When you say juniors, do you mean guys with one year of eligibility left, or guys entering their junior year?
If it's the latter, Drew declaring doesn't surprsie me; I would've thought he'd go last year if not for age limitations. |

Someone posted this link to an underclassman tracker in another thread.
http://www.draftshowcase.com/UnderclassmanTracker.htm The one that surprises me most so far is probably Greg Lee out of Pitt and it makes me wonder if Tyler Palko won't go, too. I'm not saying he's ready for the pros. I just can't imagine he wants to suffer through what might be a worse season than last year without Greg Lee. |

I just noticed that Brian Leonard has announced he'll be back at Rutgers. That's great news for them.

I don't think his situation is much different than Clarrett's. He's always been a trouble maker, showed flashes of talent, but also showed he's a brittle as a 75 year old Floridian. The only reason he lasted as long as he did is because Lou Holtz doesn't care what his players do.

Maroney will be the Offensive rookie of teh year next season. bank on it.
The kid is a rock with racing legs on it...I watched a number of minnesota games this season, he is utterly amazing. On a better overall team he'd have given Bush a tight run for heisman. |

Pope from UGA has declared, but Moses is still on the fence. He'll probably go. I'm just glad Tony Taylor is coming back.

I'd love to see Pope in Bengals Orange and black. He'd be a monster over the middle with palmer dumping it off to him when needed.

WVU saw three of the bets college TEs that I have ever seen this year. Pope of Georgia, King of VT, and Davis of Maryland. Pope has ridiculous size--he is like 6'8. King has great hands and seems to get open really well. But, Davis is going to be a monster in the NFL, I think.

Hold out and then injury. He was already learning a new position, so it put him under the eight-ball. He'll have a good year next season. He's a hard worker. I'm just proud of Odell. He had a suspect past, and it is good to see him putting it behind him and doing well. |

I love the Bengals contingent on this board.. I also think that pick number.. 20-something.. Wherever they end up.. 32?
![]() Someone to take the O-line off Odell, a TE that can change games, and depth in the secondary would all be perfect. Specifically at safety. I have faith that Marvin will grab another 4-5 excellent players and continue to build a team that is already becoming a serious challenger. Here's to the end of 15 years of disappointment, eh guys? ![]()

Sorry, I won't bank on it. I like Maroney and hell, you might be right. Maybe he is as good as Bush. But Bush is going to get the publicity. If the two post nealy identical numbers, Bush would win it. Besides, we have to see where each go before we can make any kind of prediction. Say Maroney slips because of a bad 40 time or something and goes to the Chiefs? Do you still think he wins rookie of the year? Have to see exactly what situation he's in before I'd make a prediction like that. |

Yes, that is big, especially since he might need to shoulder a bigger load early in the year while we work through the QB situation. |

OG Rob Smith of Tennessee will declare. No word yet on T Arron Sears. Rob's leaving because Fulmer fired his OL coach. I didn't see our problems being the OL's fault, anyway. We had a hard time staying healthy on the OL. We dropped the football and fumbled the football.
Speaking of, rumor has it FB "Can't Catch" Corey Anderson is leaving school early as well. You may remember his drops in games such as Florida, Georgia, and Vanderbilt. You may remember the game costing fumble against Alabama. Please, Corey, do me a favor, and leave. I'd rather have Holbert at FB anyway.

Omar Jacobs the QB from Bowling Green just announced he is going pro. Anybody have any idea where he would rank among the QBs in this class?

He's definitely in a group with Cutler, Leinart, and Young (if he comes out). I would guess he'd be the third/fourth qb picked. I saw him play twice, and was incredibly impressed with him. I think he'll be a good pro. |

Dola to answer my own question - in this article it says he got a 4th round grade but thinks his stock will go up after the combine.

He may still be. His pedigree isn't much different from Leftwich and Roethlisberger. I don't think he'll make it past the second round. |

Antonio Cromartie from FSU is going pro, despite missing the entire season. Either grades or having two kids by different momma's is influencing his decision, from what I read.
Ernie Sims and Lorenzo Booker are requesting evaluations. If I was Booker, I'd definitely go. He can make 500k sitting some team's bench and getting 2 touches a game in the NFL as opposed to getting 10 in Tallahassee for free. The O-line injuries and Jeff Bowden pretty much ruined Leon Washington's stock this year. Sims is a tossup. |

Reports say that Laron Landry of LSU and H.B. Blades of Pitt will come out early. A guy I'm keeping my eye is Michael Bush of Louisville. I'm kind of surprised he is even thinking about staying.

I haven't heard any rumors of Wisconsin boys leaving early. About the only real candidates are Joe Thomas and maybe Brian Calhoun. Calhoun I don't think is considered much of a pro prospect.

Scout.com said there's about a 60% chance Calhoun will go. Apparently Joe Thomas is coming back, but he is about to undergo an MRI and possibly tore his ACL at the end of the bowl game playing defense. I didn't realize he played both ways. |

Ngata out of Oregon is going pro. He's huge. A couple guys I'm less familiar with in Donte Whitner of Ohio State and Stephen Tulloch of NC State also announced that they are leaving early.

I would love for the Steelers to get Michael Bush. He would fit into their offense perfectly, both as a big back and former QB.

Against the two best college rushing defenses he faced this year, Reggie Bush had 30 carries for 164 yards. Pretty decent, but not spectacular. He was also held to 2 yards or fewer on 13 of those 30 rushes. I agree that he has loads of potential, but he's going to have to change his running style in the NFL. DeAngelo Williams, to me, has a more ready-made game for the NFL. Not that I'd necessarily take Williams before Bush, though.

Anyone get the feeling you're watching Barry Sanders when you watch Reggie Bush...a back that will consistently get 1-2 yards running around, then hit one for 50 yards when he decides to actually hit the open hole? Especially with the line issues in Houston...
