Tomorrow is one of the rare Saturdays an Aggie will reach past the maroon shirts, comb their hair instead of sliding on a 12th Man hat, and act like it is not one of the biggest football days of the year. Yes it is NFL draft day. In the past three years we have only had one player taken on the first day (T-Murph to the Packers in the second round). Look for that streak to continue.
Depending on what board you look at, we have between
two and
five players in the draft:
- Justin Warren - ILB
- Melvin Bullitt - S
- Courtney Lewis - RB
- Jason Jack - DE
- L'Tydrick Riley - WR
ESPN grades each player. Warren, Bullitt, Lewis and Jack got 30s and Riley got a 20. To give you some perspective, Calvin Johnson's grade is 99. 303 players for 109 different schools received grades higher than 30 (only 255 players get drafted). Some guy from Wingate (the self proclaimed "premier small private university in North Carolina") got a 52.
Any score between 21-49 indicates the player "does not have the full package in terms of NFL talent" but may be a "diamond in the rough." 20 indicates the player is good enough to get a grade but may be picked up in the pre-season.
I wounder if this will hurt our recruiting. Any guesses on the number of decommits we get next week?
