CBS sports writer Kyle Boone, who I really like, has him 5. Definitely higher than anyone else I have seen thus far. I figured two years was a stretch for him, but was hoping.

I like this projection piece for 2 reasons.The obvious reason is that another Bear will be drafted in the first round.The other is that the vast majority of the first round picks will come from NCAA institutions that we will be able to watch this season.

It's silly to make guesses this early but it is kinda fun. It's great to think Baylor will have another lottery pick. It's also good to see the B12 well represented.
