NFL Draft '07: Scouting North Carolina

Posted Jul 30, 2006

The Tar Heels were a single victory away from a post-season invitation last year, though the team suffered several blowout losses in ‘05. Not since a pair of North Carolina defensive lineman were selected during the initial six selections of the ’02 draft has a Tar Heel player been chosen during the draft's first day. The team has trio of skill players to keep an eye on, starting with a pair of running backs. (The NFL Experts)
