It’s been announced that Alabama junior linebacker Rolando McClain and Iowa junior cornerback Amari Spievey have both declared for the upcoming 2010 NFL Draft.

McClain is rated as a lock for the first round, if not Top-10, and should be the first linebacker selected in the 2010 draft. He played inside linebacker in the 3-4 in college, which would also be a great fit for him in the NFL. McClain’s combination of athleticism and intelligence will make him a coveted prospect by teams in the NFL.

Spievey is an underrated prospect who was a shutdown cornerback for the Hawkeyes this season. Spievey finished his career with 122 tackles and six interceptions. He rates as a second-to-third round pick.
