Early 2008 NFL Draft News

The big news out today is Scott Wright has changed his website domain from NFL Draft Countdown, to just Draft Countdown: www.draftcountdown.com. Historically, Draft Countdown has been probably the best web site for free NFL Draft information on the Internet. Amazingly he has resisted the temptation over the years to add fees to his site and I have recently been assured his web site will remain free. He already has his 2009 NFL Mock Draft and Prospect Rankings updated and he is planning on keeping his Wright Stuff Blog updated throughout the season. Don't forget to change your bookmarks and links.

In other NFL Draft News, Florida senior tight end Cornelius Ingram will miss the 2008 college football season with a torn ACL in his left knee. It is unclear whether Ingram will attempt a red-shirt or enter the 2009 NFL Draft. Last season (2007) the 6' 4" 230 pound tight end recorded 508 receiving yards and tied for a team-high seven touchdowns. Ingram came to Florida as a star quarterback and is very athletic, even playing on the Florida basketball team. Not a strong blocker and this injury will cause him to slip if he does enter the 2009 NFL Draft, but he has NFL potential and reminds me of the Denver Bronco's Brandon Marshal.

Look for the Florida offense to possibly struggle early with timing issues, they have been hit with an injury bug. Wide Receiver (WR) Louis Murphy has been walking around with a boot on his right leg to protect a sprained ankle, and WR Percy Harvin is still recovering from a heel injury. Don't feel too sorry for Heisman Hopeful QB Tim Tebow however, both receivers are very talented and should be on the field by opening day.
