Mayock's top NFL Prospects

[Mario-Rijo]

Not sure I agree with them all. Jason Smith the top OT with Andre Smith 3rd, Laurinaitis better than Maualuga, Eric Wood over Alex Mack? I think a pretty fair argument could be made for the latter 2 I stated but the former is not correct IMO. In fact the entire OT comparison is off to me. Also I think Orakpo and Maybin could end up at DE (especially Maybin) even though either could also be a 3-4 OLB.

I can't remember where I saw it, but he was pretty damn accurate last year. His rankings were right on-spot, especially when compared to Kiper.
