Finish the sentence:

The Next Eastern Eagle Drafted will be _______________

I say Jeremiah Harris.

Sergio Bailey

I'll say Roback. I think Bailey has a better chance of sticking in the league, though.

Roback late-round. I think his pro day numbers really helped him.

I also think Roback. Could be a better quarterback prospect than many here give him credit.

With better health (Roback) and better OL in 2017, EMU could have easily won 8 games and Roback would be the toast of the town.

He has good size, very strong arm and throws the fade. That's enough for me to bring him into a NFL camp for a good look.

Brogan late rounds to the Steelers.

Bailey & Beck UDFA's

I'm not talking being brought into a camp - I mean picked with a Draft pick. I think EMU has zero picks this year and Harris gets picked in the 4th round next year.

Is Harris back to 100 % after the injury?

Rehabbing, hasn't even been 4 months since the injury. No Spring ball, trying to get ready for the summer/1st game. I believe 6-9 months the normal recovery time, plus getting back into game shape/back up to game speed. Would be great if he's able to get back 100% for the 1st game.

Maxx Crosby

Upset alert! Over Shaq Vann, Ian Eriksen, AND Harris?

I'd think Crosby has potential if he can keep his weight up, to say 3 - 4 round.

James Thompson.

Maxx Crosby will lead the MAC in sacks and TFL this season. He's a bonafide 1-3 round draft pick because he has SPEED!! I'm worried he comes out after his junior season.

Vann & Eriksen? Love Eriksen's toughness and he's a nice college player, but highly unlikely even as UDFA. Vann could have big year if he stays healthy, but speed is the issue there. If he has a big year, stays healthy, AND somehow runs sub 4.5 forty, maybe an invite as UDFA.

That being said, really like both as collegians in our backfield!

Brogan is getting drafted this year. If Harris comes back 100%, and puts up 8-10 sacks, he could very well be a late rounder. Definitely has the size and motor. Invites to post season games, combines, and pro days would determine ultimate round. Pass rushers are a premium commodity in the NFL.

If a guy like Joe Ostman from Central gets drafted this year, that would be a great sign for Harris.

Does Eriksen get drafted as an H-Back/ Full Back type?

Agree, but weight could be an issue. If he loses weight like a lot of thin DE-types do, it would hurt him.

Some DTs can't keep weight OFF. Some DEs can't keep weight on.

I bet a lot of DEs like Jason Taylor played at a LOT less weight than listed.

What's the name of our new JUCO DE, who apparently lost a bunch of weight.

We forgot about future New England Patriot Matt Sexton.
