1. Chris "Beanie" Wells (Ohio State) Has near perfect size and strength, with great vision and a solid burst. Breaks a ton of tackles and runs hard, but doesn't have elite speed or quickness. Not a very good receiver, and has durability concerns. 2. Knowshon Moreno (Georgia) Very productive runner who has great agility and vision. Can create holes for himself, as well as break tackles. Doesn't have great timed speed and has minor durability concerns. 3. Donald Brown (UConn) Had a sensational senior season ...Read More

1. Louis Delmas (Western Michigan) Very productive and a hard worker. A solid wrap-up tackler, who also is known for delivering some big hits. Isn't a ball hawk, but finds himself around the ball enough to make plays. Isn't a freak athlete and lacks great timed speed. Doesn't always take the proper angles, and can miss tackles due to over-anticipation. Did not face elite competition, either. 2. William Moore (Missouri) Has good hands and ball skills, as well as above-average athleticism. Is a ...Read More

1. Alex Mack (California) Good athlete with solid quickness and agility. Has the size and bulk scouts look for. Extremely physical and aggresive off the line, and possesses a nasty killer instinct. Has average balance, which can result in him spending a lot of time on the ground. Can be dominated easily be bigger defenders. 2. Max Unger (Oregon) Very versatile and cerebral lineman. Has terrific awareness, balance, and understanding of the game. Has a full knowledge of positioning and angles. Isn't a ...Read More

Go Back to Round 1 Round 2 33. Detroit Lions - James Laurinaits, ILB, Ohio State After getting their franchise quarterback and tackle, it's time to beef up their defense. Laurinaits brings the athleticism, intangibles, and leadership they thought they were getting when they drafted Tedy Lehman years ago. Previous: Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois 34. New England Patriots (From Kansas City) - Louis Delmas, S, Western Michigan It's time for New England to find a quality replacement for Rodney Harrison. Delmas is the best safety ...Read More

There’s no Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long, Sedrick Ellis, or Vernon Gholston to get wild about in the 2009 NFL Draft, at least at this point. All of those guys were in contention to be the #1 pick in the 2008 draft, and all four were off the board in the first seven picks. What this year’s draft class may lack in headliners, it makes up for in terms of plenty of depth throughout the defensive positions, and a ...Read More

Some love him, some hate him, some envy him, but you can’t argue with the fact that Urban Meyer is one heck of a program builder. Florida was crowned BCS national champion last night with their 24-14 victory over Oklahoma, and as expected, the Gators finished #1 in the AP poll today, getting 48 first-place votes to top the poll. But, he’s got to feel pretty good about the fact that his old school is right below him ...Read More

There’s a trio of bowl games on tap for today, and the offenses stand to take the lion’s share of the headlines. First up is the Humanitarian Bowl this afternoon, where Nevada will look to triumph over ACC foe Maryland on WAC rival Boise State’s home field. Tonight in Houston, you’ve got two of the best signal-callers in the country facing off in the Texas Bowl. However, the headliner of today’s slate is the 31st edition of ...Read More

There was a small chance that the BCS could’ve went a little nutty and spit out an Oklahoma-Texas rematch for the national championship, but after the coaches’ poll revealed Oklahoma and Florida to be 1-2, there was little surprise as to who would be playing for the national title. Of course, even Urban Meyer probably couldn’t rest easy until he saw the matchup pop up on the screen, but Florida will indeed be taking on Oklahoma for the national ...Read More

I feel pretty safe in saying that the next few weeks of the college football season will go a long way towards deciding the winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy. With all due respect to the likes of Michigan State’s Javon Ringer or Missouri’s Chase Daniel, who was on many a preseason favorite list, the Heisman race looks to come down to Colt McCoy, Graham Harrell, and maybe Sam Bradford and Knowshon Moreno. On Saturday, Harrell and Texas Tech host ...Read More

The Shuffle certainly has an appropriate name this week, doesn't it? Instead of doing the usual Saturday Shuffle tonight, I thought I’d devote tonight’s shuffle to all of the shuffling and shaking up that there’ll be in the upcoming polls thanks to an upset-filled week to cap September. Every college football season, there seems to be a week where things are just downright crazy. Maybe we got that day out of the way this week, but if there ...Read More
