Obi Melifonwu and Noel Thomas

[FASTEDDY]

Anyone have any info on where Obi and Noel are projected in the draft?

I know its super early but am curious if they are upper round guys or perceived as fortunate to even be drafted.

According to CBS Sports draft analysis, Obi is rated the #7 Strong Safety and projects 5th/6th round. Thomas is rated the 60th WR and will go undrafted.

Some other UConn players that you didn't mention:

Knappe: #20 OT, projects 7th round.
Levy: #33 OT, projects not drafted.
Jhavon Williams: #58 CB, projects not drafted.

I don't doubt that the CBS sports projects this but it is a bit ridiculous to think Knappe's draft prospects are better than Thomas'.

Have to wait until after the combine.

The fact that UConn has 2 of the top 33 OTs demeans the whole rating system.

If there were only 17 teams I could accept that as valid, as that is not the case............
