Jeremy Maclin Zone

November 6th, 2008 by Maclin Zone

On Monday, Missouri standout WR/KR Jeremy Maclin was quoted as saying “Any sophomore or junior who leaves early and doesn’t go in the first round, that’s not a very smart decision. If you can’t refine your game this last year or two years to get to that point, I don’t understand what the point is.” Now, Jeremy is a redshirt sophomore, so even though this is only his second season on the field, it is his 3rd season out of high school… thus making him eligible for the NFL Draft.

The question is… will Jeremy be a first round pick? Based on the above quote, we’d have to assume that he will return to Missouri if he isn’t. Maclin is currently ranked No. 7 overall by Scouts Inc.’s Top 32 list on ESPN.com. NFLdraftdog.com projects Maclin as the 27th pick of the first round and FootballFutures.com has him as the 13th pick.

Those are all pretty good indications that he will be a first round pick. Maclin is very similar to Ted Ginn Jr. a few years ago. Ginn even busted his ankle up in the final game of the year and was still a first round pick. Plus with Chase Daniel leaving, there’s no telling what will happen to Mizzou next year.

All my money is on Jeremy heading to the pros.
