2010 NFL Draft: Bleacher Report's Big Board of the Top 50 Prospects

Daniel WolfApr 12, 2010

With the countdown getting closer and closer to draft day, and with Pro Days wrapped, it is time to bust out the big board for my only top 50 prospect ranking of the offseason.

After scouring the Internet for every big board I could find, I took them all into consideration and came out of that intense research session with the following list.

Here is my official big board with the top 50 players who are coming into the 2010 NFL Draft.

Vikings Rookies Football

Vikings Rook's Custom Chain šŸ¦

No. 1 - Ndamukong Suh, DL, Nebraska

Great quickness and strength with a motor that does not stop.

No. 2 – Gerald McCoy, DL, Oklahoma

Solid technique player.

No. 3 – Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

Complete package to dominate the defensive backfield.

No. 4 – Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

Great leader with accuracy and athletic ability.

No. 5 – Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

Very long arms and a four-year starter who consistently shut down top pass rushers.

No. 6 – Earl Thomas, S, Texas

Great Playmaking potential even though he is said to be too small at 5'10ā€ (Troy Polamalu is 5'10ā€ too).

No. 7 – Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa

Plays aggressively and with a mean streak, but is also very well coached.

No. 8 – Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

Well coached and great fundamentals to play on both the right or left sides.

No. 9 – C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson

Fast and explosive, along with being tough in between the tackles and great durability.

No. 10 – Derrick Morgan, DE, Georiga

A 4-3 defensive end with both speed and power who also was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year

No. 11 – Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama

Very smart player who can play all three downs and can blitz.

No. 12 – Joe Haden, CB, Florida

True freshman starter with good coverage ability.

No. 13 – Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho

Very mean blocker who might be able to play tackle as well.

No. 14 – Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State

Has the skills to be a very good lockdown corner in the NFL who can also return kicks.

No. 15 – Dan Williams, DL, Tennessee

Can play in either a 3-4 or 4-3 system, but needs to watch his weight.

No. 16 – Brandon Graham, DE/LB, Michigan

Best suited as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, plays very strong and fast.

No. 17 – Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State

Despite character concerns, Bryant's ability still ranks him in the top 20.

No. 18 – Jason Pierre-Paul, DE/LB, South Florida

Minimal football experience, but a high potential if he can pick up the pro game quickly.

No. 19 – Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma

As long as he is fully recovered from his knee issues, Gresham could be the next Kellen Winslow-type at tight end causing matchup problems for defenses.

No. 20 – Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida

Very smart and determined to succeed. Played in the Sugar Bowl just hours after a kidney stones treatment.

No. 21 – Jared Odrick, DL, Penn State

A great Pro Day combines with the versatility to play any spot on the line has moved him up the board.

No. 22 – Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georiga Tech

Ridiculous potential who averaged 25 yards per catch. Broken foot may keep him out of the first round though.

No. 23 – Sergio Kindle, DE/LB, Texas

Amazingly gifted athlete who won player of the year honors in high school on both offense and defense.

No. 24 – Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama

Moving up the charts due to his ability to play either on top of a receiver or off him too.

No. 25 – Everson Griffen, DE, USC

Fast first step to get to quarterbacks, but needs to get better in run support.

No. 26 – Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland

Campbell doesn't have a stereotypical offensive lineman body and looks more like a linebacker, but with the right coaching could become one of the best. Still a project though.

No. 27 – Ryan Matthews, RB, Fresno State

Strong runner who can also block and catch passes well.

No. 28 – Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri

Said to be a good fit at outside linebacker, but his size seems like a better fit as an inside linebacker instead. Made plays everywhere on the field in college.

No. 29 – Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame

Former running back excelled as a wide receiver, but has plenty to learn. Ridiculously fast in small spaces and in the open field who can be an asset in the return game as well.

No. 30 – Jerry Hughes, DE/LB, TCU

Former running back who is compared to last year's Brian Orakpo. A pass rushing threat on day one.

No. 31 – Brian Price, DL, UCLA

Very quick and explosive for being over 300 pounds. May be better suited as an end in a 3-4 defense.

No. 32 – Charles Brown, OT, USC

Good ability who needs to add more strength, but has been well coached.

No. 33 – Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame

His cocky attitude has been in question by many teams who think he may be too narcissistic and leading Notre Dame to only a best record of 7-6 says he may have trouble winning games when it counts.

No. 34 – Jahvid Best, RB, California

Great speed and loves to run inside, but durability may be an issue too.

No. 35 – Taylor Mays, S, USC

Still needs to work on his game, but potential talent and size will keep him in the first round.

No. 36 – Colt McCoy, QB, Texas

Size may be in question, but McCoy is the winningest quarterback in college history and he is highly mobile with great throwing mechanics.

No. 37 – Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers

Always around the ball, but needs to work on his run support.

No. 38 – Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers

Good movement for a 320-plus pounder, but his commitment and character have come into question.

No. 39 – Linval Joseph, OT, East Carolina

Coming out of nowhere to land in the top 50, Joseph has all the tools to be very good in a year or two.

No. 40 – Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State

Has the size and abilities to cover either No. 1 or No. 2 wide receivers in the NFL.

No. 41 – Navorro Bowman, LB, Penn State

Bowman's instincts will give a lucky team playmaking talent that cannot be taught.

No. 42 – Tim Tebow, QB, Florida

Bad throwing mechanics or not, nobody can question Tebow's physical gifts and abilities.

No. 43 – Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama

Cody has controlled his weight recently and if he can continue this then he will make it nearly impossible for opponents to run inside against him.

No. 44 – Lamarr Houston, DL, Texas

Another former running back (wow!) who is very agile for a 300 pounder. Houston will be an asset in either the 3-4 or 4-3 system.

No. 45 – Daryl Washington, LB, TCU

Very aggressive player who needs to add some bulk to his 230 pound frame.

No. 46 – Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois

Benn has been in a steady move up the boards since his Pro Day workout. He has the potential to be a No. 1 receiver in the league if he can stay focused on that goal.

No. 47 – Tyson Alualu, DE, California

Strong and powerful with great instincts and a mean streak too. Alualu's motor does not stop.

No. 48 – Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona

Can be very deadly in the NFL creating mismatches as long as he is 100 percent healthy.

No. 49 – Vlad Ducasse, OT, Massachusetts

Very hard worker who needs to focus on his technique more.

No. 50 - Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida

Even though many have concerns about Spikes and his stock has dropped, he is still a very talented athlete.
