PSU prospects absent from CFN top 250

Very interesting list up on CFN (I know, I'm really harping on them lately) today, going over which players have a shot at the 2009 NFL Draft. Sure, there are names on there we as PSU fans expect to see, like Maurice Evans and Sean Lee. However, some names are on the list you wouldn't expect to see, and other that you would expect to see, aren't.

Here are the players who made the list:

239. Andrew Quarless - My guess is that his physical measurements will land him a free agent contract somewhere. But unless he turns his act around, he won't go anywhere.

218. AQ Shipley - This is really low, but not as low as you'd think. Pure centers rarely go high in the draft. Guards and tackles are where it's at these days.

113. Sean Lee - I still say, not bad for a guy who blew up his ACL and won't play for a full season.

22. Maurice Evans - I hope this isn't an early sign he's going to bolt early. My guess is that he'll stay an extra year and shoot up to a top-5 pick.

Now let's take a look at those who are not on this list:

Derrick Williams - This one baffles me. I know he hasn't lived up to the hype and win Heismans, but he's still fast and is a good wide receiver and returner. He just wasn't used correctly since 2005. He should at least be a 7th rounder.

Deon Butler - Another odd exclusion, he easily warrants a free agent spot, or a very late pick in the draft. He has good hands, is very tough, and will always play without saying boo.

Gerald Cadogan - This is sort of hit or miss. He's a good left tackle, and 2008 will go a long way in determining where he'll go--if at all--in the 2009 draft. If the line is as good as we think it will be, he could use that to boost his stock.

Anthony Scirrotto - With some of the names thrown into this list, I'm very surprised that he didn't get a spot somewhere in the 4th or 5th rounds. He's a monster hitter and has a knack for picking off passes just when your team needs it.

I know, where's Norwood, Sales, etc. Well, I'm just going on what the pro scouts might think. Although anything's possible between now and April, the chances are slim those guys will get picked up.
