I wasn't comparing him to Hester as a great return man, just as a one-dimensional type NFLer.

alex mack can be a 1st round pick next year? i know there's talk about him moving to tackle (and it was experimented with last spring) but as a center would he really be a 1st round pick? i was under the impression that centers don't normally go round 1.

Vernon Gholston in, Malcolm Jenkins and Brain Robiskie staying at OSU. Laruinaitis and Freeman to decide over the weekend.

Gholston is a legit top 10 pick, and I think Jenkins probably was a top 20 pick but he'll now enter next season as the unquestioned top CB in CFB.

Adrian Arrington declared. LOL! This guy is the epitome of "character issues"--throws a pregnant woman out of a moving car while driving drunk, gets into three reported fights with teammates (one with Jake Long, no less, further showing he has awful judgment!), and decides he doesn't want to learn a new offense, so he goes pro. I pity his agent.

bad decision by jenkins....he was slated to be the first CB to come off the board, maybe he wants another shot at a BCS championship.

good for him. Hes the 2nd best running back behind McFadden in this draft. I actually wouldn't be surprised if he ended up better than McFadden in the pros.

Pat White should be declaring soon.

Mr. Stewart says otherwise.

Curious that Pat White wants to declare.

A.J., I agree to a point. Jones may have had an outside shot at becoming the Nation's Top Running Back and a top-five pick as a result. He'll probably still sneak into the first round, but he'll now have to live with that decision.

Xavier Lee declared because he was named in the Free Shoes U. cheating scandal and wanted to show how big of a priority academics is to him.
