The NFL Draft starts tomorrow, but don't expect to hear any UK names until Saturday

The NFL Draft begins tomorrow night, but before you plan your night around it, one, don't because it's the most boring television event ever; and two, you probably won't hear any Kentucky players' names called until Saturday, which is when the fourth through seventh rounds take place. Yesterday, ESPN's Todd McShay ranked Jon Toth the fourth best center in the draft, which would be good enough to get him drafted in the fifth round. What about Boom Williams? McShay ranks him the 30th best running back in the draft, likely to go off the board in the seventh and final round. Those are the only two Cats listed in McShay's rankings. Meanwhile, McShay's colleague Mel Kiper ranks Toth the sixth best center, Boom the 21st best running back, and JoJo Kemp the 60th best running back in the draft. Here's hoping all three find a home, even if it means on a practice squad. Good luck, boys. [ESPN]
