The CheckerBoard

I'd really hope CP would stay if he was projected to go 2nd Rd. Next year it would be CP and Marquis Lee at the top.

Thanks Watauga. I think Patterson could sneak into the 1st round if he closes the year anywhere near his performance in the Troy game and he should smoke the combine. I think all three are gone in any case.

Hush your mouth!

If they continue to put up numbers and show case their potential, which they will against Missouri, Vandy, and Kentucky, I don't believe their draft status will dip. Just think what Patterson and a healthy Hunter, after working with a trainer, will probably do at the combine. I don't think Bray is going to disappoint at the combine either. I suspect they are all gone, but still alot more football to play. We'll see.

A new coach and system coudl change him, it will have to in the NFL, you can't say w/ a new coach he wouldn't change. It might not, but I think it would

That's a valid possibility.

Agree. He wants out of the 'College Experience' so he is not as accountable for his behavior. Problem for him is much of his behavior neutralizes his ability to lead and he will discover in the Pro's that they don't like it either.

This is why I don't think he'll go in the first or second round. Look where his buddy Da'Rick is..., his behavior cost him all kinds of money.

I think it is set by a formula based on the number one players contract. I could have the wrong sport or just be wrong period. Either way it's a lot of money. Me and Momma' could really kick it up with that kind of green.

Bray has carved up the lesser competition he has faced, but his numbers against good, solid SEC defenses are much lower. I think another year facing those defenses will help his decision-making, thus improving his stock in the eyes of NFL personnel. If he came back his senior year and showed growth against the upper-level teams, he would easily be a top 5-10 pick. But his decision making IS what is questioned sometimes, so I really don't see him staying.

Nice to see Dallas Thomas as a 1-2 rounder. They still have him on the OT list, don't know if he'll play out as tackle or guard at the next level.

I would be absolutely stunned if Bray doesn't go in the first or second round. Every projection I've seen lately has him as a second-round pick at worst, and I think some GM will be too impressed by his throwing ability to pass on him if he's still available in the second round. His stock could improve at the combine, too, or with a good performance at UT's pro day.
