BBD: Saturday's Bama-LSU Game-Draft Implications

[DraftBoy]

I have learned that Bills scouts are expected to be at this huge game (along with every other team) and because of that I have written a prospect preview piece detailing all 26 of the main prospects in this game. I will warn you this is a little lengthy at just over 3,500 words.

On Saturday the National Championship game will take place. We don’t care what anybody says about the game not technically being for two more months. This game will not only completely alter the national college football landscape it will also have a massive effect on the NFL Draft in April. There are 26 prospects that you need to know about and we have them for you.

So let's say the Bills are picking somewhere in the second half of the first round. What are the chances right now of landing Upshaw? Is he more of a top 10 prospect?

It's safe to say Buffalo is likely to draft some player from that game, but then most NFL teams will.

Seems like a rah-rah PR puff piece. After reading it, I was left with the impression that NFL teams should draft the entire two teams, then turn their eyes elsewhere.

i'm no expert, but i think LSU's entire secondary cound be gone in the first round this year.... and the bills need help @ corner

Good shot he won't got in the Top 15 for now, could change after this game and testing though. Needs to do better shedding blocks.

Interesting impression, thanks for the feedback.

On Clairborner is a 1st Round for this year (if he comes out). Taylor is a mid-late round S and Mathieu is only a Soph.

Musing over the article... and the players...CIN probably will have an interest at RB and guard. Possibly CB - Hall's decent (and lately has been pulling up at the wrong time resulting in 3 really big gains that knocked their defensive rankings down) but there's always been the thought floating about that his best spot is FS. I tend to agree.

Yeah it took them a decade to finally fiqure that out. You seen what the past decade of Big-10 drafts did to this team.
Now we got the Southern boys in charge and they know where you go to find players.
