Draft Digest: Thursday Night College Football


We have a Big 12 game tonight on Thursday Night College Football, players to watch for the 2010 NFL Draft are the following:

OT Russell Okung, Oklahoma State – Okung right now looks like a sure fire top 10 pick and the first offensive tackle drafted in the 2010 NFL Draft. Okung is a durable player, and he has started as a true freshman. He is a good athlete, with good lateral mobility which allows him to be a very good pass protector. He has quick feet and fluid movement, and also possesses a mean streak that scouts look for in offensive linemen. Coming from the spread offense that Oklahoma State runs, Okung will need to improve as a run blocker. He also needs to get stronger in the weight room.

CB Perrish Cox , Oklahoma State - Cox has good size a 6-0 200 pounds and is not only a good cover cornerback, but a willing tackler. He has good speed and shows that off as a very good return guy. He has the ability to play both man to man and zone coverage as a cornerback. He has 29 total tackles this season with 4 interceptions and 15 pass break-ups. He has 543 kick return yards on 24 returns averaging 22.6 yards a kick return. Cox also has returned 12 punts for 106 yards. Right he looks like a 2nd round draft pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

RB Keith Toston, Oklahoma State – Toston has really improved his draft stock this season, with the lost of Dez Bryant to a NCAA suspension he has been the focal point of the offense. Toston has good size at 6-0 214 and has put up some good stats this season with 958 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns, averaging 5.4 yards a carry. He has also caught 22 passes for 211 yards. The biggest question mark is going to be his straight line speed and right now looks like a 5th round pick.

QB Zac Robinson, Oklahoma State - Robinson plays in a spread offense that so much of college football is going to, and which makes it hard for NFL personal to really get a true evaluation on what a quarterback can do at the next level. One things Robinson is a good athlete and can move in the pocket to give himself time to get the ball down field and has a strong arm. He hasn’t had the season that many people thought he would have and some of the reason is because of the NCAA suspension of his top receiver Dez Bryant. He is completing 63.5% of his passes for 1,922 yards and 15 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He has rushed for 302 yards and 4 touchdowns. Right now looks like a 6th or 7th round pick that a team will want to develop for down the road.

OG Andrew Lewis, Oklahoma State – Lewis has the ability to play both guard and center and has decent size at 6-4 295 pounds. Does a good job in pass blocking, but needs to get a little stronger in run blocking and that will come in time because of the offense that he plays in. He has good feet and is a good overall athlete. Right now he looks like a 7th round pick.

S Andre Sexton, Oklahoma State – Sexton has played linebacker and safety at Oklahoma State, he has good size at 6-0 224 and will be projected as a safety at the next level he is a good overall athlete, but needs to improve his coverage skills but is a good tackler. This season so far has 53 total tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 1 interception, and 4 pass break-ups. Right now looks like a late round draft pick or an undrafted rookie free-agent.

S Lucien Antoine, Oklahoma State – Antoine is a physical safety and will come up and hit you. Has good size at 6-1 215, but needs to improve his coverage skills. This season has 53 total tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, and 1 interception. Will be a in the box type safety at the next level. Right now looks like a late round draft pick or an undrafted rookie free-agent.

OLB Patrick Lavine, Oklahoma State – Lavine has been a constant for OSU over the last three seasons, he finished second on the team in tackles as a freshman and sophomore and fourth as a junior. This season has 59 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack and 5 interceptions. Lavine has a safety in high school and skill has good coverage skills for an outside linebacker and has decent size at 6-2 226 pounds. He needs to add some weight to play at the next level and right now like a late round draft pick or an undrafted rookie free-agent.

Colorado really doesn’t have any seniors for the 2010 NFL Draft.
