ryan williams, rb, virginia tech- im a hokie so you may think im just being a homer, but this kid is amazing. breaking school records and acc records as a r-freshman, just ran hard against tennessee. knows how to find the endzone, he will be a high pick when he comes out.

dwayne harris, wr/kr, ECU- Ive watched them a few times this year, and this guy is electric. great speed and vision, always a threat for the home run. he is a junior but will come out next year im sure.

terrell pryor, qb, Ohio State- Im as big a critic of the big ten and all their schools as you will find, and an even bigger critic of their offenses, but pryor finally stepped up and lived up to his billing. for those that dont know, he was the #1 rated player in the nation coming out of high school by rivals, so he had big shoes to fill. he had a career day in the biggest game of his life, playing with a torn pcl. hes a true soph, lets see if tressell will let him build on this success, or will he revert to being hyper-conservative next year again.

noel devine, rb, wvu- he has world class speed, junior this year so he could come out. has a penchant for the big play out of nothing, and showed that again against fsu.

matthews is a freshman, so you are just blowing your vt horn on that one

but i am a wvu fan so let me toot my own horn on noel, i would love for the skins to pick him up in the fourth, his speed and cuts are unbeleivable, shame the big east had shuch a bad showing in their bowl's this year

take a second and re-read my post. i clearly preface it with players that had good bowls or players that were impressive, not saying we could draft or should draft them. and im sure you meant williams.

I don't know why I feel this way, but I thought that Noel Devine was over hyped comming out of High School.

He is a good player now in college but I don't see his transition to the NFL being all that good. I could be wrong but it is my gut feeling. If he turns out to be good I will happily eat these words.

I want Devine to be a redskin so bad it hurts sometimes. He's fast, strong, and small (I've always liked small running backs, they fit through holes that barely exist and their hard to find), and he has incredible balance. I think at the very least he's a better Darren Sproles, and at best he's Barry Sanders. Either way I think if we go to a multi back rotation, get a guy to pound it like Toby Gerhart and we get Devine, we'll have one of the best backfields in football.

edit: forgot to mention that he has amazing vision

Easy on the possible Barry Sanders comparisons. Remember Barry got 2,600+ yards in college over the course of a single season. Devine would have to almost double his yardage from this season to get that. In short, you'll know have a very good idea of when the next Barry Sanders will come along.

In 1988 Sanders also got over 100 more touches than Devine. Yes 7.6 avg is rediculous but Devine had 8.6 his freshman year (granted he was used as a backup change of pace back). I'm not gonna say that Devine is going to be better than Sanders and maybe the comparison is slight hyperole, but look at his consistently high numbers through college, watch wvu games and highlights of his running, I think he can be special.
