Saturday NFL Draft watch notes

• Ohio State junior guard Justin Boren has turned into one of the more dominant interior linemen in college football. He's a very strong in the run game and is quick off the snap. Playing against Michigan, the team which he transferred from following the 2007 season, look for Boren to play with a lot of heart and tenacity.

• The run-stuffing ability of Ndamukong Suh will be on full display Saturday. Kansas State likes to run the ball and Suh can have yet another banner day. Not that Suh needs to do anything else to improve his stock, but don't be surprised if he gets at least two tackles for a loss and collapses the pocket all day.

• There might be no hotter player in the nation than Stanford running back Toby Gerhart. Against USC last week, he made highly touted safety Taylor Mays look downright silly jumping over him and breaking his tackles. Gerhart may have a hard time breaking the tackles of Cal's Tyson Alualu, one of the most aggressive interior linemen in the country.

• Florida State might not be as good on defense this year, but the Seminoles still do a good job of pressuring opposing quarterbacks. That means Maryland left tackle Bruce Campbell could do well for his draft stock by having a dominant day. The junior is one of the more athletic tackles in the nation but has been injured parts of this season.

• Earlier this week we talked about underrated Tulane wide receiver Jeremy Williams, but he's not the only solid Green Wave prospect. Don't forget about running back Andre Anderson. He's one of the most consistent running backs in the country, but possibly not a No. 1 running back. What he is, though, is a quick and strong back.

• C.J. Spiller is asserting himself as the best running back in the nation. The Tigers have won five-straight games and Spiller is the big reason. In those games, he's rushing for 95.2 yards per game. He's an all-around threat and unbelievably fast. Spiller is looking like the next Chris Johnson, but more on that next week.
