What jumped out at me about these were:
1) Bradford, a 4.28 gpa in high school!
2) Suh only benched 300. He must've reallly gotten stronger, or else his comination of quickness & strength makes him seem like he's twice as strong as so many o linemen. 300 lbs. isn't that much relatively. D. Thomas' bench was listed at 365 I think.

I don't get too caught up in the rankings, but I'll give credit to the scouts. I think overall you can look at all these guys and say that they were noticed early on, all got scholarships, all will play in the nfl. Generally kids that are ranked high as prospects fare well if they don't have personal problems or injuries. There are kids that fly under the radar that become starts, but they're the exception.
