Consensus Draft Services (CDS) has him their 38th ranked player, which would make him a solid second rounder... NFL Draft Scout has him rated the lowest of any draft site I've found, at 56th, which again would be a second rounder... Walter's Football Site's Mock Draft has Sweed going at pick 39...

Sweed's average draft position on those 6 websites is 31.3, which is late first round range... I'd suggest it's only that low because of the wrist injury that ended his season about midway through, and if he runs well at the combine or at his Pro Day workout, his draft stock will only improve...



[View Full Quote]I'm a Horns fan, and even I think that Okam is an overrated underachiever... once again, though, your prediction doesn't exactly reflect a consensus among the draft gurus online, as three of the six draft websites I've cited here have Frank going in the late first round-- NFL Draft Countdown has him 26th, Football's Future has him 27th, Walter's Football Site has him 26th...

At this point, I feel safe in predicting that both Sweed and Okam will come off the board somewhere between picks 20 and 40... I believe that Sweed will eventually live up to that draft grade, while Okam will not...

That's 6 out of the what, 1000s of draft websites on the net. Neither player will be a first round pick, jmo. I have nothing against either player, and wouldn't mind us drafting Okam in the 2nd, I just don't think either player is good enough to go that high.
