DeWayne Robertson DT 6-3 311 Kentucky JR

Does anyone know if he's coming out or not???

[TigerJ]

Everyone's assuming so. I think he's made noise to that effect, but I don't know that it's official yet. If he comes out he gets picked in the first round.

Dewayne Robertson will enter NFL Draft
HERALD-LEADER STAFF REPORT

Dewayne Robertson, a junior defensive tackle for Kentucky, will skip his senior season to enter the NFL Draft.

"I decided to declare for the draft because I feel I'm ready to make the next step," Robertson said yesterday. "I also want to make life better for my family. I feel I had a good year this year, and if that hadn't been the case, then I would have come back for my senior year."

Robertson was named to the All-SEC second team. He had 48 tackles this season, including 81/2 for losses; 13 quarterback hurries; one pass breakup; and one blocked kick.

Robertson had five sacks, the most on his team and tops among SEC defensive tackles.

thanks guys

please be available when we pick

[clumping platelets]

He's likely to be long gone by our pick in rd 2.

[TypicalBill]

isn't there a chance that he'd slip and still be available in like the 2nd or 3rd pick in the second round. If thats the case, then i think we should trade up to get him. He's definately a difference maker and what our DL needs.

I actually prefer DT Kevin Williams from Oklahmoa St

Most early mocks have Robertson in the top 15 of the 1st rd, but once the scouts get closer, who knows

[TypicalBill]

Kevin Williams is good. I saw him in a bowl game last week i think. He seemed to always play on the other side of the field. He was in the QB's face all the time and making plays in the backfield. One problem that i remember was that he didn't show up in the first half. Kinda reminds me of Ron Edwards, he doesn't bring it every snap. Other than that i'd love it if we get him.

Another underclassmen named DeWyne from the great state of Kentucky..... I wouldn't mind seeing him taken with the #2 either....

i dont know about white DOZER, i think he's a top 15 or 20 pick. It would take a miracle for him to drop to round 2. If we get him then our pass rushers would become one of the best young tendems. Although i doubt it'd happen but you never know.

well if he comes out and is taken before us that means someone else slips to us, gotta think the positive way.

I like the Kentucky QB. He goes about 300.
