Top underclassmen.(Draft Watch)
The 15 best prospects among the 34 players with college eligibility remaining who declared for the draft by the January 15 deadline:
1. Ben Roethlisberger, QB, 6-51240, Miami (Ohio). Is the most physically gifted quarterback in the 2004 draft, but might not be the complete package that Eli Manning is.
2. Tommie Harris, DT, 6-3/288, Oklahoma. Is a better prospect than Dewayne Robertson, who was chosen fourth overall by the Jets last year.
3. Kellen Winslow, TE, 6-5/230, Miami. Is considered a higher-rated prospect than former teammate Jeremy Shockey. Should have a big impact quickly.
4. Sean Taylor, S, 6-3/220, Miami. By far the best defensive back prospect in the draft, and one of the best at any position.
5. Shawn Andrews, OT, 6-6/340, Arkansas. With his size and power, he should be the second offensive lineman taken, after Robert Gallery.
6. Steven Jackson, RB, 6-1/225, Oregon State. Some teams like Kevin Jones better, but one of the two will be the first back taken.
