[Husker] Huskers Prospects in NFL Draft

[Nick Chevance]

At the risk of starting up something about that bugaboo - evaluating
talent - here is the take on the 2008 NFL draft prospects of this
year's Huskers, courtesy of Pro Football Weekly.  What they know, I
don't know.  How they know what they know, I don't know that either.
How this differs from Mel Kiper, I have no earthly idea.  But this is
what they say they know.  The first link will take you to an
explanation of how they rank players, then you can follow the links to
each position or as a whole draft.  Only two get ranked in the top
250; that's what, maybe 6 or 7 rounds of picks?
