Oher forgoes final season for NFL Draft

I am curious if he is a graduate of OSU?

Actually I think he might be or at least a fan...his email address is something like gobucs#@aol. Seems like quite a number of those acorns being selected in the 1st. Some with good reason but i think he could be stretching a few.

I totally agree with you, why come into a saturated market when you can finish up school, enjoy life & make millions more :money: the only thing he needs to do is make a phone call to Loyds of London :phone:

Loyds only insures career ending injuries. They don't insure if you were a top 20 pick this yaer & decided to go back to college & blew out a knee & was drafted in 4th rd. in 09. The difference in money is millions.

While I don't agree with a lot of what Matt McGuire has to say...at least he's giving some early props to our man Mike Oher...

Doing a 2009 Mock Drraft at this point is like taking a shot in the dark.

I guess it's entertaining to see some top prospects that are possibilities for next year's draft. Moreno, Myron Rolle, and Percy Harvin will all be juniors. That's just from glancing at it.

Your right, but for elite talent...you've got a good idea. Just wanted to point out to some people on this MB that while Oher was a mid to late 1st rounder this year by many counts...is a very early favorite next year (and as #1 overall). sure it's 2009 mock..

Same goes for a year ago when Darren McFadden was #1 overall in Mock drafts....is it really that far fetched? You don't know what teams are going to have these high picks but...still...

A mock draft the day before the draft is a shot a in the dark.:specnatz:

That's assuming there was a 100% chance that he'd be signed by the Texans. Who's to say he wouldn't be drafted before us, or even if he was available at our spot- would Kubiak/Gibbs/Smith take him?? (I'd sure hope so) but you never know if they're wanting to take their chances on a guy in the 3rd and go the Secondary route in the 1st.

If drafted before 18 even more $ for him. I did not know he was rich now. For some players I think it wise to stay in college to build your rep. As he was a top 20 pick in first round and at a high paying position, I would have advised him to come out and start his pro career with NFL coaches getting their hands on him.

Was there not a recent situation where a QB decided to remain another year in college and then dropped in this last draft? You just don't know.
