NFL Draft 2011 rankings: Breaking the top 100 with James and Jacquizz Rodgers

by Dan Kadar on Oct 7, 2010 12:00 PM EDT in 2011 NFL Draft

Throughout the day, we're releasing our 2011 NFL Draft rankings in batches of 25. After the jump find 100-76.

Spotlight on: Terrelle Pryor, QB, Ohio State

As a pro prospect, what is Terrelle Pryor? First the obvious. His arm is perhaps as big as Ryan Mallett's. He's athletic as Vince Young coming out of Texas. He's got exemplary size and strength. He's in this grouping, though, because he's still not quite the sum of his parts. He doesn't have to make complex reads, call audibles or take snaps under center. He can run like he does in college, but it might not roll over to the pros. All told, Pryor could be much higher in the rankings by year's end. For now, he still has plenty tor prove.

Find 75-51 in an hour. Have your own rankings? Put them in a FanPost and share.

Thanks man. A really smart guy from SBN suggested I split them up and I think it was a neat, different idea.

As for Miller, I think he’s so pigeon-holed as a pass rusher, I have a hard time thinking more highly of him.

Really hoping for Ballard to Indy as a consolation prize,

since I gave up on Indy being able to get Clayborn a long time ago. Seems like a guy 3-4 teams will love with his size/athleticism, but almost feels like a waste to have him eating blocks with how successful he’s been shooting gaps at the 3-tech since Iowa moved him inside last year.

Choke/Clutch is the fetishization of the small sample size.

i doubt TP will leave early...he still has A LOT of development to go through...

i see him as a WR/TE @ 6’6 235lbs runs a 4.31..he would be a work in progress. but if Julian Edlerman, Josh Cribbs and few others can covert to WR…i dont see a problem

I’m still not closing the book on him as a QB in the NFL.

agreed

He should stick in college another year, but since last year he looks a lot better.

I still think he’s more Vince Young then he is Matt Jones (minus the yayo), but at Texas VY got the benefit of that wide open O that skews pretty much every QB’s stats.

I’ve seen Pryor make a lot of NFL throws. He’ll be a 1st round pick (if Tebow was..Pryor will be too) but if that team is smart they’ll bring him along slowly.

Ryan Williams only 83?

by Yankees10 on Oct 7, 2010 2:48 PM EDT reply actions

Just curious on your reasoning for not having him higher

by Yankees10 on Oct 7, 2010 9:19 PM EDT up reply actions

Sorry, skipped over this one on accident.

He doesn’t look like he’s running as hard this season as he did in 09.

ah ok, no problem

yeah, he hasn’t done as well as last year and has battled injuries. I wouldnt suggest him entering the draft after this year.

I can’t shake the feeling that Minnesota will sign Childress’ “protege” Donovan McNabb and then draft Pryor in ’11 or ’12 to try to develop McNabb v. 2.0.
