Pete Fiutak's Top 32 Pro Prospects for 2009
From FoxSports.com:
4. Rey Maualuga, LB USC
The Skinny: In a strange way, Maualuga might have been the top linebacker taken in the 2008 draft, but he might have been the least ready of all the top prospects. He can move, hit and, well, he can really, really hit. He's a top inside defender to potentially build a defense around.
12. Brian Cushing, LB USC
The Skinny: Injuries kept him from having a huge 2007, but with his all-around game and his potential to be effective in any scheme at any outside position, he's a lock to be a top 30 pick. He won't have the "wow" factor of Maualuga or Laurinaitis, but the NFL scouts will love him.
13. Taylor Mays, S USC (Jr.)
The Skinny: At 6-4 and 225 pounds, Mays hits like a linebacker and is as fast as any Trojan. He's been a playmaker from Day 1, especially against the run, and now he has to show he can do a bit more when the ball is in the air to solidify a spot in the top 20.
The #1 player on the list really makes it hard for me to take this ranking seriously. I can see Mark Sanchez in the top 32 by the end of the year. Yup, I'm still high on Mark.
