USA Today's Top 100 players in the NFL Draft
4. Jake Long, OT, Michigan, 6-7, 315, 5.08, 1: This two-time Big Ten offensive lineman of the year is best known as a mauler who can power a running lane through the toughest defenders. He uses big hands and aggression to move people in any direction. Long does not have the speed or agility to be a consistent pass protector, so NFL scouts are projecting him as a right tackle. He is a take-charge guy who has the look of a future team captain. Long was a key in the Michigan offense, which averaged 373.5 yards a game in 2007; he registered 119 knockdowns with 18 touchdown-resulting blocks. He led Big Ten blockers with an 87.85% grade for blocking consistency based on coaching grades.
30. Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan, 6-0, 185, 4.48, 1-2: Manningham is a big-play threat with good hands who has excellent burst. He returned quickly from knee surgery in 2006 but didn't really play back to form until last season, when he caught 74 passes for 1,174 yards and a dozen TDs.
33. Chad Henne, QB, Michigan, 6-3, 228, 5.18, 1-2: Henne has excellent drop-and-throw mechanics, especially on three- and five-step drops and possesses an excellent release. Henne set school records with 828 completions on 1,387 pass attempts for 9,715 yards and 87 touchdowns. His senior season was marred by a series of leg, ankle and shoulder injuries, but he was still selected as first team All-Big Ten.
84. Mike Hart RB Michigan 5-09 195 4.57 3
91. Jamar Adams SS Michigan 6-2 209 4.52 3

Erik Cambell former Michigan WR coach likes his new gig at Iowa. This seems to be big news in Iowa.

where is adrian arrington going to go?
arrington probably a mid to late 2nd day pick. call it 5th or 6th round.
i always marvel that scouts have ray rice rated so much higher than mike hart. rice might be a smidge faster, but their 40 times (pre-combine) are almost the same (rice4.53, hart 4.57). same size, similar attributes, etc. what makes people think rice would be a better back in the nfl?
