So Miami and Boston College are the only two teams without a position player and Boston College had no one make the list...sad.

Well I know some national outlets have predicted we'd finish 3-8.

It is hard to blame Randy that Vernon, Miller, Washington, Streeter, etc declared for the draft early. Otherwise, we'd have guys on that list.

I don't see Vernon making the list over the two DE's that are there. Miller may have a shot, but Bernard is a VERY good runningback, and hasn't peaked yet. Would have probably handled Ellington.. Washington would be a given, I'd think. Streeter wasn't making that list over Watkins and like it or not, the kid from Duke is a pretty damn good receiver. Very well rounded.
