Ryan Lownes and I took to Twitter to discuss 10 bold NFL Draft predictions. Here’s are the tweets, along with some video cutups of the prospects we discussed.
1.) The #Eagles, with a new HC, bypass OL/DL talent in the 1st Rd, instead they bring a new franchise QB into the fold. #NFLDraftPredictions

2) Fresno State’s Phillip Thomas will be the first safety off the board, and will be a top 20 pick. #NFLDraftPredictions

3.) #Missouri DT Sheldon Richardson will set the NFL Combine ablaze. Sub 4.8 40 and jaw-dropping agility in drills. #NFLDraftPredictions

4. UCLA LB Anthony Barr will return to for his SR year. SR DL Datone Jones will be taken in the top 40 picks. #NFLDraftPredictions

5.) The best RB from this class will be drafted on Day Three. Could be Dennis Johnson, Ray Graham, or Marcus Lattimore. #NFLDraftPredictions
— Ryan Lownes (@ryanlownes) December 7, 2012
6) 2 of the 3 WRs who will go in the top 25 picks of the draft will be Tavon Austin and Quinton Patton. #NFLDraftPredictions

7.) While most are talking about Te’o, Ogletree, Arthur Brown, #LSU Jr. Kevin Minter is the All-Pro ILB in the bunch. #NFLDraftPredictions
— Ryan Lownes (@ryanlownes) December 7, 2012
8. BYU’s Ezekiel Ansah will be a top 5 pick, with a shot to be the first defensive player selected. #NFLDraftPredictions
— Eric Stoner (@ECStoner) December 7, 2012
9.) Despite recording only four sacks all season, #LSU DE/OLB Barkevious Mingo will have 10+ as an NFL rookie. #NFLDraftPredictions
— Ryan Lownes (@ryanlownes) December 7, 2012
10. Zac Dysert will propel himself in front of Matt Barkley as the #3 SR quarterback after the Senior Bowl. #NFLDraftPredictions

loved your comment about Minter of LSU as an ILB prospect. As a Denver Bronco fan who should be looking at inside linebacker talent, can you give me more info. Is he a Jack del Rio king of player? thanks
Devonte Holloman is a mid-round GEM at OLB. Having played some S, he has shown good Pass coverage on TE and RB’s. Reads plays as well as Auther Brown. New England has him high on thier draft board, Middle round, for depth at OLB.
