Does either have a stud LT?

[Eric]

They must have......they always do

Drafting a DT is always a gamble and seldom pays off. Many DT's don't hit their stride until after their first 3-5 seasons.

[Eric]

We better start now then!

Sounds like something Sims agent is going to be saying this off season. :D

Unfortunately, this draft's biggest holes are at DT and OT, our two biggest needs.

Frank Okam staying for his senior year hurts a lot... if Alan Branch stays, too, we're probably going to be better off looking for help in free agency or trying to find a hidden gem.

Florida (12-1) vs Ohio State (12-0)
Short of a real playoff, it probably doesn’t get much better than the best in the Big 10 versus the best in the SEC for the national championship. And both teams should also be well represented in the early rounds of the 2007 draft. The best draft storyline of tonight’s game, though, may involve veteran QBs Troy Smith (#10, 6-1, 215) of Ohio State and Florida’s Chris Leak (#12, 6-0, 212), who have both been terrific college QBs, but have yet to convince pro scouts that they can translate their skills to the next level. Smith, for example, ran away with this year’s Heisman Trophy, but still isn’t necessarily considered to be a top draft prospect, although he is close; same story for the Gators’ Leak, a four-year starter who doesn’t grade out all that well as a pro prospect because he lacks prototype pocket size and arm strength.

In fact, both teams probably have better pro prospects at other positions. Ohio State DT Quinn Pitcock (#90, 6-3, 295), for example, is a solid mid- to late first-round prospect for the upcoming draft, while explosive junior WR Ted Ginn (#7, 6-0, 180) could go even higher though he has had an up-and-down year to date. Indeed, Ginn was outproduced at times this fall by fellow junior WR Anthony Gonzalez (#11, 5-11, 195), although he lacks Ginns’ overall athleticism. Meanwhile, LB John Kerr (#52, 6-0, 235); DEs Jay Richardson (#99, 6-6, 275) and DE David Patterson (#97, 6-2, 285), FS Brandon Mitchell (#32, 6-3, 205); WR Roy Hall (#8, 6-2, 240); C Doug Datish (#50, 6-4, 295) and OG TJ Downing (#72, 6-4, 305) will all get some late-round consideration. As well, many of Ohio State’s better prospects though are underclassmen including juniors RB Antonio Pittman (#25, 5-10, 200) and OT Kirk Barton (#74, 6-5, 310) and sophomores like LB James Laurinaitis (#33, 6-3, 245), OT Alex Boone (#75, 6-8, 325), DE Vernon Gholston (#50, 6-4, 250), CB Malcom Jenkins (#2, 6-1, 200) and LB Marcus Freeman (#1, 6-2, 245)

Florida also has a potential top 10-15 prospect for this year’s draft in FS Reggie Nelson (#1, 6-0, 200), who should be one of the first defensive players off the borad this coming April if as expected he enters this year’s draft. Meanwhile, several other Gators including OLB Earl Everett (#30, 6-1, 235), junior MLB Brandon Siler (#40, 6-2, 235), DEs Ray McDonald (#95, 6-2, 285) and junior Jarvis Moss (#94, 6-6, 255), CB Reggie Lewis (#22, 5-9, 185) and WRs Dallas Baker (#81, 6-2, 205) and Andre Caldwell (#5, 6-0, 200), all have later first-day potential for the upcoming draft, while junior RB DeShawn Wynn (#21, 5-10, 232) had something of a breakout year after underachieving much of his career. The Gators also have one of the better punters in the country in Eric Wilbur (#0, 6-1, 205) who gets great air time. And for good measure, the Gators also have two of this year’s biggest impact freshman in college football in backup QB Ted Tebow (#15, 6-3, 230) and speedy WR Percy Harvin (#8, 5-10, 185).

Marcus Thomas got kicked off the team a long time ago.

Marcus Thomas got kicked off the team a long time ago.

So he's a FA then. Sweet! ;)

[Mecca]

Quinn Pitcock...if we draft him I'll consider it a typical Chiefs pick.

[Eric]

Could be good FA pickup.

[Mecca]

LOL the Chiefs pick up someone who got kicked off the team for drugs right....the Chiefs are all about high character these days...

Don't worry he'll get drafted.......he's probably a 3rd rounder due to the bad talent at DT this year.
