NFL Draft class is a bit of 'tweener, one top-heavy with potential top-10 picks but potentially light on total numbers. This might be the leanest Penn State draft class since 2000, with as few as five Nittany Lions projected in the field.

These former Nittany Lions should have their names called in the NFL Draft this week. But how soon will they hear it?

The Tennessee Titans are expected to draft Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first pick before the drama begins. The Cleveland Browns have the second pick, followed by the New York Giants and New England Patriots. It seems certain that Carter will not slip past the Patriots.
