With postseason all-star games completed, it's a good time to revisit the site's 2011 NFL Draft overall rankings. (Note: Rankings aren't intended to predict draft placement) After the jump, find 100-51.
Spotlight on: Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State
Few players jumped higher in the rankings than Ponder, who went from 87 to 58. Ponder benefited from a good Senior Bowl week where he finally got to show he was healthy. Don't forget that heading into the 2010 season, Ponder was considered by many (including me) as a late first-round pick.
Ponder still has that ceiling because he's an excellent option for teams running a West Coast scheme. His arm is good enough and he's clearly smart. You also have to like Ponder's toughness. Despite being injured most of his senior season, he still wanted to go out and play. Some NFL team is going to love that.
