Fabian landed in the first round and he looked pretty horrible at times in '04.
and, i think even more surprisingly, he did pretty well during his rookie season. and he was drafted that high purely b/c of his speed! IMO a speedster is going to do better in the NFL vs College b/c of some of the rule differences but his success so far still surprised me.
As far as bullocks, if a 40-time can put Fabian into the 1st round, then i wouldn't be surprised to see Dan go in the second. from the practices they've had on tv, he played very well. he was always near the ball, had a couple INTs and a couple near INTs (that would have been hard to catch). he looked every bit the ballhawk his brother was in '03. Kiper was giving him props even before he impressed in practices. so maybe they saw something in his Husker film that we didn't see, for one, he didn't exactly have a stellar supporting cast around him in the secondary last year.
if i were a nfl gm i would go after a consistent player, not a player w/ alot of upside, but that is just me
slightly off topic as far as Nebraska players but as far as consistancy... has anyone seen Watson from Michigan? the rant on the guy of course is that he was horribly inconsistant- he would have an amazing game one week, then disappear the next week.
The ESPN and NFL Network commentators brought that up every time the guy came on the screen. Thing is, he sure wasn't inconsistant in the practices, he looked like he was going 110% every drill. good thing he happened to pick up his effort the scouts were watching :thumbs
