    Pretty sure he was early to mid 2nd at best last year.

    Bigger fall might be Chase Budinger, who was talked about as a lottery pick after his freshman season,a dn is now looking atthe possibility of sliding out of the first round.

    Yeah, not sure what mocks you were looking at but most of the big draft sites have had him in the mid-2nd since he was a blip on ppl's radar.

    Gotta agree with everyone who said he'd be a mid second rounder last year. His stock took a hit at the five-on-five scrimmages last year in the Orlando pre-draft camp, and he withdrew his name because he couldn't get a first round guarantee.

    If Hudson really had been slotted as a mid first rounder he would have taken it and run last year.
