19. Derek Pegues, Mississippi State, DB
Pegues came to Starkville with a huge rep as a coverman, and he really backed it up with game-changing plays throughout 2007 as a safety/returnman.

99. Jessie Bowman, Mississippi State, DT Lost in the shadow of Jerrell Powe, Bowman went the JC route before proving to be one of the SEC's better DTs in 2007.

1. <font color="#000000">Darren McFadden</font>, Arkansas, RB
Pegged as one of the top 50 players in the class,

I thought Houston Nutt said Darren McFadden was a 2 star out of high school???

I think McFadden was one of those guys that was a 2-star because he'd not yet been evaluated. You know the ones that Gene's crew and Chuck's gaggle spend hours sweating because "I've seen him play and if he's a two-star running back, so is Bo Jackson". So while the ranking services weren't putting him in the top ten RB's at the beginning of his senior year, by signing day he was a national top ten running back.

In other words, it's a way for the Right Reverend to twist words around specifically for his point of view, showcasing his ability to evaluate talent and decrying the efforts of Rivals.
