carter is not within range so its rediculous to even list him.  leaaves you with Williams, starks, and johnson.  they have met with only first round edge prospects and out of that group only Williams fits their profile.  They have met with Johnson and starks at the combine, but they don't seem overly interested in the class with only a couple other guys in later rounds.

I personally dislike Williams a lot, but the predictive data is pretty clear that if he's there at 17 it will be the pick.  personally I think Green is light years above all of these players, but the data doesn't support him at all

You legit posted this as the first criteria:

Quote:The Player must be part of a team that has gone to the playoffs or won a championship during their college career

Tennessee did, in fact, go to the playoffs, which is why I listed JPJ.

As for Carter...Sorry, I wasn't meaning Abdul Carter, I was thinking of Jalon Walker. Jalen Carter is who came into my mind, which is why I typed Carter.

I'm personally more concerned about Mike Green's off-field red flag than anyone else's.
Two separate accusations of assault, one from high school and one from when he was at Virginia, which supposedly prompted his transfer to Marshall.
It may be a case of where he doesn't consider what he did to be assault but someone else did, but with that said, I would not take the chance of that repeating itself once he would potentially have a ton of money and fame as a young, rich professional athlete.
