Let me first off make it clear that in my mock draft coming soon, I have Bradford going to the top spot.

The more I think and make mock drafts, the more I find their news-oriented than evolution-oriented, as these teams have secret boards that only they know and people with sources on TV (like Kiper and McShay) change their mock a day before the draft on TV and get a lot right because of the sources they have over, let’s say, me.

But, the best speculation I can do is pick apart the reasons that the Rams could go against the expected and let Bradford go. Judging by more board and if I was the Rams, I would take Ndamukong Suh, but we’ll take a look at the reasons for why it could be a name other than Sam Bradford.

The reason that teams are concerned or excited about a prospect is because there has usually been some ground work and evidence to suggest one of those outcomes. That evidence is looking at former and current players' successes and failures and comparing them to this year's crop of franchise changers or busts.

So, by taking a look at which of this year's top running backs remind of current NFL players, we can possibly get a good indication and projection of their potential of NFL success.

Since 2004, six teams have selected a running back in the top ten selections of the draft. And the theory makes sense to an extent.

Running backs set the tone for the whole offense, they carry the ball usually around 250 times a season, and while a decent back isn’t all that hard to find, having an elite one can lead a team to the promise land.

However, since 2004, only one of those running backs has enjoy the success projected in Adrain Peterson. Ronnie Brown has been a solid albeit struggling back for the Dolphins, and guys like Cedric Benson, Reggie Bush, and Darren McFadden haven’t lived up to their draft hype.

So, that brings us to the main point of this article: Is the 2010 projected top running back, CJ Spiller of Clemson, worthy of being taken in the top 10?

Every year, usually mere days after the draft, ESPN personalities and websites across the internet criticize and immortalize the most recent NFL draft classes.

We’ll take a look at some of the true winners not on a draft by draft basis, but an organization by organization basis and rank all 32 NFL teams and see which franchises and general managers and scouts and war rooms really are the most successful over the past 5 years.

The draft is a misconception to many people. Most look at the 1^st round picks of each team and feel they have an accurate measuring scale. Maybe they look at the late round picks that become starters. But a true indication of a great drafting organization is having guys that continuously make it at the pro level and contribute in some form for many years.

Always one of the most active team’s in the draft, the Patriots have mastered the art of stockpiling 1st and 2nd round picks.

This year, they have 4 picks in the top 53 selections, and only a few needs that really need filling. They’ll be some talent at each of the slots, as this is one of the best draft classes in recent memory in my opinion.

With main needs at 3-4 Outside Linebacker, Tight End, Guard, and Receiver, they could take most or all of those needs, but watch out for a few wildcard luxury picks as well from the always creative Belichek lead Patriot draft assault.

Once viewed as an athletic and mobile left tackle with Top 10 potential from Rutgers, Anthony Davis has started to see his stock slip down boards in recent weeks.

Part of it has to do with the Combine, part of it his most recent pro day, and part of it his entire set of game film that honestly, I wasn’t overly impressed with.

Every year, teams and fans are looking for the next sleeper prospect. Well, outside of our Sleeper section of our website, we have our Top 30, non-FBS (D-1A) 2010 NFL Draft prospects. These round projections are a little loose and are more of where we think they SHOULD go, not where they will.
