He’s got luxurious and perfectly sculpted hair — and some thoughts about your Trojans heading into the 2009 NFL Draft.

Mark Sanchez – #2 Quarterback in the Draft

Sanchez is definitely one of the top five to eight players available. If he slides to the 10th spot or later, he’ll qualify as a major steal. Had he returned to USC for his final season of collegiate eligibility, Sanchez more than likely would have been the top pick in the 2010 draft.

Rey Maualuga – #1 Inside Linebacker in the Draft

Maualuga has the capability to be a quality mike linebacker in the NFL, but he needs to use his hands better to ward off blocks and maintain more of a consistent performance from week to week. He’s a late-first-round possibility.

Clay Matthews – #2 Outside Linebacker in the Draft

Matthews has enjoyed a monumental rise up the draft board since August. He’s versatile and productive, has tremendous bloodlines and came through with an impressive showing at the combine workout.

Brian Cushing – #3 Outside Linebacker in the Draft

Cushing’s ability to fit at either outside or inside linebacker is the reason I’ve always viewed him as a surefire first-rounder.
