WR, TE & OL

WOW. You're pretty high on Thornton. Every mock draft I've seen has him as a 6th or later and even undrafted.

I agree the guy has all the size you want and the hands to go with the job. I think he's being snubbed due to the Vols' pass friendly system. But the dude is legit.

He reminds me of Darius Slayton with more upside. Has wheels and if he can get a good QB chucking the rock to him I feel he’d really take advantage his speed.
Route tree is pretty basic right now but guy could be TO if he works at it.

Is Dart really better than Sanders ?

My opinion. Sanders really only balled out vs crap defenses and Daddy let him run up his numbers. I personally wouldn’t draft him until later in round two maybe even round 3. I put him as a fringe 1st round pick due to his physical talent.

But imo you put him and Dart next to each other and let them throw and Sanders going to get shown up
 
Luke Kandra in the 6th or 7th? Gave up no sacks last year and only 8 pressures, and for his entire collegiate career, has just two penalties. If we can pick him that late in the draft, VERY wishful thinking, that would be amazing! I don't agree with a lot of your rankings, most in fact (and it's ok). Some, like this one just blow my mind.

I personally feel his best position would be center. I know he didn’t have a lot of penalties but he gets his hands outside a little bit too often and in the NFL probably doesn’t get away with it like he does in college. He has some athleticism and could definitely develop into a good player. I also don’t value guards as much as tackles as a fringe tackle can be turned into a guard but a guard can’t be turned into a tackle. And this draft has lots of fringe tackles who might end up kicking inside.

What do you think of Savaiinaea (sp) at Guard?

I would give him an opportunity at RT but he very well could have to kick inside to guard. Dominant run blocker with a nasty demeanor. Decent feet to keep up with speed. Wide body guy. He drops his head more than I like from a tackle. But in my opinion has the length. I think whoever gets him that teams running back is going to love him.

I don't know: Have you heard him or his dad speak on football? They really think they are so super special. Very anti-Steeler. No thanks.

Have you actually watched the tape on either QB?

Dart is Minshew 2.0. Sanders plays very much like Ben.

Both are good QBs but only one of these gentlemen are a Day 1 starter...

Prime was not as special as he thought; he spent his last several years being vastly overrated. Do you remember him playing in DC? Baltimore? Not special. And he couldn't hit a curveball.

You're joking right? He was one of the pest pure shutdown corners ever. Sure he shied away from contact, but you weren't throwing his way very often if at all. And you're bringing up his days in DC and Balt? When he was 33, 37, and 38 in those three years. Not exactly prime of his career, and still had 4, 3, and 2 INT's with 9, 5, and 5 pass defensed. Trying to discredit Deion freaking Sanders as a football player is CRAZY talk...

He IS Special...So Special people hate him cause of it

BTW, I agree, he wasn't a great baseball player...As a kid I played STRAT-O-MATIC BASEBALL....When picking teams we never or rarely picked him because Sanders always played half a season or so & not much power...He could steal a base & I guess his range on defense was OK...One year he had a bunch of triples I think

He got better, but he was NOT a top tier MLB'er for sure

All that said, Deion Sanders is Special & PRIME-TIME is one of the hottest commodities & followed figures in Sports..
