2012 Bowl Prospects and Declared Underclassmen

[CultBrennan59]

I hope everyone here watched Bama (and some of LSU's) defense tonight. They looked like an NFL defense going against a college offense.

Courtney Upshaw DE/OLB
Donta Hightower ILB
Dre Kirkpatrick CB
Dequan Menzie CB
Robert Lester S
Mark Baron S
Gentry DE
Chapman NT
That defense is all future nfl players, and should be skins possibilities (especially the secondary, DE, and Hightower)

LSU's defense is insane as well.

Mathieu

Yes to claiborne

no to mathieu, he got targeted the whole game last night and showed why his size will be a factor in the nfl, he's too small.

I'll agree that Mathieu had a rough night, but before last nights game, I was convinced he had the most talent of any player in the nation at his position. This guy is a GAMER, he'll go first round.

Well you're insane if you say Mathieu can't play at the next level.

Baker
Brockers
Montgomery
Reid
Taylor
Simon
Brooks

Both D's are sick.

He can play, just can't start on a defense unless the team opens up in nickel. People were asking me and other draft analysts where I'd put him, I'll say 2-3, I've only seen one other analyst that would put him in the first round and that was the late first, by Matt Miller. Definitely not worth a first round pick for a nickle back/RS.

And LSU's defense is great, with great players, I was just focusing on Bama's because their guys stuck out a lot more last night, and because they won.
