It seems to me that NFL teams are no longer taking RB's as high as they once did, unless you are the 2nd coming of Earl Campbell. Adrian Peterson and Mcfadden went high because of their elite speed and overall game, but years ago, they would have been the unquestioned 1st choice. I think WRs are beginning to be that way as well. So, as it stands right now, which may change after the combine, unless Crabtree has a change of heart and comes back, I don't see a WR going in the top 10.

Oklahoma's big overweight OL kind of got mistreated by Florida's quick DL, last night in the BCS Bowl. At least in the passing game.

Which one?

Loadholt and Robinson will both be Guards in the NFL. They have feet like bricks, and I don't mean "Brick's" (D'Brickashaw Ferguson).

Chris Johnson, Johnathon Steward, Richard Medenhall, Felix Jones, Matt Forte, Ray Rice: 6 in the top 50

Knowshon Moreno is probably most like Chris Johnson in that he won't be a 3-Down back, but a very good complimentary back for a 1-2 punch. That's why I put him in the 20's.
