2. Martin Rucker, Missouri
Rucker isn’t very big nor is he very fast but he’s a very solid football player. He’s the type of player who can come up with the big catch when it’s needed most. He’ll need to get stronger to truly flourish in the NFL, though.

3. John Carlson, Notre Dame
Notre Dame had a disastrous season last year, Carlson was one of the few bright spots. He’s a very heady tight end with good athleticism who would be a safe pick in the draft. His stock could rise depending on his combine results.

4. Martellus Bennett, Texas A&M
Bennett has great size at over 6-foot-7 and 252 pounds. His combination of size and athleticism gives him the chance to be as good as anyone on this list. Keep an eye on him as he could start climbing the draft charts.

5. Jermichael Finley, Texas
Finley has a huge amount of talent but was mysteriously underutilized at the University of Texas. Perhaps some of that was his fault but the offense didn’t seem geared to getting him the ball. However, some team in the NFL will take a chance on him.

1) Darren McFadden, Arkansas
McFadden is a multi-talented running back weapon who should be a top pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Look for him to be a top five pick and start rather quickly into his rookie season. After an explosive season by Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings, McFadden’s stock should be extremely high in fantasy football going into next year.

2) Jonathan Stewart, Oregon
The drop from McFadden to Stewart is a pretty far drop, however Stewart is a solid back. He’s strong and should be a goal line threat beginning in his rookie season. Expect him to be drafted somewhere between 15 and 25.

3) Felix Jones, Arkansas
The other Arkansas back in the draft, Jones is no slouch himself. He might also be drafted in the first round and depending on where he lands, he may see a lot of action in his rookie year.

4) Steve Slaton, West Virginia
Slaton entered the season as a possible top ten draft pick. He didn’t have a hugely successful senior season but it was successful enough that he should be drafted at some point in the first day. With good workouts, he could jump back into the end of the first round.

5) Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois
Mendenhall isn’t a well known player but he’s a player whose stock has risen rather fast this season. Some scouts have him as a top three running back in the draft. Keep an eye on him as he might shoot up draft boards as the draft nears.
