January 18, 200620 yr Ngata is right about where he should go. The guy is a complete monster who's big enough to play NT and with better pass rush skills than most DEs. He'll definitely go top 10. Ngata might go top 10, but not because he's necessarily one of the top 10 players in the draft. Some team (like the Bills) who need a DT might reach for him out of need instead of taking the best available player on the board. He's ranked 19 in Scouts, Inc.'s (albeit not the best source) top 32 players, and others have him in the 10-15 range, so taking him at 8 would be a reach unless the Bills (or another top 10 team with a DT need) have him ranked that high on their own draft board. I guess if he's on the fringe of the top 10 it's not a bad reach, but if he's barely breaking the top 20 players in the draft then taking him at 8 is definitely reaching.
