Running back Ryan Mathews repeated his 40 times running in the mid 4.45 range but like Florida this morning, the field Mathews ran on was soggy from rain.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mathews, emerging as a surefire first-round pick, figures to be considered by Houston at No. 20 overall and New England at No. 22. We don’t see him lasting to the Chargers (No. 28).<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Clearly Ryan Mathews should be moving up everyone’s fantasy football rookie rankings. Meanwhile, watch out for a downgrade to Jonathan Dwyer (and possibly Dez Bryant, if he doesn’t work out for scouts soon).<\/div>\n

NFL Network’s Mike Mayock reported on Monday’s Path to the Draft<\/em> program that he’s “hearing nothing but third-round grades” on Georgia Tech RB Jonathan Dwyer from teams around the league.<\/div>\n
Mayock notes concerns about Dwyer’s speed (4.6), vision, and conversion coming out of Georgia Tech’s triple-option offense, in which he essentially lined up at fullback three yards off the line of scrimmage. Dwyer was a tackle-breaking machine in college, but opinions on him seem to be decidedly mixed. He appears to have fallen completely off the first-round radar.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
At this still early stage, the 2010 fantasy football rookie-only draft order is something like this:<\/div>\n
#1 Spiller<\/div>\n
#2 Best<\/div>\n
#3 Mathews<\/div>\n
#4 Dwyer<\/div>\n
#5 Ben Tate<\/div>\n
#6 Bryant<\/div>\n
