Scouting the '10-'11 bowls - pt. 1 (Dec. 18-24)

(NOTE: I posted this over at Turf Show Times, but it was more Ram-specific so I've edited it to be more MTD appropriate.)

The draft stock reflects where players would be drafted were they to come out for this year's draft.  Obviously, there are "risers" who would be late picks this year that could come on for their senior years, but that's not the intent here.  It's just to give you names to look out for over the next few weeks.  Non-eligible prospects won't have a round grade.  Standout prospects regardless of class are in bold.  And obviously the grades are just my opinion, not those of MTD as a whole.
