NFLDraftScout.com Experts Ranks McCoy As Potential First-Rounder
Earlier today, I wrote about Colt McCoy's comments about returning for his senior year and speculated that NFL scouts don't value him as much as some of the other players who left early after similar comments. It's obviously only one opinion, but Matt Rang's declaration of McCoy as a potential first-rounder really blows up my argument and might increase the probability that McCoy leaves.

Colt is listed in some places as being 6'3.
Is that possible? He looks like he’s 6 feet tall. Maybe a half inch taller.
Yes. I watched the QBs at practice
and that is one of the things I want to know. Roster sizes do get abused a little. Sherrod is listed at 6-3, Chiles at 6-2. Colt looked as tall as Sherrod; not one was taller. Both could be 6-2; no way to get a different scale in the time I watched them. I suspect he’s legit. Look at him around other people of known height if you’re so curious.
And Todd McShay (In$ider)
2. Detroit Lions (0-6) — Sam Bradford*, QB, Oklahoma
It’s unlikely Bradford will leave school after his redshirt sophomore season, but he is eligible to do so, and I would select Bradford over any quarterback in the country right now. He receives high marks in all the skill sets important to evaluating a quarterback, including mental capacity, toughness, intangibles, leadership, accuracy, release quickness, footwork and arm strength.
4. Seattle Seahawks (1-5) — Michael Crabtree*, WR, Texas Tech
No wide receivers were drafted in the first round of the ‘08 draft, let alone in the top five picks. Crabtree and his physical gifts are special, though. And if any team is in a position to risk a high pick on Crabtree, it’s the Seahawks, whose wide-receiving corps has been decimated by injuries this season.
10. Cleveland Browns — Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB, Texas
Wells would be a fan-base pleaser, but it’s tough to pull the trigger this high in the draft on a running back with some durability concerns. Instead, Cleveland could take advantage of what projects to be a strong defensive line group by adding a pass-rusher to play opposite Kamerion Wimbley; this is the wiser personnel choice.
