Apologies if this is ready discussed elsewhere. I was hoping for some insight on the thoughts around the game from the draft experts on some of our players. I especially hope to see AJ get a shot in the NFL. Much like his college career, he will undoubtedly be overlooked due to his size but could prove worthy if he gets a shot. He is such a complete player. Especially with the way NFL teams are using RB duos, I think he could be useful to someone.

I also think Joe Lowery and Joe Anderson both have a shot to be drafted. We will really miss those guys up front, BIG TIME.

Papi White could also get a shot, though his size could also hurt him. I hope someone gives him a look.

I'm a narrow focused biased Bobcat fan so hope someone smarter than I has insights on the draft prospects of these great Bobcats.

I have nothing to go on, but I think Joe Lowery becomes one of our top five highest-drafted Bobcats from the last thirty years. I think he has a powerful NFL career as well. My guess is 4th round.

My expectations for Lowery are a bit subdued. A lot of draft boards don't have him in the top 25 offensive tackles.

I think Irons deserves a shot in a camp.

I think Joe will be drafted, but who knows? I am willing to bet, however, that he will have a career in the NFL.

I think Hagen is the best prospect we have. But hopefully he sticks around for another year.

Lowery has the size where I could see him being drafted very high.

I've seen scouting sites that have him with a draft grade of "5th-7th round" but then I also see that PFF graded him as the best run-blocker in the nation this season. Makes me wonder if some of the scouting sites just gave him an arbitrary low grade because he's a MAC guy they don't know anything about...
I've seen crazier things happen.

Quite honestly, I think all 4 of our possible Sunday participants are going to have to get invited to, and then impress, in senior bowls to have a decent shot at an NFL roster. Lowery and Anderson have been named as late-rounders or UFAs, but Lowery seems to be getting a lot of late season love.

Papi's best chance I think is a 3rd down RB option like Eric Metcalf or Darren Sproles. He's just too small for today's NFL as even a slot receiver. Not sure he'll get the chance as a 3rd down back, but hopefully he does. I can't fathom he won't be a UFA, but think ultimately he may be best suited for the CFL.

Ouellette would perfect as a 3rd or 4th choice RB at a tough running team. Again, imagine he'll get a UFA option but it'll be a tough road for him to stick anywhere. If he does, that'll be my new NFL team. Loved watching Ouellette the last 4 years.

The commentators last night also mentioned that TE Connor Brown I believe had a chance of being drafted as he had protypical size and speed for the NFL together with soft hands.

This team will have more guys in camp than ever before per a nfl scout that I spoke to recently. Maleek will be doing big time draft/pro day/combine prep in Houston with some Pros. Pro Day will be huge for guys trying to sneak into the Draft. I think 4-5 guys could make teams or practice teams when its said and done.
1.Joe L
2.Joe A
3.Durrel Wood
4.Papi
5.AJ
6.Maleek
7.Kylan N
8.Connor B
9.Evan Croutch
Wild Card LS Jake Hale

If Maleek can get his quad to heal and come back from surgery, he will run a 4.4, he has great vision and great footwork, he will get a look if the coaches speak well about him. AJ will definitely be in a camp, he has tremendous heart and good top end speed, he needs to improve his vision to make a roster. Papi will need to run in the 4.3’s because of his stature. I love papi and think he can play anywhere but he will have to wow with his numbers. The pro day will be huge for joe Anderson because his tape will pop, when u watch him u just want to see more and more. He needs to post some athletic numbers and not give any teams a chance to look past him, samething with wood. Lowery will be drafted as long as he does not put up Orlando brown numbers. Croutch is so underated, his only negative is getting off blocks. Kylan will need great numbers because his tape will not pop. Conner brown was underused and I don’t know his blocking grades, he looks like a pretty good athlete, the coaches will have to talk him up
Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach. Woody Hayes
