Northwestern vs Auburn, January 1st, 11:00am, ESPN
Top NFL Draft Prospects for the Outback Bowl:
1. Corey Wootton, DE, Northwestern (Pictured)
Wootton is the model of versatility, being able to play in both the 3-4 and 4-3, inside and out. He is still on the mend from a bad knee injury, so the Wildcats used him sparingly. Look for Wootton to use the Outback Bowl to jumpstart his late 2nd round draft stock.
2. Ben Tate, RB, Auburn
Tate is a downhill runner ill-suited for a spread offense. His low center and good balance will serve him well in the NFL. Tate should be seleceted in the 3rd or 4th round.

Northwestern looks unprepared for this game. Auburn has made some nice physical plays, but Northwestern seems like they ha no film on Auburn an is very tentitive.
What has Northwestern been doing, studying other school subjects or something?

He only threw 7 picks all year, so 5 today is disappointing. Still, he's a guy worth bringing into camp & seeing if he can make the squad.
Scouts have been telling Pat Fitzgerald that Kafka throws better than their #3 QB's. He could be a #3 for a year or two, then move into a #2 job.

I agree Al....I don't worry that much about the picks.
He did some of the things you like to see.
Had he thrown 5TDs it wouldn't have made him a 1st rounder, and 5 picks isn't going to squeeze him out of the draft.
