Thanks for the list, Mo. Just goes to show what an inexact science that recruiting is.

No problem. Wish we could talk about more things like this more often.

Here's last years top 10 draft picks:

Just for fun, and to see how accurate/inaccurate the recruiting ratings are, I went back and checked the senior-year evaluations of the top-10 players selected Saturday.
I looked at where each player was rated within his position group by scout.com, how many stars he received and which schools offered scholarships (often the most telling aspect of the recruiting process).
And without giving too much away, let me just say: If you needed more proof that recruiting is an inexact science, this list provides it.
Only four of the top-10 picks were five-star prospects, while four weren?t even deemed worthy of being rated at their position.
And be sure to check the list of scholarship offers (as reported by scout): Plenty of college coaches blew it with these guys, including Texas? Mack Brown with a certain receiver who grew up nearby.

1. Detroit: QB Matthew Stafford
College: Georgia
Rating: No. 2 QB ? 5 stars
Offers: Michigan and Texas
Comment: Was ranked behind Mitch Mustain, who started at Arkansas and is now on USC?s bench, and one spot ahead of ? Tim Tebow. Also in that ?06 QB class: Jake Locker (7th), Josh Freeman (15th) and Sam Bradford (17th).
2. St. Louis: OT Jason Smith
College: Baylor
Rating: Not rated ? 2 stars
Offers: No schools listed.
Comment: That doesn?t necessarily mean Smith?s only offer was from Baylor, but it might mean that ? and it sure means that a bunch of elite programs missed out.
3. Kansas City: DE Tyson Jackson
College: LSU
Rating: No. 120 ? 2 stars
Offers: Oklahoma State
Comment: Was an offensive lineman in high school and projected to play there in college (and rated as such).
4. Seattle: OLB Aaron Curry
College: Wake Forest
Rating: Not rated ? 2 stars
Offers: East Carolina and Mississippi State
Comment: Someone on the Wake staff made a brilliant evaluation.
5. NY Jets: QB Mark Sanchez
College: USC
Rating: No. 1 ? 5 stars
Offers: Notre Dame, Ohio State and Texas
Comment: Tough for a gifted QB to fly under the radar, especially a gifted QB from Southern California.
6. Cincinnati: OT Andre Smith
College: Alabama
Rating: No. 1 ? 5 stars
Offers: Florida, LSU and USC
Comment: If Urban Meyer and Pete Carroll are after the same kid, chances are that he?s the real deal.
7. Oakland: WR Darrius Heyward-Bey
College: Maryland
Rating: No. 39 ? 3 stars
Offers: Virginia Tech, Pitt, Penn State and Boston College (plus others).
Comment: Might turn out to be the 39th best player in this draft, too.
8. Jacksonville: OT Eugene Monroe
College: Virginia
Rating: No. 1 ? 5 stars
Offers: Florida State, Miami, Ohio State and USC
Comment: Education must have really, really mattered to Monroe.
9. Green Bay: DT B.J. Raji
College: Boston College
Rating: Not rated ? 2 stars
Offers: Nobody but BC.
Comment: A Jersey kid, he visited Rutgers but didn?t get an offer.
10. San Francisco: WR Michael Crabtree
College: Texas Tech
Rating: Not rated ? 2 stars
Offers: Illinois, Iowa and Kansas
Comment: The Dallas native played QB in high school but was projected as a receiver in college. Didn?t have Texas on his short list.

Callahan Bright. Haven't heard that name in awhile. Add him to the list of dumbfucks FSU has tried to sign in the past 10 years or so...just slightly ahead of Fred Rouse...

Just proves stars and rankings aren't as effective as many schools want to believe. (8-4 USC is proof of that) Really wish Spiller would of got the invite instead of Tebow. Kid was beastly in the ACCCG while injured.

Callahan was a major dumbass up in high school as well. My nephew ran him over and he was a 5'10" fullback that weighed 220 lbs. Bright took so many plays off. He played with Andy Reid's drug dealing son.
