Every time i watch him, he just doesn't seem to be very fluid making lateral cuts. Once again, i'm not saying that he's not a very good prospect, but to put him on the level of AP isn't warranted IMO.
I like Richardson, so this comp may be viewed more negatively than it should be, but he reminds me a bit of Lynch. Of course, I loved Lynch out of college and he never reached the ceiling that I had hoped for.

I think Cordy Glenn can be a pretty special G. A less angry version of Carl Nicks, who probably isn't all that angry anymore anyway.

Who else...I think Vinny Curry could be a nasty DE/OLB if he gets there...Blackmon is an absolute stud...I do like Kalil enough to think he'll be a stud pass protector...Konz is a stud C prospect...Janoris Jenkins is going to be nasty, 5'9 or not....Coples reminds me alot of Justin Tuck, but he's got 20 pounds on college Justin Tuck so that could be off....Devon Still gets on here just for being the first Penn State guy I think is legit in forever...Mark Barron is an underrated stud safety prospect who can become a staple/anchor in someone's secondary for a decade....Hightower is another guy I like like that...if Burfict finds the right coach (Rex Ryan) then it's game over man...gave over...Fleener isn't special, but he's going to be some QB's favorite pass catcher...Miller or Richardson with the right teams/O-Lines....then obviously Luck...I'll throw RG3 in too.

Maybe 2 of these guys are actually "special"...that said I think there's definitely a group of players I really like before things really get going.

Against the #1 Defense in the NCAA. I don't know many other 225 lb RB's that can do that.

While we're all tossing around names, I might as well bring up Nick Perry. Obviously not an elite prospect but may end up the best pass-rusher from the class

He looks like a knockoff Terrell Suggs sometimes, doesn't he? Yeah throw him on there. It's rare to say a USC prospect is underhyped, but that's probably a good thing.

Once we get the Wonderlich scores back we can do a sort on the scores below 10 to find out whom the "special" players are.

Kendall Wright is good I agree ...but not more explosive or a better WR than Blackmon. Not close. I'm a OU Sooner fan I seen them both for a few years now and Blackmon is hands down better than Wright.

Melvin Ingram is freakishly athletic. Not sure if he'll be "special" til he hits the professional fields...

Trent's absolutely elite.

I'm going to label "special" as players I'm very confident will become top 3-5 players in their primes at their respective positions: Trent Richardson, Andrew Luck, David DeCastro.
