There is a lot of talk around this year's NFL draft, just
not much that includes Notre Dame. There
are not many Irish players leaving South Bend to begin with and those that are
may find themselves on and NFL roster (or practice squad) via free agency.

Each year ESPN has a pretty comprehensive list of colleges
and their prospects. This year's list
for the Irish is unique to say the least: Danny Spond, who hasn't played in two
years and because of medical issues won't be playing in the future. DaVaris Daniels, who was suspended last
season and chose not to return. Cody
Riggs, arguably one of the best Irish players in this draft was a fifth year
transfer only at Notre Dame for one year.

There will be no Irish players selected in the first round
to be sure however don't expect Notre Dame to be blanked during this year's
draft. DaVaris Daniels should make a
decent NFL receiver and expect him to go somewhere after the 4h round. After
Daniels Cody Riggs might be the Irish's best bet to be drafted. I wouldn't be overly surprised to hear Ben
Koyack's name called by a team looking for a tight end with good hands. Christian Lombard and Kyle Brindza will likely
sign free agent contracts as soon as the draft is over. Cam McDaniel and Austin Collinsworth will be
invited to camps, with Cam possibly making a team.
