Good news on the NFL draft

I know it is still awhile before our juniors have to decide if they are going pro early but with Georgia only having a handful of seniors that started this past year a big part of how good next years team will be is going to be decided by juniors that decide to enter the draft early. Think what you want about Mel Kiper he usually has a good idea of which players are drafted in the first round of the NFL draft. According to his "big board" there is no underclassman for Georgia that he has rated in his top 25. It is possible that one of them still falls into a first round grade by being in the top 32 but it is a good sign from a fans stand point the lower the grade that players like Charles and Rambo get. I wish them the best in the NFL I just hope they stick around another year before getting there.

Thoughts with Rambo...

Just saw this report on the AJC about Rambo's unborn son dying Thursday night. Just wanted to put it out there that the Dawg Fans thoughts are with him.

Production replacement - secondary

The corners are all back except for Vance Cuff. He started a few games and played a good number of snaps last year but at his best he was an average player and never a dominate one. Boykin, Commings and Smith are the top options at cb but there is a ton of young talent joining them this summer. Corner should be experienced, athletic, and deep. So deep in fact that if the young players come along quickly I expect to see Smith playing a lot more offense than last year and possibly even Boykin getting a few touches on that side of the ball.

Safety has a lot more question marks. Rambo is settled in at one spot but with Oglegtree moving to linebacker the other safety position is wide open. Last year Shawn Williams and Jakar Hamilton both had their shot at starting but neither locked it down. Coming out of spring Williams has a slight lead but that could change over the summer. Both have the athleticism and size to play the position, the question is will either of them get it together mentally. If not look for incoming freshman Moore to push for snaps and possibly the starting job. To replace last year’s production at safety shouldn't be that hard, the problem is last year’s production simply was not good enough. I expect the play to improve if for no other reason than the experience gained by Williams and Hamilton last year.
