Iowa CB Josh Jackson declares for the draft.  Was a unanimous consensus AA, and a Thorpe finalist.
Sounds like C James Daniels is going to declare as well.
Jackson is a no-brainer; Daniels, ehhhhh. He's definitely NFL material, and easily the most athletic C I've seen play at Iowa, but I think he could use another year to clean up his weak spots. However, I guess there's a shallow C class this year, so strike while the iron is hot.

I've read the same regarding the OC class.  Might help keep MSU's draft streak in tact with Brian Allen.

leading Notre Dame receiver Equanimeous St. Brown declaring for the NFL draft. Little bit shocked. Thought he'd be back. Rumors are he was frustrated with QB play and passing offense. His production numbers wise took a serious nose dive with Kizer off to the NFL. Wimbush struggles throwing the football, more of a runner than passer.

Notre Dame's leading rusher RB Josh Adams also declares for the NFL draft. That one makes more sense. He had back to back 1,000+ yard rush seasons as soph and jr, and he had 100+ carries as a frosh. Not like he was going to improve his draft stock anymore putting more miles on those tires as a SR. RB's should always go after year 3 if they can and they are legitimate picks in the top 4 rounds IMO. Adams will definitely go somewhere in the top 4 rounds. I'd bet 2nd or 3rd.

Can someone explain why NFL scouts are so high on the guy who leads the entire FBS in turnovers?
Watson had 18INTs his SR year, so I guess you could explain it that way. In Darnold's defense I've seen him make some tremendous throws (and some really bad ones) also USC's OL was terrible and they had zero running game in Sept.  If (and yes its a big if) you can clean up the mistakes you should have a good QB.
He'd be best served to fall in the middle of 1st round, say the Ravens.

For me I can't understand the Josh Allen 1st round pick talk. I watched Wyoming a few times on MW after dark. That dude is not good at all. 56% passer in the MWC. He's like Jake Locker if only Jake Locker played against inferior competetion and was 2 steps slower.

Yeah, I saw Allen probably three times this year.  The only time he even looked like a draft pick was against CMU in their bowl game.

I would not spend first round money on a rb... not the way the NFL plays the game today.

I know he wasn't an all American or even all conference, but Lee declared for the draft.  I expect him to be drafted 4th or 5th round by someone who has a starter and is willing to draft a kid with a good arm, can make the throws, has played in a pro system and has time to learn.

Well this is fun....Florida's SS Marcel Harris, who was out all year with a torn achillies is going pro.  So with the usual suspects, our kicker and a guy that didn't play a snap this year are leaving, too.

49ers should absolutely pick Barkley and KEEP Hyde too. That RB duo would be straight up lethal with a QB like Garoppolo. Garoppolo is the real deal. His release is lighting quick, he is an anticipatory thrower and man is he accurate. A QB like that can make the other pieces on offense around him better.
49ers have A TON of cap space. They could get real good in a hurry if they pick the right players with their draft picks and sign the right F/A's. Draft Barkley, shore up the OL and get a TE and a WR and watch that offense go KABOOM with Garoppolo pulling the trigger and Kyle Shannahan calling the plays.
Yea they could have a Kamara-Ingram like duo. Only maybe better. Plus Barkley could play the slot and RB (I'm assuming that Hyde can pass block if needed). 49ers still probably a year or 2 away. Instead of going after a ton of FAs it might be wise to give Jimmy G say a 110-120M contract with something like an absurd 40-50M salary this year instead of 20-25+M spread out over 5-6.

Kiper released his first mock today, and I guess the Browns are dumb enough to take the Wyoming QB #1, but I don't see it.

He has Lions taking OSU DE Sam Hubbard #1.  As of now, I don't like that pick much.  IMO he was the third best end of a group that should have been MUCH better than they were.

I wouldn't like that Hubbard pick either for the Lions. I think he'd be a way better value pick in the 2nd. I think the Lions should go after Mo Hurst, Malik Jefferson, Rashaan Evans, Connor Williams, Billy Price, or Orlando Brown with the 20th pick. I like all those guys a lot better than Hubbard.
Anybody who takes Allen in the 1st round is dumb. His completion % is awful. You can only teach accuracy so much. Kiper is an idiot.

Hope not they already have him in Kizer.Browns can't keep whiffing on QB's.Ride out Kizer as he appeared to come around the last game and has a year under his belt at 21.Build up the lines hopefully the Browns new GM has a clue - keep Hue away from the draft board

Lions drafting at 20 some of those Price/Hurst won't be there IMO
