I'm no Mel Kiper, Jr. - I don't have the hair to pull it off. Like Kiper, though, I am obsessed with the NFL Draft. I can spend endless hours dissecting 21-year-old guys in every possible way. It doesn't matter that I won't pay any attention to many of them once they become pros. For these few months they are on display in a meat market, and I am a butcher looking for the best cuts.

With that in mind, here is my list of the top 63 NFL Draft prospects (enough to fill the first two rounds thanks to New England's Spygate-related loss of their first round choice). I don't pretend to be an expert, but then I don't believe that a lot of the experts are very expert either. Basically, I've taken several of the available rankings, combined them, and colored them with my personal biases. On draft day, the first round is the only one everyone will watch, so you have to be in my first round to get a comment from me. It's a cruel world. Here goes:

1. Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas. I still don't completely love him, but you can't disrespect a guy who has it all on the line at the Combine and comes through with a massive performance.

2. Chris Long, DE, Virginia. He's done everything asked of him, and is the favorite for the top pick.

3. Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU. This guy looks like he might drop further than he deserves. That's ridiculous. I don't buy the concerns about an old injury, and the guy is so scary I get nervous watching him from my living room.

4. Jake Long, OT, Michigan. A perfect Combine. I'd have him a spot or two higher if he were a guaranteed left tackle, but he is more likely to live on the right, and that hurts his value a bit.

5. Sedrick Ellis, T, USC. He's a run-stuffing demon who always seems to be in the middle of things.

6. Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State. The Buckeyes had a potent defense, and Gholston was a huge part of the reason.

7. Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College. I like Ryan, but I am not convinced that he is a franchise player. If he proves me wrong I will own up to it.

8. Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon. A physical freak with huge upside. Someone is going to pick him quite a bit lower than eighth, and they will feel pretty good about themselves.

9. Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State. This is a good year for the o-line, and Clady looks as good as anyone not named Long.

10. Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma. I think that Kelly is the top all-round receiver in the draft, but his draft position likely won't reflect that.

11. Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida. The cornerback class is solid, but no one has stuck out from the crowd. I like Jenkins' athleticism, so I will put him first.

12. Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy. I see little to differentiate him from Jenkins, so I can't rank him much lower.

13. Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois. If this guy lands in a good situation then he would be my pick for Rookie of the Year. He is an under-appreciated talent.

14. Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas. The third of the three-headed cornerback monster in this group. He could go first, second or third of the three and it wouldn't be a surprise.

15. Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida. A beast - pure and simple. He will be a star.

16. Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan. I have absolutely no explanation for the poor showing at the Combine. Still, I have seen what the guy can do, and I know what Michigan receivers do in the pros.

17. DeSean Jackson, WR, Cal. He is lower on my board than most, but I have a problem with a fragile 169 pounder, no matter how talented he is.

18. Limas Sweed, WR, Texas. He's big, makes big plays, and was faster than expected in Indy. Potentially the top receiver chosen.

19. Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina. He had an amazing senior season. I'd be even more impressed if he hadn't been disappointing up to that point.

20. Keith Rivers, OLB, USC. The top linebacker in a class that is short of elite prospects. That's a problem as more teams go 3-4.

21. Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson. He took over for Gaines Adams and the team didn't experience a drop off. Adams has been a very good pro.

22. Dan Connor, OLB, Penn State. A linebacker from Penn State - seems like a no-brainer. Connor has the game to live up to the reputation of his institution.

23. Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville. Little that happened on the field this year was his fault. He has his critics, but I am a fan.

24. Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt. He's an athletic, huge left tackle. That's what teams love.

25. Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh. Enthusiasm is waning a bit after a rough Combine, but the guy's potential is unreal considering he only starting playing football as a high school senior.

26. Calais Campbell, DE, Miami. This guy is absolutely massive and intimidating.

27. Kenny Phillips, S, Miami. He's slipping a bit after the Combine, but he is the top safety in the draft, and the school has turned out a safety or two over the years.

28. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State. A freakish athlete. I'm a bit concerned by the huge step up in class, but I'm seduced by what he can do.

29. Sam Baker, OT, USC. A solid prospect from a pro factory. He likely won't be All-Pro, but he can be relied upon to start.

30. Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State. An intriguing prospect in a receiver class full of questions. No one is talking about the junior, but they could be in a couple of years.

31. Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas. I am always a little skeptical about love affairs with guys who are essentially backups regardless of how good he looks. I feel better about Jones because of his kick returning, though.

32. Fred Davis, TE, USC.

33. Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College.

34. James Hardy, WR, Indiana.

35. Reggie Smith, S, Oklahoma.

36. Branden Albert, OG, Virginia.

37. Patrick Lee, CB, Auburn.

38. Carl Nicks, OT, Nebraska.

39. Chad Henne, QB, Michigan.

40. Erin Henderson, OLB, Maryland.

41. Early Doucet, WR, LSU.

42. Joe Flacco, QB, Delaware.

43. Pat Sims, DB, Auburn.

44. Ali Highsmith, OLB, LSU.

45. Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC.

46. John Carlson, TE, Notre Dame.

47. Quentin Groves, DE, Auburn.

48. Curtis Lofton, LB, Oklahoma.

49. Tracy Porter, CB, Indiana.

50. Charles Godfrey, CB, Iowa.

51. Andre Woodson, QB, Kentucky.

52. DaJuan Morgan, S, North Carolina State.

53. Phillip Wheeler, LB, Georgia Tech.

54. Chris Johnson, RB, East Carolina.

55. Lavelle Hawkins, WR, Cal.

56. Tavares Gooden, S, Miami.

57. Justin King, CB, Penn State.

58. Donnie Avery, WR, Houston.

59. Chris Ellis, DE, Virginia Tech.

60. Chilo Rachal, OG, USC.

61. Martellus Bennett, TE, Texas A&M.

62. Adarius Bowman, WR, Oklahoma State.

63. Andre Caldwell, WR, Florida.
