VS 
LSU
The Tigers are a
team we felt underachieved last season but the quarterback
position was very
unsettled after an injury to Matt Mauck. Running
back Dominic
Davis is a player we were always high on and really improved his draft
stock with a solid campaign. He is the consummate third down back that
impacts the game as a return specialist. To our minds he's a better version of
former Tiger Kevin Faulk. We've reported for almost two
months LaBrandon
Toefield is considering going pro regardless of his constant injuries
that spelled him and for all the big time talent he possesses an inability to stay healthy would
push him out of the first day. Linebacker
Bradie
James is a favorite name amongst many but to our minds lacks the speed
to play either outside positions and just
does not excite us on the inside.
Texas
Once again the OU
Sooners spelled doom for UT, ruining any chance for a run at the national
title. Where will Chris Simms get drafted? To our minds not in the
top 45 unless he really builds on the momentum he started at the end of the
season. A good showing against Nick Saban's defensive schemes would help
but a terrific week of Senior Bowl practices is more important. Receiver
Roy
Williams has twice stated he is returning to Austin for his senior campaign,
which is the right choice and hopefully BJ
Johnson follows that same route. Rush
end Cory
Redding is a tough defender that should break into the top sixty
selections. Derrick
Dockery will be a top 75 choice and many are considering the run
blocking guard for right
tackle at the next level.
Defensive
tackle Marcus
Tubbs could make the jump as he is a run stuffing force in the middle that
commands double teams and would be a hot commodity on draft day. Cornerback
Rod
Babers had a very solid campaign and if he continues to show well in
the post season could move into the top 60 choices while several we spoke with
are also high on junior Nathan Vahser.
