2008 NFL Draft Good Decision: Hawaii WR Ryan Grice-Mullen Turns Pro

A look at the 2007 junior class as players decide whether to enter the 2008 NFL draft.

If you're a wide receiver, you need to view the Hawaii football program as a sinking ship right now. With the departure of coach June Jones and quarterback Colt Brennan, there's really no way to know what kind of team, and especially what kind of offense, Hawaii is going to have next year.

So it's no surprise that two Hawaii junior receivers have declared for the 2008 NFL draft. First it was Davone Bess, and now it's Ryan Grice-Mullen, who made his announcement today.

I don't see either one as a great NFL player, but I think Grice-Mullen is a better prospect than Bess. Grice-Mullen has better speed and can probably make a better transition from the Jones attack to a standard NFL offense.

If the situation at Hawaii were different -- if he knew who his quarterback and coach would be -- I might feel differently. But as it stands, Grice-Mullen is making the right decision by turning pro.
