The Dude Projects Jonathan Dwyer
The biggest question leading up to this year’s draft has to be Jonathan Dwyer. Last year the Yellow Jacket freshman ran for 436 yards, filling in for the injured Tashard Choice. He displayed a real nose for the end zone, scoring 9 touchdowns (about 1 every 9 times he carried the ball). Choice has moved on. New Coach Paul Johnson has moved in. There is no mystery behind Johnson’s love of running the football using the triple option. The question is: What does this mean for Dwyer?
The Dude asks: Who should be projected next?
It’s up to you. Who are you interested in seeing projected?
Loading ...The Dude Projects Jahvid Best
The Dude says: Draft Jahvid Best in Round 1 and you won’t be sorry.
Super-frosh Jahvid Best only carried the ball 29 times last season, however he managed to average 7.6 yrds/carry (221 yards, 2 touchdowns). Projecting Best based on his production last season is quite difficult. Looking at his predecessors makes this an easier task.
The Dude Projects Tyrell Sutton
The Dude remembers back to 2005 when Tyrell Sutton owned college football. Drafting a back with almost 1,500 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns coupled with almost 400 yards receiving and another 2 touchdowns was a no-brainer in Round 1. However, these are different times. While his talent is unquestioned, Sutton has fought injuries ever since his freshman year. Where do you draft a Tyrell Sutton?

If you’re into this sort of thing, here are some YouTube highlights of solid returning players for 2008. All the videos are pretty cool, but my personal favorites are Maclin and Murray, who has a superb kick return against Tulsa around the 2 minute mark.
