My guess is it's more people being vocal. The anti-Brady crowd is now more vocal, the pro-Brady camp isn't being as vocal. That's the nature of playing good or bad.

-JaMarcus Russell went from a potential top 10 pick to a "can't miss" prospect by some posters, meaning their is no way this guy could fail in the NFL at all... after a bowl game vs. a N.D. defense that I could throw two touchdowns on.

That's because last night was probably the 1st time most of these people have seen him. I don't think you went far enough. I think to many he went from "Not even in Rnd 5" to "Can't miss".
My opinion of him is I still don't think he's a 1st Rnd pick btw.

-Adrian Peterson is no better than his back-up after his first game in around 11 weeks coming off of an injury (his last game before the Fiesta bowl was October 14th). In that game: 86 total yards (averaged 4 ypc) and 2 TD's after not playing football in 11 weeks.

I think he needed to rush for 200+ yards and look unstoppable to be worthy of a #1 overall pick btw. I know he missed a lot of time. That's why I'm not high on him. He missed a ton of carries last year as well.
I actually thought he played well against Boise St, but I don't think he's that much better then Lynch or Bush. And at the NFL level I think running game success if more on the oline and scheme and playcalling then a single stud back anyways. So I wouldn't take him #1 overall unless I felt he was god in cleats.

Here is my prediction for after the National Championship game: Since I believe OSU will beat Florida, we will then have many threads about how Troy Smith should be our #1 draft pick, no matter where he is projected to go (right now: he is projected to be a late first, but this will not stop people from saying he should be the #1 pick).
|
It hasn't stopped some people already. If he was 3 inches taller he'd be the #1 pick IMO.

(if you are wondering my opinion, I still think we should take Peterson).

And I'm obviously a huge proponent of Calvin Johnson. I don't care about need when we have the #1 pick. Here's a chance to get a pro-bowl playmaker for the next 12 years. Jordan gives us time to develop another running back either with a Rnd 2 pick or next year's draft.
Sadly, I'd like my plan much better if we had drafted Leinart last year. Still I think our front office sucks (they scout defensive prospects well at least), but they'll pass on the QB and give Walter another chance in a real scheme with an improved line (personally, I can't stand Walter, but that's me).
So that's just my thought on your thoughts
