Charles Scott is no more than a short yardage/goal line back in the NFL. He has average vision and limited cutting ability. I would say he's an average blocker at best and average receiver out of the backfield. Getting drafted in the 4th or 5th round is nothing to be ashamed at either. This guy will play in the NFL, but to think he will be a starter or featured back is outlandish.

LaFell is not explosive enough to get drafted in the 1st round, which is the type of WR teams are looking for in that premier round. Now getting drafted in the 2nd to 4th round is still good for him. It's not where you get drafted, but what you do on the field.

Toliver isn't leaving this year anyway, so why are they discussing his draft status. This kid has so much more development ahead of him. Plus, he needs to pack on 15 lbs of more muscle on that 6'5" 200lb frame so he can become more physical. If he's leaving here 6'5" and 215-220lbs, teams will be drooling to draft the kid. Can you imagine how many more tackles he could break and all the yac. This is where Julio Jones has a distinct advantage over Toliver. Strength goes a long way at the next level.

As far as another player, I am very excited about Deangelo Peterson's future in the P&G. The speed and athleticism he brings to the position is unmatched at TE for LSU. I would like to see more 6'4" WRs recruited and converted to TEs.

you do realize some TEs run 4.45 and some sub 4.4, right?
