Bryant is projected to be a top 15 NFL Draft pick and John Outlaw, Bryant’s high school coach at Lufkin (Texas) High School, said the All-American receiver is planning to declare for the 2010 NFL Draft on Thursday.

"You have no choice if you’re Dez Bryant,” draft guru Mel Kiper said in a video on ESPN.com. "It’s Dez Bryant and everybody else. The other receivers haven’t stepped up. I still think he’s the first receiver taken, I still think he has the chance to go in the top 10.”

Fellow ESPN NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay agreed with Kiper.

"I think he’s just as good if not better than Michael Crabtree,” McShay said. "He’ll be the first receiver off the board. I hope the NCAA is happy, they were able to flex their muscles, ultimately they’re ending his career. I hope they’re happy because it just doesn’t make sense to me.”

Right Don, if he would have lied about it a fourth time, the NCAA probably would have been justified in seeking an execution order. Bryant is at fault, but the NCAA lacks institutional control.

Bottom line is do not talk to people who are partners w agents period and
then lie about it,that is a definite violation of NCAA rules.
NCAA not at fault here,Dez Bryant is.
