THE CLASS OF 2005

Here is how the first round may look in 2005.

1.KEVIN JONES - RB - Virgina Tech
There haven't been many with his size and speed combination. His 4.23 in the forty, if accurate is incredible and definitely NFL stock.

2.DJ SHOCKLEY - QB - Georgia
He's not ranked as the top QB in this class but something tells me Shockley will become a star at Georgia and become a top NFL prospect.

3.MARQUISE HILL - DT - LSU
Again, he's not ranked as the top DT but the 6'8 Hill has the ability to become a dominant SEC player and become a top notch NFL prospect.

4.REGGIE WILLIAMS - WR - Washington
They just don't make much better athletes. The 6'4 Williams runs a 4.3 and also is one of the best leapers in the country. He has star written al over him.


5.DOMINIC ROBINSON - CB - Florida State
Robinson has been touted as the next Deion Sanders. He has Deion type athletic ability and if Florida State's past defensive success is any indication, Robinson should become a star.

6.ROSCOE CORSBY - WR - Clemson
Another great athlete at wideout. Just a prediction but Crosby and QB Willie Simmons should form a great duo for the tigers.

7.LEON WILLIAMS - LB - Miami
What an incredible athlete. He's built like a Linebacker and he hits like one. The Cane's tradition at LB isn't too shabby either.

8.JONATHON SCOTT - OL - Texas
This guy is huge and quick. He should become a top player for the Longhorns.

9.TOMMIE HARRIS - DT - Oklahoma
The #1 DT in the nation and it's easy to see why. Harris dominated high school opponents and now looks to do the same for the Sooners.

10.ADRIAN McPHERSON - QB - Florida State
This guy has NFL type talent. At 6'5, he's tall, and he's fast (4.55). Also a star on the hardwood, McPherson may the the Noles' QB of the future.


11.MATTHEW WARE - CB - UCLA
A 6'4 CB with 4.4 speed. Scary. What's scarier is that Ware could also be a top QB prospect. It looks like he will be a CB though.

12.MARCUS SPEARS - TE - LSU
An outstanding combination of size, speed and hands. Spears could become a dominant Tight End and along with MIchael Clayton, catch a lot of passes for the Tigers.

13.JABARI DAVIS - RB - Tennessee
The J-Train is a bulldozer in the Jerome Bettis mold. Combine his 230 lbs with 4.6 speed and you have a scary combination for defenses.

14.BLAKE LARSEN - OL - Iowa
Larsen is huge and tough. Just the kind of player that the Big 10 sends to the NFL every year.

15.MICHAEL CRAVEN - LB - USC
This guy has NFL written all over him. A 6'2 frame with 4.45 speed and a 4.2 GPA. It doesn't hurt that he's a Junior Seau clone either.

16.LARRY FITZGERALD - WR - Pittsburgh
He's not that highly ranked but the 6'4 Fitzgerald has 4.4 speed and freakish athletic ability. He was a Viking ball boy where he became Randy Moss and Cris Carter's protege.

17.CEDRIC BENSON - RB - Texas
This guy could become a star. He's not blazingly fast but runs tough and runs hard. He has an Emmitt Smith type running style and that's not too bad.

18.CHAUNCEY DAVIS - DE - Florida State
The Seminoles put DE's in the draft every year and Davis is a great athlete who could become the next great 'Noles pass rusher.


19.EARNEST SHAZOR - S - Michigan
He's 6'4 and has 4.5 speed. He hits like a LB but covers like a S. A great prospect.

20.KEVIN SIMON - LB - Tennessee
A speedy LB who isn't big but makes plays. Should carry on a great Vols tradition on defense

21.BRYAN RANDALL - QB - Virgina Tech
He's not Michael Vick but then again, who is? On the other hand, he's bigger than Vick and a good runner in his own right. He should form a great combo with RB Kevin Jones.

22.JAMI HIGHTOWER - OT - Texas A&M
A big body with good athleticism. Should help that Aggie run game out.

23.SHAUN CODY - DE - USC
A wonderful athlete who is a great pass rusher. He could become a dominant force for the Trojans and has the athletic ability to play at the next level.

24.JOE MAUER - QB - Florida State
If he doesn't committ to baseball and makes himself a football player (much like Drew Henson did) Mauer could move way up on this list.

25.STERLING HICKS - WR - North Carolina State
Torry Holt, Koren Robinson and now maybe Hicks. At 6'2 with a long stride, he may remind many people of Robinson but he and QB Phillip Rivers should create a name for their own.

26.MARLIN JACKSON - CB - Michigan
A physical corner who should help Michigan's woes in the secondary. Should make a great team with Earnest Shazor.


27.JOE HUCKEBA - LB - Arkansas
A great athlete with size and speed and should become the leader of the Hog defense.

28.DEREK ANDERSON - QB - Oregon State
Don't be surprised if Anderson leads the Beavers just as far as Jonathon Smith did. His huge 6'6 frame and big arm should remind PAC-10 fans of Drew Bledsoe.

29.AHMAD CARROL - CB - Florida State
"The Batman" is a 6'0 corner with 4.3 speed and is famous for delivering big hits on WRs.

30.PIERRE WOODS - DE - Michigan
A great talent with great pass rushing skills. Woods should be a great NFL prospect with some added weight.

31.CARNELL WILLIAMS - RB - Alabama
Last season the Tide really missed Shaun Alexander. Williams is the big time back the Tide need to get back to the top.


32.CHARLES RUSH - DT - Penn State
Rush and LB Leon Williams aren't Arrington and Brown, but they are both immensly talented and should both be in the NFL someday.
