The NFL will hold its 2007 draft on Saturday at high noon in New York (11 a.m. in Jacktown). ESPN and the NFL Network will televise the proceedings. Ole Miss All-Everything linebacker Patrick Willis figures to be the top Mississippian taken in the draft. The Sports Illustrated and Associated Press mock drafts have Willis going 12th to the Buffalo Bills. But don't be surprised if he goes a spot or two earlier. Yes, he's that good. Too bad the Dem Dang Saints were so good last year that they probably won't get a shot at Willis. That's the price of success.
