NFL Draft Linkarama (1/22) The Underclassmen edition

There are a ton of underclassmen in this year’s NFL Draft.  There are a ton of excellent players as well.  This article believes Tennessee S Eric Berry is the top underclassman. [Orland Sentinel]  You agree?  Disagree?  Feel free to discuss it and share your thoughts HERE.

CNN SI looks at what underclassmen made the right decision, and which made the wrong decision.  [ CNNSI ]

There really is not much there to differ on.  I agree that one of the big questionable decision to enter the draft was Ole Miss QB Jevan Snead.  He really did not have that great of a season when comparing his performance to his earlier Sophomore year.  In fact, I agree with the article.  I think Snead’s junior season was pretty poor.

One that I would have added was the non-entry decision by Jake Locker.  I think Locker took a three big risks going back to Washington his senior year.  The three big risks – - -

1.  Who to say Locker won’t get hurt?  How will the effect his draft status?

2.  What if Locker has an off-year like Snead?  How much will that cost him?

3.  The quarterback class next season has to be stronger than this season.  This is a weak draft class for QBs and Locker would have been No. 1 among this group.

Once though to be a top ten pick, Snead will be lucky if he sniffs the first round.
