Superstars wanted

Josh Kendall confirmed what much of the Dawgnation suspected. This will be a weak year for Dawgs in the NFL Draft.

"For a team to be as developed as Georgia is at its high level of competition and have such a small and marginal draft class is very unusual," said Frank Coyle, publisher of Draft Insiders' Digest and www.draftinsiders.com.

It's actually been a few years since we've had a great draft day.Things are looking up in that respect, if not in next years draft, then certainly in 2010. Geno Atkins and Jeff Owens have made the Outland Trophy watch list and Knowshon has made the Heisman watch list.

But more than that, after reading through several of the pre-season football mags, websites, and a few television reports, several Dawgs are on All-American or All-SEC teams. The following Dawgs made these teams from at least one of the sources.

All-American
Knowshon Moreno
Jeff Owens
Asher Allen

All-SEC
Matt Stafford
Knowshon Moreno
Trinton Sturdivant
Jeff Owens
Geno Atkins
Asher Allen
Dannell Ellerbie
Rennie Curran
Reshad Jones

Each of those guys should be 1st day if not 1st round of their draft classes.

Tomorrow, I'll give my personal opinion of which current Dawgs not on this list have a shot at playing at the next level.
