He made some good movies too. I think he could play guard.

yea, silent bob would fit in great with our O-line's media policy. . . .

A Kansas OT and the Texas TE also declared...but I don't think they matter.

Ray Rice will skip his senior year to enter the NFL draft after becoming the leading rusher in Rutgers history and transforming the Scarlet Knights into a Top 25 team.

"I have always dreamed of playing in the NFL, and I felt the time is right to pursue the opportunity to play at the next level," he said in a statement Tuesday.

Florida State linebacker Geno Hayes and Tennessee linebacker Jerod Mayo have both declared for the 2008 Draft.

Erin Henderson was given a 3rd round grade from the NFL draft advisory.

Move DJ to Will, draft Phillips, Mayo and Bell/Goff. Go DL the rest of the way and OL in FA...team is fixed!

Still waiting on Tyson Jackson and Rey Maualuga to declare. ...............That would change the top 10..................Jackson, I would think would go somehwere towards the end of the 1st round but Maualuga would be top 10 easy. If we were to draft him, put DJ back to Will like SA27 said. Draft a DT in the 2nd round. Silva in the 4th. ...............I have a few other ideas, but Coach might be watching. It's about a certain Runningback.

I've seen him anywhere from #6 to #24.

I don't think his play vs. LSU helped him however.

I really like Ray Rice. He's such a good inside runner. And he makes a lot of first tacklers miss. I just don't see how we can afford to draft him unless we get rich with free agents.

Rice is alot like Jonathan Stewart (without the breakaway speed).

I have a gut feeling Jonathan Stewart stays in school. He's a Christian (what does that mean? Education, first; money, second?); he's having fun in the college environment; he might have a Heisman Trophy on his mind.

Yes, if Maualuga comes out, he moves to #1 on my want list.

The linebacker depth in this draft it so exceptional, Denver could wait past the first-round to get a great prospect at the position. When you have over 12 linebackers who deserved to be drafted in the first two rounds, the priority can lessen and we could wait until our second round pick to get them. I just don't see us drafting a LB that high with so much depth.

True. And there is a lot less depth at safety. If Phillips is on the board, he'd be very tempting.
