NFL Draft 2003
The following is a list of the Top 10 Prospects at each position by the way I believe they will be selected in the up coming Draft...(not the way that I have them rated).  This list  could change between now and the Draft due to Pro Day Workouts etc.  If these Ratings change it will be posted as an "update"on our main Website page. Note - The Prospects Ht's, Wt's etc are their actual measurements from the NFL Combine, dnp-means the prospect did not participate but their Pro Day Measurements will be added on this page as soon as they work out.

Halfbacks

Although the Halfback Position lacks a "sure-fire" impact player because of the Willis McGahee injury, there are still quite a few decent prospects and a few Sleepers that could be Drafted in the Middle Rounds that could surprise.
