Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Sports Illustrated has made their first cut at this years top 50 draft picks. Carnell is 10th and Ronnie is 31st. I'm really surprised Ronnie isn't projected higher. He may turn out to be the better on in the pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,472 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I bet Ronnie gets drafted before Carnell, unless Carnell just goes nuts the last four games. I think the pros like Ronnie's size/speed/hands combo. Some teams will feel that Carnell is a tad small for their liking. Not saying I agree with them, but Ronnie is much more the prototypical NFL size back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTaxMan 0 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 SI, as usual, is behind field in terms of prognostications. Mel Kiper and Todd McShay (the real experts) each have CW and RB among the top 12 last time I checked. There is also a little by McShay on Carlos Rogers that came out today: Rogers on the right track Auburn CB Carlos Rogers has made huge strides as a senior. The biggest difference this season is his improved confidence. Rogers is being asked to hold up in mostly man-to-man coverage and has done a better job than ever anticipated. He was giving a big cushion in coverage as a junior because he feared giving up the big play. Now, he believes in his ability and is challenging receivers. Rogers has a very good combination of size (5117, 195) and speed (4.42). As it stands right now, Miami's Antrel Rolle is in a league of his own, and Michigan's Marlin Jackson is behind him as a mid-first-round prospect. Rogers has bridged the gap between him and LSU's Corey Webster, and could move into the late-first round if he continues to play at such a high level. Rogers can also help himself in his postseason workouts, if he displays the ability to return punts. Auburn running backs and special teams' coach Eddie Gran has told us that Rogers could be the best punt return specialist on the team, but he couldn't use Rogers in that role because of the team's lack of depth at cornerback.
