Rating the Juniors - John Murphy

[cstjohn17]

This guy is one of the best reads out there, here is his breakdown of juniors that may declare. Most of the names he has listed have filed out their paperwork to get evaluated by the NFL.

Defense

Most of the interesting players have a late first or second grade, which makes the trade back that much more appealing.

Looking at the defensive list a little closer, the LB position will be made or broken by the juniors that declare.
Laurinaitis, Maualuga, Henderson, Mayo (a little small, maybe he can bulk up), Freeman not to mention DE/OLBs like Gholston, Harvey, Brown, Merling, Moncur.

Good find. Seems like a good Jr. class if a lot of them declare. I saw NFL Draft Countdown recent mock. Has D.Connor slipping to 27. Poz went in round 2 last year. If he falls out of the first round. I wonder if we could trade up in round 2. Lots of good ol if they declare. I wouldn't write T off as a position we would look at. Maybe not in Round 1. But, if a good one slips to round 2. Maybe.
