    Next seasons draft could be one of the worst ever if most of the top juniors come out.

    Because he more talent pushes better talent to our 32nd pick.

    McFadden should be on that list too, even though he hasn't officially declared I think it is a given he will go to the NFL.

    I just saw one the ESPN bottom line that Davone Bess (WR, Hawaii) is declaring for the draft. I hope he has some awesome workouts, because I love this guy. He can turn any play into a TD it seems.

    update

    Anthony Collins and Aquib Talib of Kansas are both expected to announce their intentions to enter the draft on Monday

    Hawaii WR Ryan Grice-Mullen is also reportedly going pro, but I need some confirmation on that one same with NC State S DaJuan Morgan

    Hey Chambers,

    Did Ingram the TE from FL say he was coming out or is that list just potential leavings?

    Assuming you didn't screw up him and Davone Bess, Hawaii is gonna be in for big time transition next year.

    Taj Smith?? I love him, but his division I production was not exactly up there... he could be a decent pro, we'll see

    Definitely got the athletic ability

    Malcom Kelly, WR, Oklahoma

    No wonder manningham didn't come out.
    Now I am convinced there will be a quality reciever available between rds 2 and 3 that should be worth looking at.

    I like all 4 of the guys I put up there, plus Doucet, Sweed, and DJ hall (but later than doucet or sweed).

    Manningham might not be as good as Kelly or Hardy, but he's better than Bess and Thomas IMO

    Agreed, but that is still a lot of competition for Mario to go up against.

    with Martellus Bennett entering the draft, IMO our pick at 32 is a no brainer if he's available. Someone that athletic, at 6'6 is a must. He becomes the top TE in the class. Bennett has the potential to become the best TE in the NFL.

    Pat Sims DT Auburn
    Jerod Mayo LB Tennessee
    Ray Rice RB Rutgers
    Jermichael Finley TE Texas
    Brandon Flowers CB VT

    I love seeing all these players at need positions for us. Only the RBs dont really help us but the TE DT CB LB could all help us. With a week left for early entrants to declare and the National Title game players itching I say open the flood gates full blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Michigan, LSU, and Ohio State could all suffer.

    Michigan-Terrence Taylor and Adrian Arrington are leaning towards the NFL. Despite Manningham saying he wouldn't leave, most expect him to bolt. Tim Jamison is also considering leaving

    LSU-Many feel Herman Johnson,Tyson Jackson, and Morlon Favorite are all gonna test the waters.

    OSU-Rumors are Little Animal,Malcolm Jenkins,Vernon Gholston, and Josh Boone are all gonna declare.

    Brandon Flowers, if he's somehow available at 32, is someone we should definitely look at.

    expect a lot more Juniors to declare, more than normal.


    I must say, there's gonna be a lot of talent that falls that shouldn't. A lot of these guys are gonna be great pros, there are a couple who probably should not have entered, but this went from a fairly weak draft to a stacked draft at some positions

    Per Rich Rodriguez he thinks that Manningham and Arrington are going to enter the draft and Ryan Mallett is going to trasfer. THis all comes from what he said today on Rome is Burning.
