Could have as many as 9 drafted, but more likely 7.

Offense:
Mettenberger - late 3rd to 5th
Hill - 2nd to 3rd
OBJ - early 2nd
Landry - 3rd
Turner - 6th to UFA
Boone - UFA
Blue - UFA
Wright - UFA

Defense:
Ferguson - late 2nd to 3rd
Johnson - 4th
Barrow - 6th to UFA
Loston - 5th to 6th

Loston in the fifth round would be a steal.

Mett could go as high as 2nd, I've heard.

Hill out of the 2nd round is a steal, and Loston is a 3rd round player IMO.

Blue might actually get drafted late if he impresses people, I think he could be very productive in a RB by Committee situation. That said RBs aren't hard to find so that's a stretch

I'm afraid the injury, and his lack of mobility are going to push him down some teams boards.

I wonder if Loston's speed will hurt him. I am guessing a 4.6-4.65 forty. I could be wrong though.

I loved Blue but his injury too away something.

he just doesn't have the allusiveness you need to play RB at the next level...he is too much north and south

he is a beautiful running athlete though...

I think some team moves up in the upper 2nd round and takes him. Maybe a patriot situation where your franchise qb is almost 37rs old. Very similar skill set phscially...

Loston is plenty fast. Anticipation was lacking early, but I thought he continued to improve while here

Doubtful. The injury has no effect on Mett or his stock other than the ability to show case at the senior bowl and combine. Mett is a pocket passer with a great arm who is accurate most times. He is what teams look for in a QB. The mobile QB is great, but you can't make a living running constantly at QB in the NFL and teams know this. It's how does he throw the ball first, extra mobility is just icing on the cake. Mett will be 2nd rounder with outside shot at the first if he really blows it up for pro day.

I'd say...

OBJ - Late 1st / Early 2nd
Landry - 2nd
Johnson - 2nd
Hill - 2nd / 3rd
Ferguson - 3rd
Mettenberger - 3rd
Loston - 4th
Barrow - 4th/5th
Copeland - 6th/7th

and everyone else including Turner go undrafted.

He would be a perfect fit with the Broncos. They wouldn't have to change anything and he could study behind Manning for 2-3 years.

Still scratching my head over Turner's departure.

Kiper has Blue ranked as his #20 RB and there were more than 20 drafted last year.

Don't know if his list included declared underclassmen.

Not really. He got burned many times and when the rbs hit the 3rd level he took terrible angles. He's really good when he plays in the box. Bout it. 4th-5th round is accurate. Can't imagine him running any better than a 4.5 at the combine.

A team will have to invest 3 years into Loston before he's a starter, imo.

And his size and arm strength will move him way up on some other teams boards
