The Georgia Bulldogs offense for next year may take a bigger hit than any opposing defense could level on them. Stars QB Matthew Stafford and RB Knowshon Moreno are expected to announce today that they are entering the upcoming NFL Draft. Stafford and Moreno lead the SEC in passing and rushing this year and were a big reason that UGA recieved a preseason #1 ranking. Stafford becomes the odds-on favorite to be the overall #1 pick by the Detroit Lions and Moreno is expected to be one of the first two RBs selected and the top RB if Ohio State's Beanie Wells decides to remain in school.

ATHENS, Ga. -- Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno are leaving Georgia for the 2009 NFL Draft.
Stafford, a junior, returned to campus from his family's home in Dallas on Wednesday to make the announcement. Moreno, a third-year sophomore, made the trip from Belford, N.J.
Georgia coach Mark Richt joined the two at a news conference.
Stafford and Oklahoma's Sam Bradford might be the two top quarterbacks in the draft, assuming Bradford also declares early. The Detroit Lions have the No. 1 pick and might take a quarterback.
Moreno had 1,400 rushing yards with 16 touchdowns this season to join Herschel Walker as the only players in Georgia history with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

I am glad to see both of them leave. I think that Stafford will be great in the NFL and I think he will go #1 to the Lions. I don't Noshow will be good in the NFL. I give him 2-3 seasons before he is considered a bust.
