Hall of Famer
Some teams are going to get steals as good White Linemen can be had in Rounds 3 to 7. Also, because of the "agenda" -- some White Linemen will go lower than they should.
So, I'm setting up my board but not necessarily ranking them:
Up 1st is G/T Adam Kraus (6-6 295) Michigan
(Time Machine)

I think Whites sometimes lose points for not being "battle-tested" (i.e. may not have played against many super-affletic 'bruthas'). You know, "how good are the Whites in Whiter areas when they haven't played against 'the real' Football PLAYERS...
Well, as the link above shows, he wasn't penalized as he played his high school ball in Louisiana. He was ranked the 10th best at the OT spot by the above link.
I know the "rankings" are often times folly (some of it because of the racial agenda; some of it for other reasons -- like not being able to measure the hunger and passion of a player), but it can be educational to "look back."
(Note: I've followed Rivals pretty much from it's inception and it always has been pro-black to a degree, but they don't rank as many Whites high that are from Whiter areas as they previously did. Then again, a black from the same area (Omaha, for example) is much more likely to be ranked high. I'm sayin' the White "talent" has become 'rarer' for some reason. Then again, Georgia Whites have almost disappeared (Only 4 out of 50 on the Georgia State Rankings list are White). The '09 list will probably present much of the same.)
Onto the next post..
