NFL Draft

What about Ricky Henry? I see him getting drafted in a later round.

sorry... forgot about Ricky henry.

When all these guys are taken collectively, we do indeed lose a great deal of talent this year.

No love for McNeil? He's projected in the fourth round.

Even with NFL's reluctance to draft kickers, I think Henry goes higher than people think. He brings the addition of being able to punt too. I really wouldn't be surprised to see someone take a chance on him late third or fourth.

There were several teams that had issues with kickers this year in the NFL. Henery will be drafted, it may be late but a few teams will want his services.

The Huskers could potentially have 7+ players drafted.

We had 7 in 1999 & 2001 and 8 in 1997. Its been a while since we've had that many prospects.

Hagg and Gomes are going to be mid-rounders along with Paul and Henery (who only falls because he's a kicker). Depending on how fast Helu's 40 is, he could jump to be a first day draftee. The linemen will get looks, but they're more likely to be FAs unless a team falls in love with them. And Prince isn't going below 15.

Predicting a good draft by Huskers.

Roy for sure in 5th or 6th, Niles will be practice squad.

ESPN has Niles ranked as the 14th overall WR. People like his size and strength. Maybe he flourishes there. He's been hit and miss here.
