Early Look at 2007 NFL Draft

To say that Gil Brandt knows football is an understatement. Brandt, the Senior Analyst at NFL.com was vice president of pro player development for the Dallas Cowboys from 1960 to 1989.

He was guiding the personnel department during the heyday of coach Tom Landry when the Cowboys became known as 'America's Team.'

During Brandt's tenure, Dallas won 13 division titles, appeared in five Super Bowls and captured two victories in Super Bowls VI and XII. In 1966, the Cowboys began an NFL-record streak of 20 consecutive winning seasons. That streak included 18 years in the playoffs. Not bad at all.

Brandt is still scouting players for NFL.com and he recently wrote a terrific article that looks ahead to the 2007 NFL Draft and the top four-year players available. Talent evaluation is in his blood and he provides a pretty thorough list of names to look for next year.

If you haven't looked at it yet, I urge you to read it for yourself right here.
