from NFL Draft Scout
I don't know how accurately a scouting service could possibly assess the draft statii of players who have never played a single down of college football, but I thought this was a fascinating exercise nonetheless.

Comments- I would switch Ike and Beckum's rounds and Ike should be classified as '08 realistically. I'd love for him to stay, but that isn't going to happen. Carimi is astonishingly high, but I personally thought he was much more impressive than Bscherer when I watched their videos on signing day. I'm fairly confident Hoey will get drafted. Levy is underrated. I think he could be a beast. I think Evridge is being underrated because his measureables are outstanding. Kemp wouldn't realistically sniff being drafted if there were 14 rounds. '09 will be a monster draft year for the Badgers.
Before these rankings are dismissed as completely preposterous, I should note that as a kid I bought a magazine about the future stars in pro sports, and it was astonishing how accurate the predictions were. For example they were projecting NFL stars ten years into the future, using players who were in high school and early in college, and they picked numerous future studs like Ray Lewis and Derrick Brooks (off the top of my head).
