2011 NFL Draft: Best Prospect on Each BCS Team
The NFL Draft scouting process can favorably be compared to a game of chutes and ladders. As the regular season unfolds and eventually gives way to the postseason evaluation period, college football players can see their NFL stocks fluctuate a great deal.
One bad performance here or one eye opening, impressive showing there, and things can instantly change.
For the most part though, no matter how player’s stocks fluctuate throughout the process, it’s still normally pretty easy to grasp which player from a given school has the brightest NFL future.
Sure there are teams like Alabama, Ohio State, USC and other large programs that have years when they have three or four highly touted prospects bunched together, but often times a team’s top NFL prospect usually stands out from the crowd.
So let’s have a look at every BCS team’s top eligible NFL Draft prospect this year whether they be a senior, junior or a redshirt sophomore.
Note: I left four schools—Duke, Minnesota, Washington State, and Vanderbilt—off the list because I don’t feel like they have any players worthy of an draft pick this year.
