7-Justin Blackmon-WR-Oklahoma State
8.Morris Claiborne-CB-LSU
9.Fletcher Cox-DT-Mississippi State
10.Quinton Coples-DE-North Carolina
11.David DeCastro-OG-Stanford
12.Dre’ Kirkpatrick-CB-Alabama
13.Michael Brockers-DT-LSU
14.Jonathan Martin-OT-Stanford
15.Michael Floyd-WR- Notre Dame
16.Cordy Glenn-OL-Georgia
17.Devon Still-DT- Penn State
18. Whitney Mercilus-DE- Illinois
19.Coby Fleener-TE- Stanford
20.Nick Perry-DE- USC
21.Luke Kuechly-LB- Boston College
22.Kevin Zeitler-OG- Wisconsin
23.Ryan Tannehill-QB- Texas A&M
24.Doug Martin-RB- Boise State
25.Jerel Worthy-DT- Michigan State
26.Bobby Wagner-LB- Utah State
27.Stephon Gilmore-CB- South Carolina
28.Kendall Wright-WR- Baylor
29.Dwayne Allen-TE- Clemson

is it still "guaranteed" Poe won't go in the top 23?
edit: now i'm worried gilmore won't be there for us at 24. hopefully he gets roughed up and can't work out at his pro day:/

Yeah - a few interesting names. Wonder if Reiff might be a guy we look at if he is available. http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=6198Oh, and I don't buy off on Poe being ranked #3. That is ridiculous...he had a great combine but where is the tape to support such a loft draft pick. No way he goes in the top-10.

Poe was viewed as a 1st round pick BEFORE the combine, should come as little surprise that his stock has gone up since his impressive workout.

That is ridiculous...he had a great combine but where is the tape to support such a loft draft pick. No way he goes in the top-10. Reiff is definitely an option to me. Right now my first round draft board is looking like: David DeCastro, OG Michael Floyd, WR Luke Keuchly, ILB Dre Kirkpatrick, CB Courtney Upshaw, OLB* Dontari Poe, NT Stephon Gilmore, CB Riley Reiff, OG/OT Dont'a Hightower, ILB Mark Barron, SS** Cordy Glenn, OG and I don't see Poe anywhere near 3 either. clearly a top 20 pick after the combine to me, but i just can't see someone going top 10 with that kind of production at a smaller school. *upshaw is there based on tape, i almost expect his pro day to kill his stock though. **Barron also rated here by tape, but I'm guessing his proday will be more or less fine.

as an aside... not so much for the Steelers RD 1 pick: thoughts on what Coby Fleener projects to be as an NFL player? I can't decide if he'll live up to the hype... haven't seen him play enough

I can't decide if he'll live up to the hype... haven't seen him play enough Just my opinion...but Fleener sucks. He is Heath Miller without the blocking ability. I don't see elite separation or RAC ability. Even if he develops that, he's Chris Cooley. I would take him in the 4th, but no where near the 1st.
