A look at the 2007 junior class as players decide whether to enter the 2008 NFL draft.The brother of Kansas cornerback Aqib Talib says Talib decided to turn pro after the NFL Draft Advisory Board told him that he'd likely be a second-round draft pick.
I find that shocking. I'll be absolutely amazed if Talib lasts until the second round of this year's draft. Talib is a phenomenal athlete who can contribute immediately to an NFL team and could eventually develop into a shutdown cornerback.
There may be some concerns about Talib's mental approach to the game (it seems like you can't read an article about him without learning that he was "immature" when he arrived at Kansas), but he's going to be an excellent NFL player, and he doesn't need another year of college.

1. I hope the Giants get him. They could use a corner to go with Ross. The two of them could become like Cris McAllistar and Samari Rolle in Baltimore.
