Who on the team will get drafted and what round?
I'm sure this has been done before, but...
im curious to see people's predictions on who on the current roster will get drafted and where in the draft they will go.
Here's my go at it:
Martin - Early 2nd
Van Bergen - 6th round
Roh - 5th round
Mouton - 5th round (only because of measureables)
Denard - early 3rd
Tate - 7th
Stonum - 3rd
Lewan - 1st (top 15)
Schilling - 3rd
Molk - 3rd
Omameh - 4th
Koger - 7th
Denard is a really hard one to predict. If not for the recent successes of Vick and Vince Young, I would have said 5 round. However at this point, teams might be more open to quarterbacks in that mold. On the other hand, a team might take him with the plans to convert him to reciever.

David Cone, #1 overall.

Only 12 guys? That's pretty pessimistic of the OP. I think Tate goes early in the 1st. He's a prototypical NFL QB. Short, light, and no arm.

Martin - 4th (there are a lot of "truer" nose tackles out there, 3-4 DEs usually don't go so high, he's damn good, but a lot of DTs are)
Van Bergen - undrafted FA (picked up as a 3-4 DE then probably cut, just isn't athletic enough and doesn't make enough plays, though could potentially be solid against the run)
Roh - 5th round (I'll agree 5th round unless they move him back to DE, in which case I think 4th round probably as it suits him more. His experiment at LB isn't helping him out with the 3-4 OLB in the NFL though)
Mouton - 7th round (someone will take a flyer on him)
Denard - 3rd
Tate - Undrafted
Stonum - Undrafted (Stonum is a good college player, but I really don't think he has put up production to be an NFL WR, especially because a lot of small school WR tend to get drafted)
Lewan - 1st-2nd (needs to quit making dumb mistakes, but he is only a freshman)
Schilling - 4th
Molk - 6th (centers don't tend to go so high and he has injury problems. 7th is a high point, if he keeps getting injured he could go undrafted. He is a very good college center, but only a handful of centers get drafted each year, and if there are injury concerns, he won't be one of them.)
Omameh - 7th (again, not many pure guards taken, as many tackles slide in to guard. I think Omameh has been great in this offense, but if he wants to play guard in the league he needs to prove he can take on elite DTs).
Koger - Undrafted (a real shame sense I believe he is one of the more talented players on the team)
Shaw - undrafted (too Carlos Brown-esk for the NFL)
Hemingway - undrafted (whoever said Hemingway was getting drafted has some serious maize and blue glasses on. He has been good this year, but no one is taking a flyer on a 3rd best WR from a team that has decent WR production and a guy that has been injured every year ever)
A lot of these guys have the potential to be really good college players, but there is that in abundance all across the college game. The parody and depth that a lot of these teams have makes it very difficult for players to get drafted in the positions you're expecting. I like your optimism, but don't agree with where you're placing these players in such a selective draft.
