I know we have an underclassmen thread, but this announcement was too big in my opinion and I think Oher deserves his own thread.

Potential top 10 pick, this is the Jamaal Anderson announcement of the 2008 Draft I have been waiting for.

Had #1 overall potential next season. Interesting decision. ****s up my 09 mock big time.

Be curious to see what it does to your 2008 mock, Matt.

Wow, this is going to be a great draft for tackles.

[Matt McGuire]

With Oher, next year's class was going to be a great tackle draft in the first round...this year it looks like round 1 is pretty good and the tackle depth is good.

Oher made the talent in this draft go up a lot...not necessarilly by himself but he compensates for the losses of Laurinaitis and Maualuga.

No Laurinaitis? Damn, Broncos are going to have to draft Sedrick Ellis then. Or maybe Kenny Phillips if he falls that far.

I've been on the road all day. I didn't know about Lauranitis and Maualuga. I wanted Rey M.

There could be a lot of OT in round 1. This is a deep draft class, anyone want to trade up to #14, lol.

Neither will be there when the Broncos Draft.
