Week Two: Draft Stock Up/Stock Down
Up:
QB Chase Daniel, Missouri- After placing him on the down list last week, Daniel rebounded and looked like a solid second-round type quarterback. It will be interesting to see him play the Big 12 schedule, and not SE Missouri State. The moral of the story: Scouting in weeks 1-4 is a joke.
FS David Bruton, Notre Dame- One of the lone bright spots so far for the Irish (1-0). Bruton has shown amazing speed and versatility. He's out from under the shadow of Tom Zbikowski, and may end up being the better draft prospect.
CB Mike Mickens, Cincinnati- While the rest of his team struggled against Oklahoma, Mickens more than held his own. In the process, he showed NFL scouts his ability to run with top-end receivers.
Down:
RB James Davis, Clemson- Davis was ranked as high as #5 overall at one point this off-season, but his inability to show anything so far this season has us moving him down, down, down.
CB Victor Harris, Virginia Tech- At one point Harris was my top cornerback, but he continues his down-hill slide, along with the entire VT team.
Out:
OT Andre Smith, Alabama- The big junior prospect is questionable for Saturday's game with a right knee sprain.
QB Dustin Grutza, Cincinnati- Grutza will miss the rest of the season with a broken right fibula. In the season opener he was named the Big East player of the week.
TE Tony Moeaki, Iowa- Moeaki, who has been riddled with injuries, is probable this week after suffering a broken foot.
S William Moore, Missouri- Moore is probable for this weekend with a sprained right foot.

How much is his recent injury hurting his stock in your eyes? Didn’t he play through an injury last year?

It does, but
It hurts his stock, but he’s only a junior. It could really hurt his ‘09 draft status, but we have to remember that Adrian Peterson didn’t play one full season at Oklahoma. He’s doing okay.
