2008 NFL Draft Good Decision: Michael Oher, LT, Ole Miss, Turns Pro

A look at the 2007 junior class as players decide whether to enter the 2008 NFL draft.

If you know who University of Mississippi left tackle Michael Oher is, you've probably read The Blind Side. If you don't know who he is, you should read The Blind Side. Or at the very least, watch this video:

Oher, a three-year starter, has decided to declare for the 2008 NFL draft, rather than return for his senior season. I think it's the right move. He was a raw talent when he first arrived at Ole Miss, but that talent has been developed to the point where he's ready to take his game to the next level.

Listed at 6-foot-6 and 322 pounds, Oher has had an NFL body since he was a teenager, and although I still think he needs to work on his technique in pass blocking, a good NFL offensive line coach can get him ready to start as a rookie. He's a rare athlete, and I think he'll be a first-round pick.
