If Banks goes in the first round next year...

[chew1095]

27% of our total first round draft picks all timewould have come under Mullen.</p>

McPhee, White and now Cox have already been drafted. Banks and Boys are going to be next.

Barring something unforeseen, Gabe Jackson will be drafted. Same goes for Nickoe.

Lawrence won't be drafted and I doubt he makes a team as a FA, but he will have left State as an All-SEC LB.

Russell will probably break several passing records, which isn't necessarily saying much, before he leaves.

Bumphis will probably rank in the top 10 in several receiving categories, which again isn't saying very much.

Skinner and Slay have a chance to make an NFL roster or even be drafted. Skinner has looked really good this spring, and Slay is a great athlete. With a big senior season, I could see him being a late round pick.

Hell, before he was injured there was a fair amount of chatter that Leon Berry would bea late round pick or make a team as a free agent.

his teammates laud him as a great "reader" of defenses. He probably will score very high on a lot of the NFL testing, he may surprise you.

 

[studentdawg87]

He is a great college player, but there is no way he could hold up against the run in the NFL. There aren't many, if any, 225lb LBs in the NFL. And I'm not positive he really weighs that much.

I agree. I don't think Lawrence makes it. His only hope is a Steve Gleason type of role on special teams. Cam is too small to play linebacker, and not quite athletic enough to play safety.

There are 6 linebackers on their roster between 226-236. I dont think 225 is a limiting factor. I also checked the Ravens website they list 2 linebackers at or under 225: Ayanbedejo is 225 and Chavis Williams is 220.

There'sa lot of decent guysthat areeasy to forget about - Heath Hutchins was a great punter in 2010 and a huge part of our success. Chris Smith may not be NFL material but he's a solid WR. Sanders, Heavens, and Perkins are all better than most of the offensive players we signed during the Croom years (I'm pretty sure they all committed late in the process so I don't consider them to be Croom's recruits).

Definitely one of our best classes ever. Too bad it was preceded by one of our worst. 2008 was terrible... maybe even worse than 2004.
