    Center Baylor 6-3 300 40 time (projected): 5.24 Draft board overall prospect rank: #66 Draft board center rank: #1 Overall rating: 75*             3/20/10: JD Walton was the best of the best in terms of center last year making the All-American first team. The only issue is that…

  I’ll have my NFL Draft Grades up by the end of the weekend, but first I want to talk about a few trades (involving veterans), that happened on draft day. Deal for Raiders: The Raiders haven’t had a good quarterback since Rich Gannon. Jason Campbell gets a bit of…
