[The King]

Man BC is going to suck this year.

[DraftBoy]

Man BC is going to suck this year.

Yea I think they will struggle a good bit

[mysticsoto]

I guess I better get acquainted with the Centers for next year, b'cse we didn't grab one in the draft and there are no signs we are getting one in UDFA up to now...which means next year, it'll be a pretty high pick to grab one (2-3rd rd pick)...barring other injuries and losses.

Fowler will be 30 and is the weakest link of that group...

[Confused]

it never ends.......

[eyedog]

Are redshirt sophmores eligible for the draft after this season ?

If so, Carlos Dunlap, d-end, Florida

[B-DON]

DraftBoy, check out a running back that plays for the university of North Dakota. His name is ryan chappel i believe. I think he can be a real sleeper in a year or two.

Yes they are eligible the two most notable are Sam Bradford (QB-Oklahoma), and Micheal Crabtree (WR-Texas Tech)

5'11, 193lbs Junior out of DII North Dakota?

He's a 2010 prospect likely but he has great stats so far;

As a freshman he ran for 1283 yards on 191 carries and had 15 TDs. That's a 6.6 ypc and 129.3 ypg.

Last year he only ran for 1696 yards on 235 carries, and 14 TDs. Thats a 7.0 YPC, and 136.7 ypg. Finishing 3rd in the nation in rushing yards to our own Xavier Oman.

[yordad]

Well, in order to narrow down the focus, or get a starting point, I'm looking at lineman. I think that is where the attention will go. Entire D-line and best available throughout offensive line.

I think that a fair assessment, Im currently working on a much more comprehensive list of 2009 prospects.
