As I mentioned before, ESPN's Bill Parcells Special last night was excellent. For those who could not watch here was his draft board for a number of prospects:
QB:
1st: Newton, Gabbert
2nd: Mallett, Ponder, Locker
3rd: Dalton, KaepernickWR:
1st: Green, Jones
2nd: Smith, Cobb, Young
3rd: Hankerson, Baldwin, Pettis, Jernigan, GatesRB:
1st: Ingram
2nd: Williams, Thomas, Leshoure
3rd: Murray, HunterTE:
1st: Rudolph
2nd: NoneOT:
1st: Solder, Smith, Castonzo
2nd: Sherrod, Reid
3rd: Cannon, Carimi, IjalanaOG:
1st: None
2nd: Watkins, Wisniewski
3rd: Carpenter, Rackley
4th: Boling, MoffittOC:
1st: Pouncey
2nd: None
3rd: Hudson
4th: Fusco
DE:
1st: Watt, Bowers, Heyward, Jordan, Quinn, Clayborne
2nd: Bailey, Acho
3rd: Ballard, Sheard, McPhee

4th: Jones, SturdivantS:
1st: None
2nd: Moore, McDanielCB:
1st: Peterson, Amukamara
2nd: Smith, Williams, Brown, Harris
My biggest takeaways from the board:
- Only 2 1st Round QBs: Parcells was asked about this and what if you're a team that needs a QB and Gabbert and Newton are gone. He said you're basically SOL and have to bite the bullet and draft a QB or they will all be gone
- Carimi with a 3rd Round grade
- Jah Reid's highest rating I've seen
- Brooks Reed has a 4th Round grade
- WR rankings are very interesting
I think a lot of these ratings are spot on though.
