 |
WR-Michael Crabtree/TT Crabtree should make the biggest impact |
 |
QB-Mark Sanchez/USC Sanchez may be the steal of this draft |
 |
RB-Knowshon Moreno/UGA Knowshon doesn't need to be a "no show" |
 |
RB-LeSean McCoy/PIT LeSean could really be the "LeReal McCoy" |
 |
RB-Chris "Beanie" Wells/OSU Beanie need not be a weenie at the next level |
 |
RB-Donald Brown/UCN See what Brown can do for you |
 |
WR-Percy Harvin/UF Harvin can be another human highlight film |
 |
WR- Jeremy Maclin/MIZ Maclin could have a big impact next season |

WR-Hakeem Nicks/UNC Nicks can do tricks at the wideout position |
 |
TE-Brandon Pettigrew/OSU Pettigrew is the best tight end in the draft |
 |
RB-Glen Coffee/ALA Coffee will be a grinder at the next level |
 |
RB-Javon Ringer/MSU Javon will be a "Ringer" next season regardless |
 |
RB-Mike Goodson/A&M Plenty of speed with the swift Goodson |
 |
RB-Jeremiah Johnson/ORE The mountain man is a man of a mountain |
 |
RB-Devin Moore/WYO This cowboy should be ready for the rodeo |

 |
RB-Gartrell Johnson/CSU This guy looked awfully good in their bowl |
 |
WR-Kenny Britt/RUT Britt will be a great big target for some QB |
 |
QB-Josh Freeman/KSU Freeman is good, but could take time to grow |
 |
RB-James Davis/CLM Davis could be a diamond in the rough |
 |
WR-Derrick Williams/PSU Williams will be deadly as a returner too |
 |
TE-Jared Cook/SC Cook is the latest of the new breed tight end |
 |
QB-Nate Davis/BS Davis could be the Flacco of this year's draft |
 |
QB-Pat White/WVU White is the most intriguing player in this class |
 |
PK-Graham Gano/FSU Gano will be kicking for somebody in the fall |
 |
RB-Andre Brown/NCS Brown is a burner that hasn't peaked yet |
 |
RB-Cedric Peerman/UVA Peerman could be another steal in this draft |
 |
RB-Tony Fiammetta/SYR The hybrid FB could get plenty of action this fall |
 |
RB-Kory Sheets/PUR His versatility will get him playing time touches |
 |

The versatile Pat White is the most intriguing player in the Pony Draft pool this time around

THE BIG STORY |
The BDFL's annual Rolling Rock Pony Draft is set for the last week in April
FOXBORO
– It will be giddy up and rodeo time in the BDFL come April when
the league will pluck the best ponies from the college football
pen of players in the 2009 Rolling Rock Pony Draft. According
the BDFL's media experts, leading the list of early star-studded
stallions in this year's stable include: WR-Michael Crabtree
from Texas Tech, QB-Matt Stafford and RB-Knowshon Moreon from
Georgia and RB-Beanie Wells and WR-Brian Robiskie from Ohio
State. Some big time sleepers in this year's crop could be
RB-Rashad Jennings from Liberty and RB-Javon "The" Ringer from
Michigan State. The Pony Draft order will follow last year's
standings in reverse order. Others that could be drafted in late
April in "The Pony" and have a big impact in the
BDFL could be QB-Mark Sanchez/USC, WR-Jeremy Maclin/MIZ, RB-LeSean McCoy/PIT WR-Percy
Harvin/UF, WR-Kenny Britt/RUT or RB-Donald Brown/UCN.
The Pony Draft
Never underestimate the potential of the Pony Draft
By Mel Kiper, Jr.
FOXBORO
- Just like a smooth tasting Rolling Rock Beer, the BDFL's Rolling
Rock Pony Draft can be very satisfying, especially when the fall
rolls around. Just ask the Juggernauts what Adrian Peterson
meant to their team in 2007, or what Steve Slaton and Chris Johnson
meant to the Wizards and Wooden Warriors last season. "The Pony", as
it is referred to by the draft insiders, is where a BDFL team can
get better before the Genuine Draft ever takes place, but does take
a little work and some keen insight. The key is in projecting a
player's value in the league for next season. Who will be this year's
difference makers? What's Stafford's upside? Will Crabtree go to the right system for him to
flourish? Who will be the big
surprise? These questions and others will take their first steps to
being answered when the BDFL rolls out the red carpet the last week of
April. I really like a couple of long shots to come up big next
season. If you're looking to roll the dice, go with Ringer, Goodson,
Jennings, Britt or Johnson. So Pony Up! Get ready for another fun filled
adventure known as the Rolling Rock Pony Draft!

The BDFL News
Same rules as last year for the 2009 Pony Draft
FOXBORO - The 2009 Rolling Rock Pony Draft will once again start with each team submitting their top five picks in order. From this list the Commissioner, Iron Hand, will jump start the draft with at least five picks and hopefully more. If you do not submit your "Top 5" list by the deadline TBA, then you will be skipped from the entire draft and you can add a Pony pick once the entire draft has been completed. If you submit your "Top 5" list and all five of your players are picked by your actual selection slot in the draft, you will be emailed and asked to select a player in a timely fashion that has not been selected. More information available on a need be basis.
Best of the Rest
This is where the next big surprise could come from like last year's Matt Forte, Eddie Royal, Tashard Choice or Donnie Avery.
