The NFL Draft Preview; Irish Style


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. 

DaVaris Daniels
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.
Cam McDaniel

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.
