North Carolina Football Association (NCFA)

Wilson:
The Tobs improved from their league worst performance in 2007, but fans and management alike weren't happy with the final result.  Machu will need to make some big changes this year to keep his job and probably won't be looking very hard at the rookie draft for any immediate help.  His focus will more likely be on the supplemental draft and taking a close look at standouts from NCFA2.  

Under Machu Derrick Smith (51.1% for 1,882yds 9TDs and 9Ints) and the passing game have struggled.  This is partly due to a struggling offensive line and so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Tobs taking a hard look at the solid offensive linemen from NCFA2 or looking around the league for a trade.  

They also feel the need for some help at the middle linebacker spot.  They have a good bunch at linebacker, but they miss Anthony Mitkiff's ability to shut down a play up the middle.

It's hard to know what direction they will be leaning in their first round pick.  Like most teams they will be looking for some potential future stars.  If any of the big talent players like Reginald Oneill, Joe Wirth, and Matthew Bates are left they will probably be snatched up.
