Based on what!? A couple games 2 years ago where he threw for 300+ yards?

Maybe trading him is premature, but you gotta remember that the Eagles have seen Kolb in action FAR more than we have.

[h1]Andrew Luck tops Kiper's Big Board[/h1][h3]After a season spent on the bench, A.J. Green is back to prove he belongs in the Top 5[/h3]

Two of the top three players on my Big Board will be under the spotlight for very different reasons this week. QB Andrew Luck faces what likely will be Stanford's toughest test of the season at Oregon. A win and a good performance there not only would supplement Luck's draft status but also could thrust his name into the Heisman discussion.

For A.J. Green, it's a different story. Georgia has missed him terribly during its 1-3 start, and while pegging that record to the absence of a wide receiver seems like a stretch, Green is the kind of offensive talent who changes completely the way a team will prepare for Georgia's offense. He's that dynamic. And he's also Colorado's problem this week, his first on the field this season.

Other storylines: A Notre Dame star drops off, a UCLA defender flies up, and Arkansas' lanky QB takes a slight dip. As always, underclassmen are denoted with an asterisk.

1.jpg

Andrew Luck *

QB

6-4

235

24.gif


Analysis: Great arm, NFL smarts, solid footwork. Prototypical size and intangibles. Checks down with a veteran's savvy. Mostly solid in the ND win. Last week: No. 1

2.jpg

Robert Quinn *

DE

6-4

267

153.gif


Analysis: A freakish athlete. He's still developing consistency and is young for his class. Eligibility issues remain; stock still high. Last week: No. 2

3.jpg

A.J. Green *

WR

6-4

207

61.gif


Analysis: The profile of a No. 1 receiver at NFL level. Great size-speed combination; instinctive, great hands. Finally hits the field vs. Colorado this week. Last week: No. 3

4.jpg

Jake Locker

QB

6-3

226

264.gif


Analysis: Has all the physical tools -- size, arm, even speed and improving footwork. Accuracy and consistent decision-making remains a question. Last week: No. 1

5.jpg

Prince Amukamara

CB

6-1

200

158.gif


Analysis: A big corner with a ton of talent. Amukamara has the necessary speed and leads a deep CB class. Competition about to pick up. Last week: No. 5

6.jpg

Patrick Peterson *

CB

6-1

211

99.gif


Analysis: Safety size with fluidity of a top corner. Maybe the top size-speed combo in this entire class. Also showing top-end return skills. Last week: No. 7

7.jpg

Adrian Clayborn

DE

6-3

282

2294.gif


Analysis: Very complete defensive end. Solid pass-rusher, steady against run. Very high-energy; batters linemen. Projects at 4-3 DE. Last week: No. 8

8.jpg

Marcell Dareus *

DE

6-3

303

333.gif


Analysis: Has the versatility and explosiveness to be a 3-4 DE or DT in 4-3. He's ready to emerge, surrounded with talent. Back now, adds to a talented defense. Last week: No. 9

9.jpg

Mark Ingram *

RB

5-10

212

333.gif


Analysis: Blue-collar runner, explosive after contact. Pro-style workhorse back. Lacks top-end speed, but productive. Back to 100 percent after injury. Last week: No. 12

10.jpg

Ryan Kerrigan

DE

6-4

259

2509.gif


Analysis: Disruptive, relentless pass-rusher with decent power versus the run. Great motor, reminds of Chris Long. Steady after flying up Board. Last week: No. 13

11.jpg

Akeem Ayers *

OLB

6-4

252

26.gif


Analysis: Budding star, a physical specimen with ideal size. Ready to break out. Cover skills trump improving pass-rushing skills. Dominant in UCLA's big win vs. Texas. Last week. No. 18

12.jpg

Allen Bailey

DE

6-4

288

2390.gif


Analysis: Still learning end position; building on flashes of brilliance in 2009. Bailey could project as a 3-4 or 4-3 DE. Another test at Pitt. Last week: No. 11

13.jpg

Ryan Mallett*

QB

6-7

238

8.gif


Analysis: Has an incredible arm but developing footwork and accuracy. Must learn to check down more, use underneath routes. Decision-making key. Last week: No. 6

14.jpg

Da'Quon Bowers *

DE

6-4

282

228.gif


Analysis: Great athlete, now putting it all together. Great takeoff, wingspan, solid against run or pass. Top 10 potential. Last week: No. 19

15.jpg

Anthony Castonzo

OT

6-7

302

103.gif


Analysis: Pro-style tackle with athleticism to deal with varied styles of rush. Smart player (up for a Rhodes Scholarship) who could add bulk. Struggled last week. Last week: No. 10

16.jpg

Cameron Heyward

DE

6-6

287

194.gif


Analysis: He's more dominant versus the run than the pass; continues to improve consistency. Gains points for versatility along the line. Last week: No. 15

17.jpg

Ras-I Dowling

CB

6-2

200

258.gif


Analysis: Experienced, smooth CB with fluid hips. Remains just behind Peterson and Amukamara among corners in this class. Last week: No. 14

18.jpg

Julio Jones *

WR

6-4

211

333.gif


Analysis: Great physical tools and a fantastic blocker. Some questions about hands and consistency, but his only limit is concentration. Last week: No. 17

19.jpg

Nate Solder

OT

6-9

310

38.gif


Analysis: A physical specimen, Solder weighs more than 300 pounds with virtually no body fat. Got off to a spotty start this season, but better recently. Last week: No. 21

20.jpg

Daniel Thomas

RB

6-2

228

2306.gif


Analysis: Current growth could have him emerge as top RB in class. Highly productive with great size, quickness. Unstoppable, so far. Last week: 20

21.jpg

Jon Baldwin *

WR

6-5

225

221.gif


Analysis: Height, physical strength and ball skills are there; so is sub-4.5 speed. Goes up for the ball. Productivity hasn't been there this year. Last week: No. 16

22.jpg

Bruce Carter

OLB

6-3

230

153.gif


Analysis: Smart, reliable outside linebacker in a 4-3 defense. Could add size but uses speed to cover entire field. Must learn to shed blocks better. Last week: No. 23

23.jpg

Rahim Moore *

S

6-1

196

26.gif


Analysis: A ball hawk who led the nation in interceptions last season and moves well from sideline to sideline. Must prove physical versus blocks. Last week: No. 24

24.jpg

Ryan Broyles *

WR

5-11

183

201.gif


Analysis: Very good hands, elusive in open field after catch, productive, and has return skills -- regardless of who's throwing the ball. Last week: NR

25.jpg

Marvin Austin

DT

6-3

305

153.gif


Analysis: Flashes dominance but must gain consistency. He's an ideal 4-3 penetrating tackle, but his production isn't up to the level of his talent. Last week: No. 25
