Underclassmen declaring

The Browns Board

  • Ball State QB Nate Davis (Bellaire, Ohio) is entering the draft. Hope he does well in the pros, he's a local kid that played high school ball about 15 minutes south of where I live.

  • I'm interested to see whether Davis's learning disability causes him to slide on draft day. IIRC, Davis admitted that he struggled absorbing Ball State's playbook because of his LD. That, along with his height (6'1"), could push him down to mid-Day Two.

    Here's a report about another QB prospect considering turning pro:

    USC quarterback Sanchez 'torn' on pending decision

    By Scott Wolf

    USC quarterback Mark Sanchez has not announced a decision on his future, but several sources said Tuesday he has expressed a desire to skip his senior season and go pro as Thursday's deadline to declare for the NFL draft neared.

    "I think he's really torn," safety Taylor Mays said of Sanchez. "He's gone back and forth. I told him regardless of what he does, he's a friend and I support him."

    Sanchez is believed to be leaning toward going pro because Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford might return for his junior season.

  • LeSean McCoy's turning pro, making this RB class even deeper.

  • Eric Norwood is coming back for his senior season

  • Yeah, I'm not happy about that.

    Some more news (from rotoworld😞

    ESPNews reports that Sam Bradford is expected to announce at 5:30ET that he will return to Oklahoma for his redshirt junior year.

    We'll find out in a half hour. There was a report prior to the Sooners' BCS title loss that Bradford would leave school "barring a knee injury."

  • Alo, this coincides with what ESPN was saying about Sanchez about to declare.

    Sanchez would be stupid to stay at this point; now he's sure to be the #2 QB off the board, at worst.

  • Oklahoma TE Jermaine Gresham is staying in school, too. Guess we'll have to see OU get worked by UF again next year. 🙂

  • Wow. Gresham likely was a top 15 pick. In my (tentative) mock, I had him going to the Bills at 11.

  • Chris Mortensen is reporting Mark Sanchez is gone.

    Was there a more underrated QB on the planet last season? He's gonna make a great pick for somebody.

    Tebow is under rated. Many say he won't play the position.

    I think he will prove them wrong.

  • With Tebow and Bradford staying in school probably sweetened the choice for Sanchez to go pro.

  • Don't know if this has been mentioned but Ohio Sate WR Brian Hartline is turning pro.

  • With Tebow and Bradford staying in school probably sweetened the choice for Sanchez to go pro.

    That is what I was thinking....now this puts him 2nd QB selected behind Stafford and he won't have to deal with the Lions.

  • From TFY:

    Percy Harvin/WR/Florida

    Source this evening has told us that Percy Harvin will soon announce he is entering the draft. Harvin has filed his paperwork and officially notified the school he is leaving. This comes on the heels of speculation the past few days that Harvin was hedging on making the jump to the NFL and considered returning to Florida after quarterback Tim Tebow made his decision to return.

    watch him be the next Elway

  • Perhaps we'll have switched back to a 4-3 by next year. 😉

  • 😆

    Probably the last big report: Clemson RB C.J. Spiller is staying in school.

    It may have already been mentioned in another thread, but OSU DB Donald Washington declared for the draft. He's projected to be a 4th Round pick.

    In better Buckeye news, Kurt Coleman is sticking around for another year.

    He's grown in such leaps and bounds as a QB over the past few years, he'd be absolutey a great chance to take in the mid-rounds as a QB. By the time he's done with another year at Florida, and sits the bench for a couple of years on some NFL team, who knows the progress he will have made. He's got the will and desire to learn. That slight chance that he'll overcome his deficiencies and become what he is to the Gators to an NFL team will make some team take a chance on him.
