Admins: Am I allowed to request that a thread be archived?  Time to put your cards on the table. If you want to say in three years "I knew that guy was going to be a bust" or "I told everyone we should draft him!" this is your reference point. Rules: I've listed below 20 players that are likely to go in the first round. Your job is to (1) pick five players you predict will be consistently good, Pro Bowlers, All-Pros, however you want to define "worthy of a first-round pick." Then (2) pick five players who you predict will bust. Either complete failures, never living up to expectations, or however you want to define "not worthy of a first-round pick." So you must make a prediction on 10 out of the 20. If you want to make an additional prediction not involving one of these players, be my guest. Eric Berry Sam Bradford Dez Bryant Bryan Bulaga Bruce Campbell Jimmy Clausen Anthony Davis Joe Haden Mike Iupati Rolando McClain Gerald McCoy Derrick Morgan Jason Pierre-Paul Russel Okung Maurkice Pouncey C.J. Spiller Ndamukong Suh Earl Thomas Dan Williams Trent Williams

I'm going to go with
Worthy:
Jimmy Clausen
Joe Haden
Gerald McCoy
Earl Thomas
Trent Williams
Not Worthy:
Dez Bryant
Bruce Campbell
Anthony Davis
Jason Pierre-Paul
Bryan Bulaga
And I think one of the 2 DT's is going to be a good player but not a sure fire hall of famer. (Went with McCoy on this one.)

Sam Bradford
Jason Pierre-Paul

This is a great pre-draft thread. I'm no talent evaluator, but I'll give it a go.
Worthy: I think all of these guys are highly talented and have the work ethic and temperment to succeed.
Eric Berry
Gerald McCoy
Ndamukong Suh
Bryan Bulaga (as a right tackle)
CJ Spiller
Busts: These players are either Gholstons, lazy or I just don't buy the hype
Bruce Campbell
Jason Pierre-Paul
Anthony Davis
Trent Williams
Sam Bradford
I can't wait to see what Snohomie and English post.

I'd like to add a couple later round picks that I believe will be pro-bowlers
Amari Spievey, especially if drafted by a team that uses a cover-2 (Rnd 3ish)
Toby Gerhart, he'll dominate defenses, and is the kind of guy who will improve every year (Rnd 3ish)

He breaks the tackle of Shanle, runs through Sharper, runs through Ayodele! Runs through Jabari Greer! "Get off me," he says to Tracy Porter! Look all the way down the field; Hasslebeck, all the offensive linemen. Are you kidding me!?
