2009 - 1 - 23 - Michael Oher, OT Baltimore
2009 - 1 - 24 - Peria Jerry, DT Atlanta
2009 - 3 - 84 - Mike Wallace, WR Pittsburgh
2009 - 7 - 231 - Jamarca Sanford, S Minnesota
2010 - 2 - 36 - Dexter McCluster, RB-WR Kansas City
2010 - 3 - 73 - John Jerry, OG Miami
2010 - 5 - 136 - Kendrick Lewis, S Kansas City
2010 - 6 - 175 - Greg Hardy, DE Carolina

Add in Snead playing very well in 08, along with Hodge and few other capable WRs.......eh, they'll have to prove that they are better than O's boys. Ole Miss seems to be top heavy to me with not a whole lot of depth.
I looked all that up recently to compare contrast and as talented as 08 was, I think this year's roster has more. I'll give some very loose draft grades to bolster my opinion.

LaQuon Treadwell- lottery pick
Laremy Tunsil- lottery pick
Robert Nkemdiche- 1-3 rd
Tony Conner- 2-5 rd
Aaron Morris- 6-7 rd
Fahn Cooper- 3-5 rd
Cody Prewitt- 3-5 rd
Anthony Alford- 2-5 rd

Then I think all these guys will sign FA deals and get a shot in a camp: Bo Wallace, I'Tavius Mathers, Fadol Brown, Serderius Bryant, Senquez Gholsen, Trae Elston, and Quicny Adeboyejo.

Then there a few guys who I think have NFL potential that haven't played and I don't have any hard info on, most notably Daronte Bouldin. We're not even talking class '14 freshmen...

This is just my opinion and it is debatable but I think I'm on pretty solid ground in saying this is the most talented Ole Miss team ever.
