George Selvie, DE/LB, South Florida
Selvie is probably the only true 1st-round talent in the Big East that will enter the draft this year. He is a hybrid player that struggles to fill out his frame. Ideal for a speed-based 3-4 defense.

Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia
Without Pat White, Devine will have to work hard to duplicate his 1200+ yards from his sophomore campaign. He has the quicks and the speed to do it.

Tony Pike, QB, Cinci
Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cinci
Pike and Gilyard should continue to team up to torch the Big East defenses. While Gilyard will probably be a day one pick, if Pike plays well his senior season, he may rise all the way up to the 3rd round.

Arthur Jones, DT, Syracuse
Jones is able to anchor well versus the run but needs to step up his pass-rushing ability if he wants to impact the first round of the 2010 Draft.

We could probably make two or three lists for SEC Players, as there is some incredible talent coming out this year. The SEC could easily have 15-16 first rounders in 2010.

Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida
Spikes has the tenacity and drive to compete inside in a 4-3 or 3-4 defense. He and Carlos Dunlap will make it hard on other SEC offenses.

Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Will compete with Taylor Mays to be the first safety drafted. Berry is an incredible playmaker.

Rico McCoy, LB, Tennessee
McCoy reminds me of the toughness and instincts exhibited by a certain other Volunteer LB that Patriot fans know and love.

Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
A true mountain of a man, Cody will be plucked up by the first team that needs a 3-4 nose tackle.

Ciron Black, OT, LSU
Black could have been a 1st-Day pick in 2009, but chose to return to the bayou and hone his skills. That should make him a top 20 pick.
