Early Departures for 2007 NFL Draft (merged)

[sandgk]

ND running back Darius Walker is going to enter the draft as well.

That is a big part of the Irish offense gone for next year, Quinn both wide-outs, one TE, now Walker.
What's the word on Tommy Z?

Surprised by Darius Walker...late 2nd at best. Maybe 3rd or 4th even IMHO. Wonder if this will affect Pitt's decision although I doubt it because Pittman would surely have gone before Walker.

What's the word on Tommy Z?

I think the starting TE Carlson will be back, as for Zibby I hear he is coming back. I hope they move Zibby to OLB.

Cripes! How many years has he been there?

I'm no N0D expert, but I think losing Walker is a HUGE blow to them. I think he was a hell of a college RB.

He might as well go now. The chances of the offense being more potent next year are decreased with Quinn and Smarzzigzagaboob gone next year.

Sooners' Peterson Still undecided on future

Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson was still undecided whether to return for his senior season or declare himself eligible for the NFL draft.

"I have spent the last few days considering my options ... The facts are that I have not hired any representation and I have not declared for the draft," Peterson said in a statement released Thursday by Oklahoma.

Caldwell to remain at Florida; Moss to enter draft

At least six juniors on Florida's national championship football team were considering entering the NFL draft. At least one will return, but another has decided to pursue a pro career.

Wide receiver Andre Caldwell, who had 577 yards receiving and five touchdowns in the regular season and a TD in the Gators' BCS National Championship Game win over Ohio State, said Friday he will return for a senior season. Later on Friday, junior defensive end Jarvis Moss said he will enter the NFL Draft.

No surprise with Moss... the NC game gave a good boost to his draft stock.

That's good news for Troy. Brohm might have gone ahead of him...who knows.

Ginn, Smith, Gonzalez, and Pittman

All going to the draft. This is depressing

All going to the draft. This is depressing

Yep, it's been discussed in all of their threads. If it's so depressing, why start a new thread to dwell on it?

 

[Secondary]

I didnt see a thread made specifically for the discussion of this

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

I thought Brohm would've been the first QB taken.

At least I think he should be.
