Why LA gotta get the 2nd day picks?

Better question is why would they ever bother to switch locations like that? What a waste of time.

NFL doesn't need to cater to Mark Cuban crying, they do what they want.

  [h1]QBs dominate early watch list[/h1][h3]Luck, Locker, Mallet highlight list of offensive players to watch for '11 NFL draft[/h3]
By Todd McShay
Scouts Inc.
 

The 2010 NFL draft is just days old, but it's not too early to start thinking about the 2011 draft class. I preface this by saying a lot can and will undoubtedly change between now and next year's draft, but as of now, here are the top 10 offensive players to watch.

* denotes underclassmen
1. QB Andrew Luck*, Stanford
(6-foot-4, 235 pounds)

Luck will only be a third-year sophomore this fall but he is advanced well beyond his game experience thanks to excellent coaching from Jim Harbaugh. Luck is a big, athletic prospect with a smooth delivery and good overall accuracy. Improved decision-making under pressure as a junior could vault him to the head of what appears to be a strong 2011 quarterback crop.
2. QB Jake Locker, Washington
(6-3, 226 pounds)

Locker has prototypical NFL quarterback size, a rifle for a right arm and outstanding athleticism for the position. I believe he had a strong chance to be the Rams' pick at No. 1 overall in this year's draft after making enormous strides under first-year head coach Steve Sarkisian. Another year of improvement -- particularly with ball security -- will have Locker in contention for the top spot in 2011.

3. WR A.J. Green*, Georgia
(6-4, 207 pounds)

Green is a big, fluid target with long arms, big hands and outstanding hand-eye coordination. He needs to return to form after missing three games with a sprained AC joint in 2009. More consistent play from the quarterback position at Georgia this season would help to maximize his draft status.

4. OT Gabe Carimi, Wisconsin
(6-8, 313 pounds)

Carimi is a massive left tackle prospect with 36 career starts under his belt. He shows good natural mobility for his frame, but Carimi must continue to improve his lower-body strength and hand usage in order to solidify a spot in Round 1.

5. QB Ryan Mallett, Arkansas
(6-7, 238 pounds)

There are not many quarterbacks who stand 6-7 in the NFL, so Mallett needs to prove he's capable of becoming the exception to the rule. His deceptive mobility should help. More importantly, Mallett displays elite arm strength and a silky smooth delivery. While his accuracy as a passer can be streaky, there is room for improvement if he can refine his mechanics.
6. RB Mark Ingram, Alabama
(5-10, 212 pounds)

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner lacks elite burst in the open field, but top-end speed is overrated at the running back position in the NFL. Few backs at the college level possess Ingram's combination of vision, patience and lateral quickness. Plus, Ingram runs with great pad level and almost always falls forward at the end of runs.
7. WR Julio Jones*, Alabama
(6-4, 211 pounds)

Jones battled an ankle injury early in the 2010 season but came on strong down the stretch. He lacks elite top-end speed but he is a physical, savvy route-runner with strong hands.

8. RB Ryan Williams*, Virginia Tech
(5-10, 211 pounds)

The sample size of game tape is limited with Williams but it doesn't take long to recognize his special talents -- particularly his lateral agility and center of gravity as a runner. The third-year sophomore could emerge as a legitimate first-round prospect if he builds on last year's momentum and erases any doubt regarding his ball security.

9. WR Jonathan Baldwin*, Pittsburgh
(6-5, 225 pounds)

Baldwin is a towering wideout who excels at using his body to shield defenders and he's a vastly underrated athlete for his size. Baldwin needs polishing as a route-runner and needs to answer questions regarding his top-end speed in order to lock down a spot in next year's first round.

10. OG/OC Mike Pouncey, Florida
(6-5, 320 pounds)

Brother of Pittsburgh first-round pick Maurkice Pouncey, Mike is expected to move from guard to center as a senior in 2010. He's not quite as athletic as his twin brother, but he shows good strength at the point of attack and plays with a similar mean streak.

   [h1]Kiper's top 5s: Returning players[/h1][h3]Think of this list as an early guide to the 2011 NFL draft[/h3]
By Mel Kiper Jr.
ESPN Insider
 

The focus now is on the 2010 NFL draft. This list, however, is made up of players who are not in the pool for this year's draft, but could have been had they opted to jump. You can think of it as an early road map for the 2011 NFL draft. Obviously, some of the top sophomores in the nation also will be in this mix next season.

Things will change greatly in the summer and fall, of course, but Ryan Mallett (even with the foot injury), DeAndre McDaniel, Marvin Austin and Terrance Toliver will be names to know and watch for.

This is the list to start studying the day after the draft.

Analysis: This is now Locker's position to own for the next season. Locker, Mallett and Keenum should be on radar screens next fall for the 2011 draft, with Locker -- as I've said before -- a legit possibility to go No. 1 overall.

Analysis: Based on where he's ranked here, you'd suspect Devine might be a high pick in 2011, but I have a hard time seeing him as a first-round guy. I suggested he jump this year because he'll have a hard time increasing his stock. That said, he gets this ranking until others step up as prospects. I suspect they will.
