[Husker] RE: NU draftables

[andy at knipp.com]

Bowman and Bo Rudd are the top of the draft list. Purify and Keller 
are also on the  list of guys who should get drafted. I also expect to 
see a number of others as possible late picks/free agents. Nunn, Hardy 
(speed kills), Grixby, Nicks, Brandenburg, Green, Octo,  and possibly 
McKeon. 

Even players from bad teams get picked up. Guys like Rudd and McKeon 
had great years before tand then the wheels fell off the team. Because 
of that, they will get a long look. 

There will only be a couple (my guess is top 4) invited to the 
combine. The rest will need to prove themselves during NFL scout day at 
NU. 

As to ML, he may decide to turn pro, but that would be a huge mistake. 
Currently his best bet is to hope to sign on a team as a 3rd down RB. 
But until he can show he can run consistently between the tackles, his 
NFL future is limited.
