I don't think we have many who are draft eligible this season.

The Bad/Marginal:

BUT as much as I give him hell Brett Kendrick (OL) grades out well on PFF even so he's a low pick at best. I also think Jashon Robertson is a potential pick (OL). Even though he's playing center this year he's a RG or G all the way. He's also a low pick at best (likely a FA). If they aren't drafted they'll be snatched up quickly as FAs and likely make rosters.

Best shots:

Our best option though was J. Jennings but that's likely been derailed by his injury. Same could be said for DKjr. Evan Berry's return skills are good enough to get him in the later rounds plus being Eric's lil bro does help his chances.

Other thoughts:
I mean John Kelly could easily be drafted given his season but I have an unfounded gut feeling that he'll return. That may be because he's gotten so little PR whereas in the SEC alone Guice, Sony and Chubb have swallowed the headlines and Ralph Webb is hardly chump change. Also, all those backs minus Guice (who I fully expect to go pro) are seniors.

And unless you're off the charts with tons of exposure (see Guice, the NFL has tended to reward Sr's as of late). With RBs it may well be them showing that they aren't too injury prone and fan consistently reward Sr's over Jr's. That could happen with Kelly but just have the feeling he sticks.

Many of these are good to decent college players but I'm not sure about their NFL potential. Also, our DEs have yet to have a chance to get after the QB due to the offenses we've played so their stock could rise. McKenzie and Tuttle could go but they'd be fools to do so.

tl;dr - I'm sure I've missed some. However, we're freshman, sophomore and Jr heavy. I just don't see a good draft.
