Two Blue Chippers to Enter the 2007 NFL Draft


Two of the best pro prospects at their repective positions have announced their intentions to enter the 2007 NFL Draft. This has been expected for quite some time and Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson is widely considered the top player available. The Oakland Raiders will have a difficult decision between Johnson and LSUs QB JaMarcus Russell. Johnson is a freak of nature with tight end size and wide reciever speed and hands, he is projected to measure out at about 6-4 230 pounds and clock in with 4.4 speed.


Michigan defensive tackle Alan Branch also opted to forgo his senior season yesterday. Branch is still developing, but displayed an incredible amount of size, strength and athletic ability on one of the nation's best defenses. Branch is projected to be a top 10 pick and with a good NFL Combine could be gone within the first five selections. Branch is another freak of nature, with proto-type size at 6-5 328 pounds, he would make an ideal fit in any defensive scheme.
