Tears from a Texan...

by MattMiller on Dec 15, 2007 11:54 PM EST in 2008 NFL Draft

Running back Jamaal Charles and tight end Jermichael Finley have filed their paperwork with the NFL Advisory Committee today. Charles has went on record twice that he intends to return, but a high grade could change his mind (especially if Greg Davis returns as offensive coordinator and ignores Charles until week 8). Finley was mis-used in the Texas offense this year and at times completely overlooked. Like much of the Longhorn's now in the NFL, Finley will likely be a high-caliber player that did not reach his potential in Austin.

Not that I'm bitter....

The school would really hurt

If those two guys left.
Personally, I hope Charles declares because he'd be the perfect target for my cowboys. But I think that for his sake, he'd be far better off staying for his senior campaign.

He'd look great in a Cowboys uniform!

Charles

He really exploded in the second half of the season and especially the second half of a couple games (if I remember correctly) but is he really considering coming out with such a strong RB class? Seems like he'd get overlooked unless he had a great combine or individual workout. I would think the Texas offense would be better next year also with Colt McCoy having another year of experience.
