CORAL GABLES, FL - NOVEMBER 10:   Cornerback Vic Hall #4 and Gordie Sammis #79 of the Virginia Cavaliers celebrate a fumble return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Miami Hurricanes at the Orange Bowl November 10, 2007 in Coral Gables, Flo

Just like the great Ryan Leaf, tons of hype follow some NFL Draft prospects. Come next Thursday, we will see what teams select the players that I about to give you. And those players will start stealing money as soon as possible.

Please let me know what you think, I could be wrong, but I very rarely am.

Jonathan Dwyer

95597365

This guy is big, fat, and slow. Those are things that will not fit in today's NFL. You know, because it isn't 1973 anymore. He was a very productive back in a gimmick system. He is a bust waiting to happen.

Most disturbing is that during the break between the end of the season to the Combine he couldn't, or just didn't, drop weight. Something that all the scouts commented on, also he ran a 40 you could time with a sun dial.

Demaryius Thomas

93538541

BeBe Thomas? Don't believe the hype. Another GT gimmick offense product, but this is way worse than Dwyer.

Riddle me this: How can Tim Tebow get ripped for playing in a system offense that didn't ask him to do everything that the NFL is gonna ask him to do, but a Thomas gets a pass for the same thing, only worse?

Thomas is a receiver with shaky hands. He only knows how to run two routes, has never had to beat double coverage, was never asked to find the holes in a zone, and has never had to deal with being keyed in upon because the running game of GT was keys one, two, and three for a defense.

People thought Darrius Heyward-Bey was a first round reach. Wait until this guy is out of the NFL in three years and working at Best Buy.

Jimmy Clausen

94137137

C'mon, does anyone really think this guy is gonna be good? People talk about his pedigree like his brothers were good.

People say he was taught by the "King of Schematic Advantage" Charlie Weis. How is Brady Quinn (who was better than Clausen at ND) doing?

They say he has a quick release. Huh? What film are they watching? Everything he throws it looks like he is pushing the ball with every fiber of his being.

Thaddeus Gibson

93287459

Please, can we stop hyping Ohio State defensive players? Please. And don't say A.J. Hawk. A blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes.

But what about Andy Katzenmoyer, Barbie Carpenter, Chris Gamble, Anthony Schlegel, and Vernon Gholston (who may be the worst player ever)? And I won't even mention the offensive busts like Ted Ginn.

Just stay away from this guy.

Jason Pierre-Paul

97244015

Be very wary of one-year wonders. This guy is worse than a one year wonder, he is a one-year guy. Who cares if he can do backflips all day long (Youtube it, it is kind of impressive), how does that help you on the field?

This guy won't be a bust down the road, he is a bust right now.

Patrick Robinson

95625773

This guy was good, but not great on the last two defenses at FSU, who were maybe the worst D's at FSU since Burt Reynolds and Lee Corso were there.

If anyone spends a first-rounder on this guy, they deserve what they get. But maybe he can score that owner some Smoothie King smoothies at the counter in a few years.

Speed? Check.

Size? Check.

Strength? Check.

Coverage Skills? Yikes.

Football Awareness? (Crickets).

Big Hitter? Check.

Next Roy Williams? Check.

Worth a first round pick? Not a chance in hell.
