Interesting list in that SEC powers Tenn, Fla, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia and LSU have a total of 4 players between them while ND and Texas have 4 and 3 each. Might be somewhat of a down year in the SEC. Terry By Mel Kiper Jr. Special to ESPN.com Archive Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn could have been a first-round pick if he'd declared for the 2006 NFL draft. Instead, Quinn is the top player on my initial 2007 Top 25 Big Board. Notre Dame has the most players on my initial board with four, followed by three from the national champion Texas Longhorns. Overall, there were 10-12 additional seniors who received strong consideration for the top 25, an indication that the 2007 draft will provide the NFL with a lot of quality talent. Furthermore, there are a host of high-profile juniors who will have the option in mid-January of declaring for the draft. The Big Board will be updated every two weeks until the college football season kicks off on Aug. 31. From that point on, updates will occur every Wednesday. The top five seniors and juniors at each position will start to appear in early August. Remember, this is the time of year when I spend countless hours evaluating prospects from games that were played over the last two years. So even though no games are taking place, the board will change during the offseason. 1. Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame (6-4, 231) 2005: 64.9 completion pct., 3,919 passing yards, 32 TD-7 INT 2.
