Back on topic, I'm a little surprised at some of the Dawgs who didn't get drafted. Danny Ware was no shock to me (sorry, Danny, but you really should have transferred to a 1-A or D2 school where you could have shown what you could do) but Nick Jones? Tra Battle? These are Dawgs who really really stepped it up last year. Nick Jones was the heart and soul not just of the offensive line, but of the offense itself and the whole team, according to most other Dawgs. There were others who didn't get their names called (Gordon Ely-Kelso, Danny Verdun-Wheeler), but I thought that Jones and Battle deserve to play at the next level. And while I support nearly all Dawgs in their professional exploits (sorry, Quincy, you don't get my love), I don't understand Shackleford getting drafted but Nick Jones staying home. Nick was, after all, the only offensive lineman with a touchdown for the Dawgs (he recovered a David Greene fumble in the end zone against Kentucky in '04...six of the sixty-two we put on the Wildcats that day).
What do you all think? Who do you think was overlooked?
