I know this is very similar to the post I previously posted but thought someone would enjoy reading Cecil Hurt
It’s possible that Thursday night’s National Football League Draft will be the final chapter in what has been the most improbable year ever in the history of the Alabama-Auburn series.
It won’t necessarily have the importance of Auburn’s 2010 duplication of Alabama’s 2009 BCS Championship/Heisman Trophy season. It won’t have the impact of the Tigers’ historic comeback for a one-point win at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
But if one accepts the consensus of what seems to be 10 million ‘mock’ NFL drafts floating around (at least 1 million of which are generated by Mel Kiper, who must update his ESPN ‘Big Board’ at least once every 90 seconds), then Auburn might just edge Alabama once again. That’s because Kiper, and lots of others, are guessing that AU quarterback Cam Newton will go with the No. 1 pick to Carolina - and Denver, with the No. 2 pick, will follow by choosing Crimson Tide defensive end Marcell Dareus.
