Source: Ball State QB Davis to enter NFL draft
ESPN: NFL (13.01.2009 13:53)
Ball State quarterback Nate Davis has decided to enter the NFL draft, a person close to Davis said.
Could this be another MAC (or whatever conference it is) NFL QB success story...??? |

Not as likely as some others. He's got a very accurate arm, but no arm strength and questionable decision-making. Had he come back for his senior year and gained some more experience, he'd have a better shot. One of the best rules of drafting a QB is stay away from the early-entry guys---they've failed more often than not in recent years.

After I posted this, I realized I misspoke. Davis doesn't have a weak arm ... he's renowned for his arm strength. It's his decision-making and football IQ that still need work.

NFL Draft: 2009 Mock Draft

Now that the January 15th deadline for underclassmen to declare has passed and with the NFL down to its final four, Scout.com's NFL Draft Analyst Chris Steuber updates his first round projections and has the Detroit Lions selecting a quarterback with the top pick. |

After talking with someone who actually does scouting work for the Detroit Lions, I get the impression that if they want a QB, it would more likely be Mark Sanchez. However, there's some desire in the organization to grab a cornerstone OT with the #1 pick.

I think Sanchez is a 1-year wonder. Thus, it would make perfect sense the Lions want him.
With that being said, I think an OL would be a solid pick and SAFER pick.

From "The REAL Feed"...
NFL Draft from the macroperspective:
Draft order is up
KeepMedia: Football (09.03.2009 18:10)
The NFL released the round-by-round order of this year's NFL Draft, which runs April 25-26. As it stands, the Raiders have single picks in six of the seven rounds.
And, from the "micro-est" of microperspectives:
Despite no sure things in this draft, Stafford still Lions' best bet
KeepMedia: Football (09.03.2009 18:10)
There are no guarantees in the NFL Draft. As Lions fans theorize as to which prospect will most likely turn to gold for a franchise due to hit the draft jackpot, general manager Martin Mayhew and head coach Jim Schwartz are exhausting resources to make
