TEXAS senior outside linebacker DERRICK JOHNSON, who is considered a sure-fire Top-10 choice by most outlets, does not get the same full ringing endorsement by all 32 NFL teams... \"(I\'m) still waiting to see him get off a block on these (college) tapes\", said one position coach... \"If you take away those ESPN highlights than there is very little else to see in terms of big plays out of this guy (Johnson)\", explained one area scout... so while there is still a high percentage of teams that have him rated highly... a small minority does not even consider him a first round prospect.

Sleeper on the radar
The biggest sleeper of the entire NFL Draft 2005 is defensive lineman Marcus White of Murray State.
