NFL DRAFT 2007
An early look at the top high
school juniors in the nation.
1.CHRIS LEAK - QB - Charlotte Independence
(NC)
C.J. Leak's younger brother has
been re-writing the North Carolina record books and he's still got two
years to go. A little on the short side at 6'0-6'1 but he's a quality athlete
and can really air out the ball. An excellent prospect.
2.LIONEL RICHENS - DT - Bloomfield
(CT)
He is huge! At 6'3, 345 lbs, Richens
is a dominator. He's the best player on one of the country's best teams.
He could be a star at offensive or defensive tackle but it looks like defense
is where he'll end up in college.
3.JAMARCUS RUSSELL - QB - Williamson
(AL)
When you're looking for someone
to compare him too, take your pick: Donovan McNabb, Aaron Brooks, Tee Martin.
He's 6'4, 200 lbs and can beat you running or passing. He rivals Leak for
athleticism.
4.DEMETRIUS SUMMERS - RB - Lexington
(SC)
Summers was a star as a sophomore
and expect more of the same as a Junior and Senior. At 6'1, 195, he has
the size to run inside but also has the breakaway speed to beat you outside.
Lou Holtz would love to get his hands on this talent.
5.SHAWN CRABLE - DE - Massilion
Washington
A superb athlete who is also an
excellent Power Forward, Crable is the defensive force that complements
Justin Zwick on offense for Massilion. He can play LB or DE but DE may
be the best spot for him if he adds more weight to that 6'6 frame.
6.LeBRON JAMES - WR - Akron St.Vincent
(OH)
He's one of the nation's best
basketball players but LeBron James could be a star on the football field
as well. At 6'6, he has great size and of course, he has great leaping
ability. Look for him to improve on his 42 rec and 14 TDs from last year.
7.MARCUS WOODS - RB - Farmington
Hills Harrison (MI)
He's been on varsity since he
was a freshman and that's saying a lot considering Harrison is a state
powerhouse. Woods has great speed and quickness through the hole and is
equally adept at running inside or out.
8.H.B. BLADES - LB - Plantation
(FL)
Add another name to the Blades
family list of stars (Brian, Bennie and Al). The next Blades Brother may
be the best athlete of them all. At 6'1, 200 Lbs, he runs a 4.6 forty and
can bench press 325 Lbs.
9.DAMON JENKINS - DB - Concord
De La Salle (CA)
De La Salle is a football factory
and Jenkins looks like the next one. He has great size (6'3) for a defensive
back and he's been making plays since he was a sophomore. He has potential
stardom written all over him.
10.TYRONE MOSS - RB - Pompanp Beach
Ely (FL)
Moss led Ely to the state title
game as a sophomore. He had some huge rushing performances along the way
too. He's not huge (5'11, 190) but runs tough and isn't a true burner (4.5)
but has the right amount of burst.
11.DERRICK WASHINGTON - OT - Dallas
Carter (TX)
12.XAVIER ADIBI - DE - Hampton
Phoebus (VA)
13.DAREUS HILEY - DB - Cleveland
Glenville (OH)
14.MICHAEL OKWO - LB - Manhattan
Beach Mira Costa (CA)
15.LaRUE RUMPH - DB - Clearwater
Central Catholic (FL)
16.LENDALE WHITE - RB - Denver
South (CO)
17.DORIAN BRYANT - WR - Paterson
Don Brosco (NJ)
18.KENYA BUFORD - OT - Murfreesboro
Riverdale (TN)
19.PRESCOTT BURGESS - DB - Warren
Harding (OH)
20.JEROME JACKSON - RB - Saginaw
(MI)
21.PAUL SMITH - QB - Owasso
(OK)
22.COREY McKEON - DB - Naperville

Male (KY)

(CT)
28.TIM CASTILLE - WR - Birmingham
Briarwood Christian (AL)
29.SEAN BRADSHAW - RB - Panama
City Rutherford (FL)
30.ARLINGTON HIGHSMITH - LB -
Miami Central (FL)
