Jones is 6'3" 245ish. He's just fine. _________________

Just to throw out a darkhorse candidate:
Johnathan Hankins- If he continues to dominate in big games, he can throw his name in the conversation _________________ Murray State University Alum: Go Racers

I think Barrett Jones could be the top ranked LT after the combine and pro day workouts and might have a chance to go number 1 if he becomes the top tackle. He played really well as LT last year for the Tide.
Otherwise Mingo, Lotulelei, Jones, and Montgomery all have shots at it. |

I always ranked Hankins better based off his play, but I will admit, Star is a good looking athlete for his size. _________________ Murray State University Alum: Go Racers

I agree he is playing better but the combine and pro days affect prospect's stock so much and I think Star Lotulelei will end up being perceived to have more upside.
Look how Poe was drafted over some of the other DT prospect's last year after he blew it up at the combine. |

True, I could envision Hankins chiseling up as well which would be... ...Or if Hankins were in the same shape Lotulelei were in, it wouldn't be even close... _________________ Murray State University Alum: Go Racers

The only players with a chance at #1 right now are: Jarvis Jones, Geno Smith, both DE's from LSU and the DT from Utah. I think Jones has a pretty solid lead on them all at this point. _________________ Not removing until:

Lotulelei is destroying Khalid Holmes. Two bad snaps (first one was picked up by Barkley then stripped by Utah). The second botched snap grabbed by Lotulelei. In between the botched snaps Holmes held Lotulelei for a penalty. He is in Holmes' head. _________________

Star is playing like a #1 ovetall pick right now against USC. Big time. This might be his statement game. _________________

Star is definitely as good as advertised, he's been dominating Khaled Holmes all night. _________________
