Things are starting to heat up in the NFL Draft world. Some players are falling, some are rising. I think Maclin would be on the rising list. It’s being reported by the Kansas City Star that Jeremy Maclin was note invited to the NFL Draft in New York City. Here’s an excerpt from their story:

Missouri wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is fine with the fact that he wasn’t invited to New York City for draft weekend by the NFL.

“I didn’t get invited,” said Maclin, who is projected by many to be a top-10 pick in next weekend’s draft.

“I’m fine with it,” he said. “I’m not tripping off that. I’ve seen as high as sixth and as low as 17. I’ve seen the Raiders quite a bit.”

Maclin seems to be one of the safest WR picks in the draft right now. Crabtree’s foot has been in a boot for a month and Percy Harvin just failed a drug test. I wouldn’t surprise me to see Maclin be the first WR selected this year.
