2010 NFL Draft -- Big Board / Hawkeye Projections

Publicado  Thursday, April 22, 2010


In less than 4 hours, the 2010 NFL Draft kicks off its first ever, 3-day live coverage event on television. There are MLB games & NBA Playoffs on tonight and all weekend, but the draft will have my attention as I sit back and watch where the collegiate football stars from the past four years wind up. Along with that, there are seven Hawkeye players who are fighting for a spot on the draft board this year. Most of them are a lock to be drafted, but a couple are on the hot seat. Let's take a look at where our boys are projected to be taken off the board:

--> Bryan Bulaga (OT) - Round 1 (anywhere from a Top 10-20 pick)
--> Amari Spievey (CB) - Projected Rounds 2-4
--> Pat Angerer (LB) - Projected Rounds 3-6
--> Tony Moeaki (TE) - Projected Rounds 3-6
--> AJ Edds (LB) - Projected Rounds 4-7
--> Kyle Calloway (OT) - Projected Rounds 4-5
--> Dace Richardson (OG) - Projected Rounds 6-undrafted

It is hard to predict where each player will land. Bulaga is a lock for the first round. Some projections have him going as high as pick #5, some as low as #20. As for the other boys, we hope for the best and we'll be watching for your names to pop up on the bottomline when your time comes!

As for the other draft candidates this year, I thought I would list my Big Board of top players. I'm not going to guess which order they'll get drafted, but these are the players I feel will perform the best in the NFL:

Chase's Big Board
1. Ndamukong Suh (DT) Nebraska
2. Sam Bradford (QB) Oklahoma
3. Eric Berry (S) Tennessee
4. Derrick Morgan (DE) Georgia Tech
5. Dez Bryant (WR) Oklahoma St.
