It has been said the Trojans that decided to stay on for their 2007 Senior seasons have improved their draft stock remarkably. It has been said their growth in maturity and skill will make the likes of Ellis, Rivers and Davis millions extra in contract deals. Then there's the footnote: except for Sam Baker. Out of all the Trojans that have risen in the pre-draft rankings, offensive left tackle Sam Baker seems to be the only one that's fallen. That dip is likely due to a hamstring injury that hampered progress his senior season and some slow 40-times clocked at USC's Pro Day. But despite the drop, Stewart Mandel writes on SI.com, Baker is the most underrated o-lineman in the draft.
Let's see here. Baker was the starting left tackle -- most important position on the line -- for the most dominant program in the country for four straight years...Based purely on Baker's college track record, I assumed he would be one of, if not the top, tackle on the board; instead, I see he's barely in the top 10. Baker reportedly did not test well at USC's pro day, which means, of course, that those four years never happened.
Still, Baker's likely to go late-first to early second round. None the less, a drop of millions has got to get to him, right? So does national championship winner and 3X first team, all-American Sam Baker regret coming back for his senior season?

USC Football In case you missed it, Mark Sanchez was named starting quarterback. I relegated this to Hot Links because it wasn't exactly news to anybody except Mitch Mustain.

For two weeks I resisted the constant temptation to say the quarterback competition was a charade although anyone who reads this blog probably figured out what direction the ``derby'' was taking. But it seems foolish to act like anything is up for grabs right now as Mark Sanchez clearly is the No. 1 quarterback. Here's some facts for those...

From just looking at the statistics of Sunday’s football scrimmage, it seems like Mitch Mustain had a much better day at quarterback than Mark Sanchez. After all, he threw for 31 yards more than Sanchez and three touchdowns, while Sanchez didn’t throw any. But if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find that Mustain’s success came against the second-team...
