Brent Sobleski says no less than eight teams are prepared to take Tavon Austin in the first round.

As with everything you hear over the next few days, take this with a grain of salt. The source could be Austin trying to entice teams to take him really early.
Maybe there is a chance Austin does not even make it to the ninth pick. He profiles to potentially become a game breaking player, the kind who can create monster gains any time he touches it. He could be the kind of guy who opens up things for other players because you can move around who the defense always has to account for. Those are valuable in the NFL.
