Only five look to be drafted, three of those (Heath Evens, JaMar Toombs and Jameel Cook) are Juniors. Dan Alexander was looking to be a 2nd round pick at one stage and may go as low as the 4th.

Wide Recievers: A+
Could be up to eight taken in the first round, and plenty of talent would be left over for the second and third. David Terrell has dropped because of an ankle injury, Koren Robinson hurt his hamstrings dropping his 40 time and his draft position, and Rod Gardner is rising as we speak, and those three will battle to be the number 3 pick to Cleveland. Santana Moss’s hight hurts him, but he’ll go before 15. Chad Johnson was thought to be a top ten pick, but has dropped to round 2 because of his shaky background. There are a lot of instant starters and future starters in this group, and is you ever needed a young talented WR, now’s the time!

Tight Ends: C
Todd Heap is the clear leader of this group. Alge Crumpler is a clear second. Tony Stewart and Jabri Holloway will be fighting for third. Most of the TE class will be taken on the second day.

Offensive Tackles: A
There are a lot of massive bodies amongst these guys. Leonard Davis looks to be the top pick and at 6’5” 355lbs, is a big guy, and is extremely strong. One guy that has lost out is Kareem McKenzie, once said to be a top 5 pick, has dropped to second to third round. Another is Char-Ron Dorsey, who now have to wait until day to see what team he’ll be at.

Offensive Guards: B
Only Steve Hutcheson will go in round one, but the OG class has a lot of depth to it. You should be able to pick up a Bernard Robinson, Omar Smith, Paul Zukauskas in rounds three to four. Chad Ward, Jonas Jennings and Mike Gandy and nic round two selections.

Centers: C
It’s lucky that Domonic Riola came out early or this class would be graded much much lower. Casey Rabach, Ben Hamilton and Robert Graza are the next best thing, and those four look to be the only ones taken on day one. Chukky Okobi may be a surprise, he is athletic, quick and has a great burst of speed, but size hurts him.

Defensive Ends: A
There are three potential top 10 picks in this bunch. Justin Smith has been a big suprise, was thought to be taken around round two, but is now leading the DE class, and could go number two to the Cardinals.
Roland Seymore has lost out big time. Once a top 10 pick, now could go as low as round six. Florida State DEs have come under scrutiny because of the style FSU uses their DEs and the very poor success rate that high FSU DEs have in the NFL. So don’t be suprised if Jamal Reynolds falls on draft day, along with his fellow Seminole David Warren, and Seymore has already felt that.

Defensive Tackles: A+
Take your pick at who’s number one out of this group. There’s Gerard Warren, Marcus Stroud, Richard Seymore and Damione Lewis who could climb as high as number 2 in the draft. 
And talent a plenty in rounds two and three, and even four. Another Riches to Rags story is Ennis Davis, some saying he’ll be the number one pick last year.

Outside Linebackers: C
Dan Morgan will be the only LB taken in round one. But there are a fair few lining up to be taken in rounds two and three. Marcus Steele was supposed to be a high first rounder but has dropped down considerably.
Morgan though has kept his position at mid round one and looks to stay there.

Inside Linebackers: D
The first ILB may go as low as round three, and expect about eight to be taken during the draft weekend.
Kendrell Bell is wanted by Washington and may be a second rounder to fill the shoes of Derek Smith.

Cornerbacks: B
This is a position filled with guys who have fallen and guys who have risen. Two that have fallen are juniors Nate Clements and Jamar Fletcher, who were thought of as top ten potential. Two that have risen are Fred Smoot, who is now the number one CB and Willie Middlebrooks who has come out of no where, and is fighting to get into round one. Tay Cody has fallen down and Bhawoh Jue has risen and is another fighting for a round one selection. But there is a lot of depth at this position.

Safties: C
Derek Gibson looks to have a round one pick rapped up, and fast rising Adam Archuleta may be there with him. Rounds two and three is the place to pick up a S with Gary Baxter who has a lot of potential at not ownly S but at CB, Hakim Akbar, James Boyd and Jarrod Cooper to name a few.

Kickers: E
Nick Harris may be the only K taken in about round five.

Punters: C
Vitaly Pisetsky will be the first special teamer taken, and should be about round fourish. could be up to four or five punters taken.

Underclassmen: A+
This is a strong year for underclassmen, mainly because of ‘new franchise fever’. Many have seen the struggles that Cleveland and Tim Couch have had, causing potential number one picks in David Terrell, Kenyatta Walker, Gerard Warren, Michael Bennett and Justin Smith to leave early, Drew Henson to baseball, and Michael Vick and Koren Robinson leaving with two years left, knowing well that Houston will most likely have the next two first overall picks. It has even scared Quincy Carter, who was brilliant in his first two years, but had a poor Junior year, plagued with injury and bad form, to leave for the draft. One more year could have made him a round one choice, but the prospect of regain his brilliant form and going at number one looked to have been too scary. The underclassmen make up this draft, with the top five in my mock all being underclassmen, 11 all up in the first round. The 2001 draft would be a purely depth draft if it wasn’t for these guys.
