Check out the names.
1) Barkely

3) Tyler Wilson

9) Mike Glennon

12) Logan Thomas
I am beginning to think this class will bomb out and be one of the worst since 2010 or 2007. Gino Smith could be the only guy starting - this year's Sam Bradford:
1) Barkely - not a great arm, not much of an athlete
2) G. Smith - good but not great - has struggled at times
3) Tyler Wilson - has not been that productive - supporting cast or his issues?
4) EJ. Manuel - I did not leave the game I saw him in with a good feeling
5) Tyler Bray - uneven and some dumb off field moves - Ryan Leaf?
6) Ryan Nassib - Have not seen him so cannot comment
7) A. Murray - he may have Brees height but I am not sure he has his arm - will watch closely this weekend vs Bama
8) Landry Jones - not impressed - he looked as bad against KSU as Gabbert did vs Nebraska - that is how he will be playing on Sundays
9) Mike Glennon - OK but had some bad games - like the size
10) Zac Dysert - interesting but played badly vs good teams - and he has to be close to a record in career sacks
11) Collin Klein - picked a bad time of year to go cold - just as voters were looking over their Heisman ballots
12) Logan Thomas - no way - too inconsistent
I am still pulling a little for Matt Scott - I think he is an unpolished gem that might surprise a lot of people - he is the only QB to do well this year against Stanford - far surpassing Barkley just two weeks after - 491 yards and 3 TDs vs Barkley's 254 and 0 Tds
No, this class will likely be soon forgotten - 4 years from now they may not have a starter in the NFL
Looking forward to 2013:
Manuel - most upside in the draft
Woods - most pro ready WR
Alonso - tall ILB with coverage skills
Goodwin - fastest WR in draft
Duke Williams - prince of a pick
Meeks - no he is not
Hopkins - best K prospect in the draft
Gragg - vertical threat TE
Go ahead and complain - I am happy with this draft
Adopt a Bill - first choice Alonso, second Goodwin
