Southern Cal running back LenDale White declared himself eligible for the NFL draft Wednesday, saying he had accomplished everything he wanted to for the Trojans.

White said the decision was difficult. "I wouldn't say it was a slam dunk" to leave USC, he said.

Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush will announce Thursday whether he'll return to Southern California for his senior season or enter the NFL draft

Gee, what a shocker that is.

I heard the Dolphins trade Ricky williams to the Texans for David Carr and then the Texans take Vince Young.

It looks like Houston is going to take Vince Young. There is a real grass roots effort by the people in Houston to get him (that's his hometown). Evidently there is a history of Houston taking local standouts for their pro teams.

Vince Young even stated last night at some award ceremony that he wanted to play in Houston.

I'll trade some gi-joes against a collection of baseball cards

Good for Houston. Continued futility. What a waste. If they had any kind of O line they might be a decent team. Instead they will overpay for this guy and he will wash out. Think Marcus Vick.

I've been trying to find what White's draft stock is like these days...any projections? Top 10? 20?

I haven't seen anyone put out a draft projection yet. I have been curious to see how the experts line up the players. Dallas picks way down the list this year, and they need a quarterback pretty bad. With Young coming out, that just adds one more to the list before Dallas picks. In other words, it pushes someone down one spot closer to Dallas's pick.

If anyone sees any list of players in order of their importance in the draft, please post it.

I heard the Packers are looking at taking White a 5.Is there an anihil8tor thread about this somewhere like I care?

[WoolyGoat]

I think Posluszny is staying in school.

That's what I was hoping to see with White...I'd love to see the Pats get him or Maroney (if he falls), but there's probably a greater need at linebacker...

They must still be mourning the death of Big Reggie.

Even with all five players they still won't be able to fill all of their gaps.

I think its all for Brett Favre.They are hiring their old QB coach so he wont retire but I think it wont matter they need to much.

Am I to understand he dressed like an NFL class act?
