| Early 2013 Draft Projections
I'm sure there are a lot of draft projections out there for next year (with more on the way), but I thought these two were interesting from recognized national media outlets. At the very least, it demonstrates that we have NFL talent at the QB and WR positions this year. Early 2013 NFL Draft Rankings | AthlonSports.com
Bray - 6th overall
Hunter - 40th overall 2013 NFL Draft: Top five prospects by position - NFL.com
Bray - 4th best QB
Rogers - 3rd best WR |

| I tend to think Bray, Hunters, and Rogers all have a legit shot at a first round with a great year. Hunter is a little questionable to scouts just because of the injury. I personally think Hunter is better than Rogers and if all of these guys stay healthy they will all be 1st or 2nd rounders at least.
That being said, we have to have a good year and win. If they have great numbers and we don't win then something is wrong.
GO VOLS!!! | |

| If Hunter is healthy, he is an automatic first round pick. |

GO VOLS!!! | And this is the unsettlable debate.  If Hunter can really learn to trust his knee this season, the "competition" between them to get drafted should be great and we can expect great things.

| I honestly think Justin Hunter is good enough to be a top ten pick. Not so sure about Bray or Rogers. Rogers could be a second round guy, and who knows about Bray, with the way some of these teams draft QBs. | |

| I could see a situation where Bray, Hunter and CP are around for their senior years.
Not DR - he is going to focus this year and play as hard as he can - then he will cash in.
And I have no problems with that.

| If we get 9 or 10 wins this year and all these juniors come back, we have a chance at the NC the year after. I hope that's how it plays out. | |

| Would feel better if we had a couple of DE/DT/OT/OG on the list. Looking at the current group of SRs I don't see any of them going in 1st or 2nd round.

And I have no problems with that. | This is the most likely scenario. Barring something unforeseen, Rogers will declare for the NFL draft. He has proven he is one of the top WRs in college football. | |

That was the problem last year. | |

The more of our current offense we have for 2013, the better I like our chances at an SEC championship. Sentimore would also be nice to keep for 2 years. I think the better our year this year, the more likely we keep players.
Edit: after re-reading, quite a few captain obvious statements. | |

If I had torn an ACL in college and could come out with a first round grade and get some signing bonus $$ guaranteed I would have 100% left | |

Edit: after re-reading, quite a few captain obvious statements. | Tiny and Fulton can't go (likely starters) - Dallas is a senior
so your only talking about Bullard and JJames - i think losing 2 underclassman OL would be highly unlikely | |
