It's April and the time is upon us once more. The Combine has been held and teams are getting ready for OTA's and training camps but in between is the crap shoot that is the NFL Draft. Teams have measured,prodded and analyzed as best they can and are getting ready to select and invest a lot of money in several young men fresh from the college level. As has been the case recently, there are a number of young draft studs with African heritage that are preparing to hear their names called at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday and Sunday. Here are the names you'll want to get familiar with if you haven't already.
1.B.J. Raji- Boston College Defensive Lineman. The 6-2,337 lb Raji projects to be drafted as high as #5 but most likely somewhere in the top 10.
2.Brian Orakpo-UT EX. The former Longhorn is a hybrid Defensive End/Linebacker and his play last season before his injury contributed to his high draft status. Look for Orakpo to go in the top 12.
3.Pannel Egboh-The big Defensive End from Stanford is a projected 6th rounder.
4.Cyril Obiozor-Texas A&M Defensive End. Obiozor visited with several teams and is projected to be a 7th rounder.
5.Wopamo Osaisai-Stanford Cornerback with great speed. Osaisai will be a late round pick.
6.Chris Ogbonnaya-UT Running back will probably be a free agent signing after the draft.
7.Uche Anyanwu-Safety from Nevada.
8.Leyon Azubuike-Temple Defensive End.
9.Ataefiok Etukeren-Georgetown Defensive End.
10.Obozua Ehikioya-Running back from IAA Marist.
11.Moise Fokou-Cameroonian Linebacker played at University of Maryland.
12.Oghogho(OG)Igbinosun-Marist Linebacker.
13.Raphael Nguti-Offensive tackle from U.of Albany.
