Feeling the Draft(s)?

Today's topic: The draft(s).

The NFL Draft schedule: First round tonight at 8 p.m., rounds 2-3 tomorrow at 6 p.m. and rounds 4-7 Saturday at noon. Talk about drawing it out. Yawn. ;-)

A search of ESPN's 2011 draft prospects reveals nine Ivy Leaguers mentioned, with Dartmouth's Charles Bay and Shane Peterlin not among them. Then again, the list includes Princeton linebacker Steve Cody, a 2011 Tiger captain, but does not include Yale fullback Shane Bannon and tight end Chris Blohm, who have both drawn significant NFL interest according to the Portal 31 blog. All that said, here are the Ivy players that ESPN has included on its list of prospects:
HARVARD
RB Gino Gordon
QB Andrew Hatch
OG Charles Osborne
S Collin Zych

PRINCETON
OLB Steve Cody
WR Trey Peacock

YALE
DE Tom McCarthy
S Adam Money
OLB Sean Williams
New Hampshire, by the way, has seven players listed by ESPN. Colgate and Holy Cross each have one one while Bucknell and Sacred Heart have none.
