It's All In the Name

Forget that NFL prospect's time in the 40, or the number of reps the guy can benchpress. There's an easier way to gauge NFL talent than to worry about verticle leaping ability and Wonderlic scores. In today's marketing happy NFL, it's all about what's on the outside that counts. Starting with the letters on the back of the guy's jersey. So we decided to help some of those clueless GM's out there by ranking the top 10 NAMES in this weekend's NFL draft. If an NFL GM needs a reason to pick someone, it may as well be becasue they have a cool name. Our picks, from top to bottom:

Rank	Player	Pos / School	Comments
1	D'Brickashaw Ferguson	OT, Virginia	An O-lineman with the word "brick" is his name. Priceless.
2	A.J. Hawk	LB, Ohio State	That name was made to play linebacker in the NFL
3	Lafaele (Vaka) Manupuna	DT, Colorado	Just thinking of John Madden trying to pronounce that name makes it a top pick
4	Kamerion Wimbley	DE/LB, Florida State	Sounds like a stealth wind
5	Haloti Ngata	DT, Oregon	Holy Gawd what just hit me?
6	Santonio Holmes	WR, Ohio State	Think of the nickname possibilities...Holmes
7	DeMeco Ryans	LB, Alabama	Da me going to bust you upside the head.
8	Kader Drame	DT, Syracuse	The Raiders should draft this guy just because of his name
9	Mathias Kiwanuka	DE, Boston College	Ugandan for "I'm going to tear you in half Mr. QB"
10	Kili Lefotu	OG, Arizona	Sounds like "kill you"

And for the least desirable:

Rank	Player	Pos / School	Comments
