NEW YORK -- Andrew Luck knows exactly where hes heading, and so does Robert Griffin III. For the rest of the college stars preparing for the NFL draft Thursday night, the anxiety is building. Nobody is looking forward to the green room at Radio City Music Hall. "It kind of made me a little nervous when we were talking to the commissioner and he said, Youll be back there for an hour and itll feel like youve been back there for five days," Southern California tackle Matt Kalil said. "Ill be sweatin up a storm back there, and I want to have my name called and not have to wait too long." He shouldnt have to worry much about that. Most mock drafts project Kalil to go third overall to Minnesota after Luck heads to Indianapolis and Griffin to Washington. But he knows better than to put much stock in the predraft chatter. "I stopped paying attention to all of that stuff," said Kalil, attending an NFL event at a playground in Manhattan. "No one really has a clue. Unless youre the GM of a team, you dont really know who a team is going to pick, so you just let it all play out." Thats the approach for the nearly two dozen other players wholl be at Radio City and have no idea when they might walk onto the stage, shake Commissioner Roger Goodells hand and hold up the jersey of the team with which theyll start their professional career. "For Luck and RGIII, they know whats going on and they know where theyre going to live and all that kind of stuff," Alabama safety Mark Barron said. "A lot of us other guys, were still wondering where were going to be living for the next however many years." Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor, is comforted by already knowing hell be a member of the Redskins. But he thinks he might actually miss the draft-day jitters. Well, at least a little bit. "It kind of puts yourself at ease," he said, "but it does kind of rob you of that natural draftee experience where you dont know where youre going and youre in limbo." Added South Carolina defensive end Melvin Ingram: "Yeah, I guess that would be kind of different. You wont get that adrenaline of, Oh, man. I hope they pick me, when you know where youre going." Luck will go No. 1 overall to Indianapolis after a terrific career at Stanford. Like Griffin, he is also expected to step right into a starting job as a rookie. "I guess its nice, but theres always competition in football and if I go out there and lay an egg and Im not the best quarterback out there, I hope they dont start me," Luck said. "Im excited, though. Im going to go out there and hopefully play, obviously, and put my best foot forward and enjoy all the guys." Luck, the son of former NFL quarterback Oliver Luck, acknowledged that it was a "relief" to know hell be going to the Colts -- even if theyre starting from scratch after they released Peyton Manning. "Obviously, the slate has been wiped somewhat clean with some new coaches and some players who have gone or left, but Ill try to come in there and work as hard as I can," Luck said. "If that means its a rebuilding process, I guess you can label it as that. The guys Im sure are working very hard and I just want to get out there and join them." After Luck and Griffin, Texas A&Ms Ryan Tannehill is expected to be the next quarterback taken -- possibly eighth overall by Miami, where hed be reunited with Mike Sherman. The new Dolphins offensive co-ordinator was Tannehills head coach the last four years. "If I did happen to go there, it would be good," said Tannehill, who would compete with starter Matt Moore. "It would give me some familiarity with the offence, so I think it would help ease the transition a little bit." Oklahoma States Justin Blackmon will likely be the first wide receiver picked, possibly as high as No. 4 by Cleveland. Notre Dames Michael Floyd, Georgia Techs Stephen Hill and Baylors Kendall Wright are other receivers who might go in the opening round. "Its a great time to come into the league if you are a receiver," said Blackmon, a two-time winner of the Biletnikoff Award as college footballs top receiver. "More teams are throwing the ball a lot more, its more wide open than ever on offence." Other players who could be top-10 picks are Ingram, Alabama running back Trent Richardson, LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples. After winning the national championship in January, Alabama could be a big winner in the opening round. Crimson Tide teammates Barron, Richardson, linebackers Courtney Upshaw and Donta Hightower, and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick could all hear their names called Thursday night. "This is a great experience, especially when you have a team where we came from," Richardson said. "All these guys are going to the draft and were all going to be in the first round. Alabama set the bar high last year when they had four come out and all four went in the first round. Hopefully we can break that record and have five." cheap jerseys from china .Y. -- Bernhard Langer topped the leaderboard at 7 under when first-round play in the Dicks Sporting Goods Open was suspended because of rain Friday. cheap nfl jerseys .
