Five Huskers on the latest 2012 Mocking The Draft rankings

I expect crick to climb as soon as the season starts but not bad i hope that thier stock rises as the season wears on

Mel Kiper has Crick listed #22. He seems to be a mid-to-late 1st round projection on various mock draft boards so far.

About the same place Niles Paul was at this time last year

Lavonte David is way too low.

Whats Baker doing on this list? Nothing against him, i just havent seen it in him thus far in his career. This being his Junior year.

I can see Baker on the list a heck of a lot quicker than Yoshi. Yes Yosh has an NFL frame, but what has he done that has been overly impressive. Baker's motor and play seemed to grow as the year went on, and with two more years very easily could become Suh3.0/Crick 2.0.

Of course Chase Rome could come in and blow him out of the water as well, something completely hypothetical much like a stupid mock draft board 11 months away.

Same thought here. If I was going to list a jr D-lineman I think I'd have Cam before Baker. Baker's great alright. But Cam is going to be something special for us this year.

Agreed, I am excited to see a healthy Camstache for a complete season, i think that shoulder bothered him last year.

E. Martin will be on everyones board after the first three games when he has recorded 9 sacks, 2 beheadings and an int.

Todd Peat, Chase Rome, and Kevin Williams all have potential to do what Crick/Suh did. We are quickly becoming defensive lineman university, and I like it.

Can people please not put Crick and Suh in the same sentence when talking talent. No one will be Suh for another 20 years, but yes we are becoming D-Line U.
