Although Fletcher has been really good, he's not Top 15 material yet. He would have to have a monster year for that to happen, and would probably have to stay for his senior year for him to get that high.

Ballard is a strange one. If he can rush for 1,100 yards and 15 TD's with us having another good year, I could see him in the second round. I think he's a legit NFL RB. But if we lose a couple more and don't stay in the Top 25, he could end up a later round pick.

Saulsberry is an experienced lineman, but I would see something more like 5th or 6th instead of 3rd or 4th. I read a report this year that if he had come out, he would have been ranked on one site as the 62nd guard in the draft. That's bad.

Relf would need to have a very good passing year to get drafted. He's gonna need 2,500 yards I think, and again, would benefit from us finishing in the Top 25.

Lawrence and Mitchell seem about right. If Mitchell can step up, make a few more picks this year and keep his tackles the same, he could find his way into the first half of the draft, maybe the 3rd round.

Any thoughts?

1....Relf has a chance to get drafted, but not a very good one.
2....Ballard is a good college back, but isn't 2-4 round material, maybe 5-7.
3....Saulsberry is too short for pro's unless it is at Center, late round chance.
4....Addison Lawrence may not get drafted, but will get a free agent chance.
5....Cox would have to have a breakout year to leave after his Junior year. The best Pro prospect, but still developing.
6....We know nothing about Maye at this point, other than he was very good his freshman and sophomore years, then hurt much of last year. Too early to tell.
7....Mitchell may be the first Bulldog taken next year, but probably after 3rd round.

8...Josh Boyd will eventually be drafted, but after his senior year.
9...Johnthan Banks will be drafted after his senior year.
10...Chad Bumphis will be drafted after his senior year, probably after the 4th.
11...Corey Broomfield has a chance after his senior year.
12...Arceto Clark has great hands and body control.
13...Shane McCaskill has great speed and is building his body, but still raw and sometimes timid.

In short, we have a lot of "good" talent, but not any superstars, unless Cox breaks out. We have one or two potential superstars, not close yet, as sophomores and one or two as freshmen.
