Today we look at Georgia QB Matthew Stafford and how NFL ready he appears to be.</p>
<p><strong>Leadership: 9<br />
</strong>Stafford likes to put his team on his shoulders, and he likes to make big plays. The problem is that his big play mentality also helps out the defense because a lot of times it fails.</p>
<p><strong>Arm Strength: 10<br />
</strong>He has a super arm. There&#8217;s not a lot of throws Stafford can&#8217;t make and that&#8217;s the reason he will likely be the #1 pick in this 1009 NFL Draft to the Lions. He likes to look down the field first and then come back through his reads to shorter throws.</p>
<p><span id="more-917"></span></p>
<p><strong>Accuracy: 9<br />
</strong>This is the one thing he needs to work on some. His accuracy isn&#8217;t bad, but it also doesn&#8217;t compare nicely to his arm strength. When people discuss Stafford they talk about his strength and not his precision.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness: 8<br />
</strong>Stafford is going to be like most rookie quarterbacks, meaning he is going to make mistakes when he misreads defenses. In college he had a few lapses but he still didn&#8217;t turn the ball over excessively.</p>
<p><strong>NFL Readiness: 10</strong><br />
First of all no NFL QB is ever going to be 100% ready but based off of his physical tools, skill set, and athletic ability I think Stafford is as ready as any college QB making the leap to the pros can be. He has a lot of work to do but he will work hard and will try to make it at the next level.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 46<br />
</strong>Stafford is a guy I&#8217;ve been watching for a couple of years. He&#8217;s been my pick as the top NFL ready quarterback for that entire period. I expect him to make it in the league, although a lot will depend on which team he goes to.</p>

<p>Everyone knew he would be.</p>
<p>By all means he was an offensive lineman, yes an offensive lineman, that won Alabama&#8217;s Mr. Football honor coming out of high school. Did I say he was an offensive line?</p>
<p>If you want to know how good Smith is, well that&#8217;s how good. And he was that good the entire time he was at Alabama. He started every game he wasn&#8217;t injured or suspended for (Utah).</p>
<p><span id="more-901"></span></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s break him down:</p>
<p><strong>Run Blocking: 10<br />
</strong>No doubt that this was always Smith&#8217;s strong suit at Alabama. When he was missing against Utah the Crimson Tide&#8217;s strength, their offensive line and uncontrollable running game, was stuffed.</p>
<p><strong>Pass Blocking: 8<br />
</strong>Smith&#8217;s one weakness might be pass blocking. He struggles with his footwork against speed rushers.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness: 10<br />
</strong>It&#8217;s not easy to judge the &#8216;awareness&#8217; of an offensive lineman, but since Smith usually does pick up every blocker in his way I&#8217;d say he&#8217;s seeing the field just fine.</p>
<p><strong>Overall Size: 10<br />
</strong>Smith is an overpowering figure that probably scared the heck out of opposing defensive lineman over this three seasons at Alabama. I expect him to have the same affect on a lot of the defensive lineman he will face in the NFL after he gets a few years of experience behind him.</p>
<p><strong>NFL Readiness: 10</strong><br />
If you&#8217;ve ever seen footwork of Smith then you know he&#8217;s an obvious top ten pick and it&#8217;s even arguable that he&#8217;s the most NFL ready prospect in this draft class.</p>
<p><strong>Overall: 48<br />
</strong>Smith&#8217;s name is going to be called very early in April and he&#8217;s earned it. He should have a very successful NFL career.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-493" title="crabtree200x200" src="http://nflmocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/crabtree200x200-150x150.gif" alt="crabtree200x200" width="150" height="150" />I&#8217;ve been saying since the end of his freshman season that Michael Crabtree is a can&#8217;t miss NFL prospect. He was redshirted his first season, which is what allowed him to become NFL Draft eligible. He took advantage and decided to leave Texas Tech early.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t blame him.</p>
<p>This guy can be the next Larry Fitzgerald. He isn&#8217;t as physically overpowering as Fitzgerald but he is a playmaker. He would automatically upgrade any offense. Graham Harrell&#8217;s disastrous performance at the Senior Bowl only makes Crabtree look better.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s break him down:<span id="more-866"></span></p>
<p><strong>Hands: 10<br />
</strong>Crabtree can catch anything. He has great hands and he will go up and catch anything with them.</p>
<p><strong>Vertical Leap: 9<br />
</strong>Crabtree doesn&#8217;t have the leaping ability of Oklahoma State&#8217;s Dez Bryant but he does have a nice sized leap. He can go up and catch passes and he&#8217;s not afraid to do it in traffic. Those things usually equal a great receiver.</p>
<p><strong>Speed: 8<br />
</strong>His speed isn&#8217;t lightning quick but he&#8217;s very strong and athletic, allowing him to break tackles without &#8220;breakaway speed&#8221;. I expect his quickness to translate well into the NFL.</p>
<p><strong>Awareness: 10<br />
</strong>If Graham Harrell was in trouble Crabtree always came back to him and allowed him to have a security blanket. Crabtree always knows where the ball is and he&#8217;s always trying to block down the field on run plays.</p>
<p><strong>NFL Readiness: 10<br />
</strong>I think he&#8217;s the most NFL ready playmaker in this draft. He will upgrade any offense automatically. I have a feeling a lot of GMs are going to try to trade up to get in position to take him.</p>
<p><strong>Total: 47<br />
</strong>He&#8217;s ready to play right now, just draft him and stick him into your lineup NFL GMs.</p>
