POLL OF THE DAY

Who do you think will be CU's highest NFL Draft pick next April?

Wide receiver Danny Scudero. After leading the nation in receiving yards (1,291), Scudero brings his talent to the Power Four and the Go-Go offense. He'll have a big season
Defensive back Boo Carter. Not sure why things didn't work out at Tennessee, but the former five-star recruit seems to have his head on straight, and is playing with a chip on his shoulder
Wide receiver Omarion Miller ... Oh, I can't take a transfer? All I care about right now is that CU has draft-worthy talent on the roster, so CU won't be shut out of the Draft again next April
