Ignore at your own risk, these NFL Network and .com scouts talk to GM's and their contacts in the scouting community all the time. They don't operate in a vacuum.
IMO, this provides us with an excellent starting point going into the combine followed by pro days and team workouts. Of course, every team won't have the exact same rankings depending on which type of offensive and defensive system they use.

Fluker seems to be a player that is hated on more by us on the internet then the scouts and the guys who are in the media.

Sheldon Richardson getting some high praise.

The interior OL is interesting as Warmack and Cooper are 1-2 on every list then 3-6 is always different.

I hope Bucky Brooks made his lists based on conversations with GMs and scouts because I'm still not convinced he has any special draft acumen when it comes to evaluating prospects.

No real surprises.

Leveon Bell 3rd runningback? I don't see anything special about him. I think he should be behind all the other guys listed.

240lbs and can move, catch, and block like that, is special.

There are far too many truly unqualified draft opinions floating around the internet to be fussing over Bucky Brooks' qualifications.

Every year it seems there is a college LT that everyone spouts about his deficiencies and the need to move him to RT or OG. Looks like Fluker might be that guy this year.

I remember the lazy assumption last year was that Cordy Glenn just wasn't built for NFL LT. Yet went through his lumps at the pre combine stuff as a LT.

Lo and behold despite the internet draft consensus, Glenn is a starting NFL LT as rookie. Granted we need a Bills fans to let us know is he is a NFL starting caliber LT.

Glenn moves a lot better than Fluker though. I was never surprised that he stayed there

It was plain to see at the Senior Bowl that not only could Cordy Glenn play pretty well at left tackle, he absolutely could NOT play guard. He was terrible there.
