Draft News gathering

Former Sooners safety Nic Harris recently spoke with Ed Thompson about his conversion to linebacker at the Senior Bowl. Harris is a big name, but the amount of attention paid to him this week was surprising. He could be the the next Cato June?

UConn defensive end Cody Brown is doing a Draft Journal with the Hartford Courant. This week he talks about the Senior Bowl. Brown is one of the better unknown prospects, and he could be a very good 3-4 OLB.

College Football News did a great review of the recruiting Class of 2005. The more interesting section is the Busts. I remember how much I loved Jason Gwaltney, Duece Brown, Jamario O'Neal, etc.

Donovan Aird talks about how Cal Poly's Ramses Barden is proving the draft process to be silly. Aird has a point, but after the Senior Bowl everyone knows who Barden is.

Wednesday Afternoon News

- Ole Miss DT Peria Jerry has been making a name for himself at the Senior Bowl practices. Neither of the South's centers, Antoine Caldwell or Eric Wood, could control Jerry in the "pit" drill.

- Another defensive tackle making himself a lot of money this week is Boston College's BJ Raji. Raji missed a year due to academic problems, but he's had a solid season and a great week thus far. At 6'1 and 330lbs, Raji fits the mold as a nose tackle.

- Little known Lawrence Sidburry (DE-Richmond) has continued his hot streak this week after a good showing in the East-West Shrine Game. He is a player to watch as the week progresses.

- Michael Oher hasn't disappointed this week. We were initially shocked he decided to play this week, but it was a smart decision. He's in the running for the #1 overall pick.

- Don't forget the name Nathan Brown. The quarterback from Central Arkansas might not be that tall, but he can swing the ball all over the field. His arm has been the most impressive so far this week.
