2010 NFL Draft: Fullback Rankings

1. Garrett Graham, Wisconsin - Graham plays tight end for Wisconsin and was the teams leading receiver in 2008 with 40 catches for 540 yards and 5 touchdowns. The reason that the NFL looks at him as more of a fullback or H-back is because he is just right around 6-2 245 pounds and is a dominate inline blocker, but is a good overall athlete that you want to get on the field, he reminds me a lot of Frank Wycheck, who the Titans would move around a lot to create match up problems.

2. Rashawn Jackson, Virginia - Jackson has is not only a good lead blocker but he also brings some running skills to the table. He can catch the football out of the backfield, and has good size at 243 pounds. He is a good overall athlete and does an excellent job on special teams that that is something that NFL teams look for in a full back.

3. John Conner, Kentucky - Kentucky has used Conner in both the running game and the passing game and just isn’t a lead blocker. He has good size at almost 240 pounds and does a good job blocking at the point of attack. He could improve on his hands to be a more effective overall player.

4. Jack Corcoran, Rutgers - Corcoran isn’t much of runner for a fullback, but he has shown the ability to be a receiver and last season caught 19 passes for 176 yards and 2 touchdowns. He is a good overall athlete and understand leverage as he was the was the New Jersey state champion wrestler in the 215-pound weight class. Because of his wrestling background it making him a very good blocker in short yardage and goal-line situations.

5. Matt Clapp, Oklahoma - Clapp is a good overall athlete with good size at 6-2 245 pounds and last season was used as a receiver around the goal line and had 9 catches for 92 yards and 3 touchdowns. Does a good job as a run blocker and could be used more in the passing game if Oklahoma didn’t have some many other weapons.
