Vince Mullins: Who are your top three players, regardless of position and why?

Ack: My top three players in this draft regardless of position are in this order:

   1. Glenn Dorsey DT, LSU (right, Icon SMI).
   2. Chris Long DE, Virginia.
   3. Jake Long OT, Michigan.

All three of these players have Hall of Fame potential. Dorsey can be the next Warren Sapp because he is so quick off the ball and extremely strong.

Chris Long has an unbelievable motor and a high football IQ. He could be in the line of a Lawrence Taylor type.

Jake Long is as big and gifted of an offensive lineman to come down the pipe since Tony Bosselli with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

VM: What college star is not getting enough respect ahead of this draft? Is there a workout wonder that is overrated?

Ack: I don’t think Kevin Smith the running back out of UCF is getting enough respect. He looks to be a third rounder right now and this guy has first round talent. He was over-worked at UCF, but made the right call coming out and possesses a Marcus Allen style of running.

I think Jerrod Mayo the linebacker out of Tennessee is getting way too much hype for his workouts. Inside linebacker is always a thin position but he seems to be benefiting from Ole Miss starting LB Patrick Willis big rookie year with the Niners. I think people are reaching in the first round on Mayo.

VM: Our site focuses on the skill position players - what "big uglies" on the offensive line should we know?

Ack: The offensive line class is led by Jake Long out of Michigan, then after that you must be a true college football fan to know the other guys. Tackles worth nothing are Ryan Clady out of Boise State and Jeff Otah out of Pittsburgh. Otah played for former NFL coach Dave Wannstedt which should help his stock. Sam Baker out of USC is another offensive tackle that could be a nice pick for teams late in the first round or early in the second round.

Guards and Center won’t go in round one but look for Mike Pollak out Arizona State to be taken in the second round, he played for ex-NFL coach Dennis Erickson and his pro style system in Tempe.

VM: Everyone loves talking QBs - your views on Matt Ryan specifically, does he have more than intangibles? What about the others?

Ack: I don’t think this is a great quarterback class for 2008. I like Matt Ryan out of Boston College he is solid, but not an “elite” quarterback . I think he is a reach for where he will be drafted. He played for NFL coach Jeff Jagodinski and this should help his chances, plus NFL teams have to draft quarterbacks but he may not end up the best pro.

I think Chad Henne will be a steal outside the first round for some team. Henne’s career at Michigan included some injury problems, but he can play. I saw him in person at the Capital One Bowl and he has the size and arm strength to be a starter in the NFL. Keep an eye on Josh Johnson out of San Diego. Former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh recruited him and while he played at a small school he has tremendous upside.

My top five impact quarterbacks in the draft are;

   1. Chad Henne, Michigan 
   2. Matt Ryan, Boston College
   3. Brian Brohm, Louisville  
   4. Josh Johnson, San Diego and
   5. Joe Flacco, Delaware.
