If you believe mock drafts, Sam Bradford probably is trading in Norman, OK for Detroit, MI, but the decision isn't official by any means. Let's just assume Bradford goes, but everyone else in college returns. Yay speculation! Even though Tim Tebow is a warrior—can you call the dude the greatest college football player ever? You may be able to—we'd have Colt McCoy as No. 1 for the Heisman right now. (Pencil in Texas to lose their bowl game next year!) Did ya see the Fiesta Bowl? He might complete 90 percent of his passes next year! We'd have Tebow at No. 2. If Terrelle Pryor spends the summer learning how to pass—or if Tressel makes him a receiver with this Taj Boyd kid coming in—we'd have him at No. 3. Top-flight receivers like Michael Crabtree (he could go) and Julio Jones are around the No. 4 slot (sleeper: AJ Green of Georgia). Who else ya got?
