Sliders and Risers

 

RISERS

 

Eric Hagg/S/Nebraska: The Cornhuskers defensive backfield is loaded with next-level talent and it's easy to overlook Hagg, one of the most dependable players in the secondary. He's a complete safety who combines outstanding instincts, toughness against the run and ball skills in coverage. Hagg's stat line in the win over Washington was not eye-popping -- one tackle, one interception and a pair of passes broken up. Yet his ability to stay away from mental errors and play smart, aggressive football each week has impressed scouts.

Love seeing Hagg get some pub. Special player on a dominant D, and arguably the most important player out there.

Jake Locker/QB/Washington: Locker started the season with uninspired performances against BYU and Syracuse before an awful showing against Nebraska last Saturday. He completed just four of 20 passes for 71 yards and had a pair of interceptions. Locker has forced the ball into coverage while trying to rely on his arm strength to make plays this season. His decision-making has been suspect at times. There's time for the senior to turn around his play, yet there's no denying he has hurt himself in the eyes of NFL scouts in the early going of the 2010 campaign.

The week before this, Nate Enderle was also a slider. Huskers seem to be a good team for ruining draft stock.
