Will any Bulldogs get invited to a senior bowl game and/or get drafted in 2018?
Tech has experienced a good run of having players participate in the various senior bowls at the end of the season, having players drafted, and having players make NFL rosters as free agents. I'm not hearing any player names thrown out there this year as being projected to play at the next level. Am I just not listening to the right sources, or is this going to be a down year for NFL talent amongst the senior players?

You know we heard chatter last year about Ferguson and some about kraft in the NFL and maybe some others, but not a peep this year. I don't think I heard anyone'e name and the NFL mentioned in the same sentence all year.

Ferguson is a RS Junior so we might hear chatter about him next year. I see Craft is actually on the NFLPA Bowl and Reese's Senior Bowl watch lists, but with his injuries I don't really see him being invited to either. Barnes is also on the NFLPA Bowl watch list, but I don't see him being invited there due to his struggles this year. http://collegiate.nflpa.com/recruiti...wl-watch-list/ https://www.seniorbowl.com/watch-lis...ce=C-USA&s_id= I don't think anyone will be drafted, but a few might get a tryout.

Ferguson will be drafted if he declares.
If not, I think we'll have none this but I can think of 3 likely for the following year:
Ferguson
Dugas
Veal

Outlaw has a real shot
JF if he declares

I wouldn't be so sure (about Ferguson being drafted). Ferguson had a horrible year. He's going to have to play a lot better than he played in 2017 to impress the NFL scouts.

In all fairness, he was double teamed a ton this year.

Truth is, Ferguson was double-teamed some early in the season. But after 3 or 4 games this season, opposing offenses didn't even bother to worry about him. He was MIA. It's just the way it was.

I believe he was injured for most of the year. For most of the year he & #93 played every other series.
In UTSA game he played most of the game and made an impact.

Meh....Ferguson made 24 tackles, 14 assists, and 6 sacks, in 2017. So, he was good for about 2 tackles per game. While I certainly wish him the best, for selfish reasons I'd like to see Ferguson come back to LA Tech in 2018 and have a tremendous year. Maybe he could help us AND improve his draft value significantly with a better 2018.

However, if Ferguson has a big game against SMU in the Frisco Bowl, I'm sure he'll enter the 2018 draft.

After this season, Ferguson better hit the books and come back for his SR season, no doubt about it. The team was bad and he did not have the type of season to declare early for the draft. I agree, he had to have been dealing with some injury. Team will win more games next year, he will play better and get drafted much higher after a normal JF year. Hope he will listen to us experts!
