Q: Do you see tailback Evan Royster and outside linebacker Navorro Bowman entering the NFL draft after this year, or staying for next season? If they do go, what kind of career do you see them having in the NFL?

Nathan Perkins, Nashville, Tenn.

MUSSELMAN: I think you should get a good look at Bowman and Royster during Saturday's home game against Indiana. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if both underclassmen were playing their final games at Beaver Stadium, along with the other 18 seniors. Todd McShay from ESPN and Scouts Inc., ranks Bowman as the 13th-best player in college football and Royster as the 50th-best. At this point, I think Bowman is ready to move to the NFL, just as defensive end Aaron Maybin did a year ago, and I think he will do well. I'm not so sure about the oft-injured Royster. I think he should at least consider returning for his final season.
