Three Cats show up among the top players for their positions in CBS's draft rankings (as produced by NFLDraftScout.com):

LaVon Brazill is listed as 30th among WRs, Noah Keller is 28th among ILBs and Joe Flading is 44th among OTs.  Only Brazill is forecast as a draft pick (6th or 7th round) or undrafted free agent.

Others:
Strum 81 of 221 offensive tackles
Harden 81 of 177 running backs
Dunlop 181 of 343 wide receivers

For next year, the preliminary results have even more Bobcats on the lists. With a good season, perhaps we could see one of these drafted next year:
Weller is 9th kicker
Thompson is the #23 TE
Scott is #48 DE
Lewis is the #48 OLB
Carrie is the #53 CB
Huynh is the #52 DT
Herman is #28 OG
Carlotta is #51 OG
Bussey is 115 WR
Allen is the #27 OC

Dunlop is ridiculously underrated. He is going to make a GM somewhere look like a genius once he gets a free agent chance.

Totally agree with this!  He is going to be fun to watch on Sundays!

Assuming that LaVon Brazill gets a clean bill of health after his surgery, I predict he'll go a lot higher than a sixth or seventh round draft pick.  Some smart GM is going to surprise folks the way they did with Mitchell.   Remember how stunned the pundits were when he was picked?  At least in the LaVon's case he's been mentioned a little so it won't be quite the same level of surprise, but I think it'll be a stunner nonetheless.

Both of you took the words right out of my mouth.  The bottom line with Riley is "He Makes Plays".

To me, he is simply a taller version of Wes Welker!

Combine stats are nice, but the bottom line are things like knowing how to break off the route based on the defense and making the catch!

I see Brazil joining other Bobcats in the NFL, along with Noah Keller. I just feel that Flading will get a long shot along with Dunlop. Strum and Harden I dont think have much to offer NFL wise, but I do wish them all the best and I hope they all make it.
