Well, this is the big day for graduating senior Jeff Adams and Columbia Lion fans everywhere.
The final rounds of the NFL draft begin at noon Eastern Time.
Adams has been projected to be a 6th round pick by some, 7th by others, and a free agent by still another faction of prognosticators.
I'm not sure what is going to happen today, but I am firmly in the camp that believes that Adams getting drafted, (we'll worry about whether he makes the team later), will be a crucial boost to Columbia's recruiting efforts for years to come.
There have been a few free agent "taxi squad" signings over the years, but the last Columbia player to be drafted was Marcellus Wiley, who became an All Pro.
That was way back in 1997, and that's been too long to wait.
I will try to keep updating the draft situation here and on Twitter, (I'm at @jakejakeny) throughout the day.

Dallas did not waste a moment in signing Adams. Garrett knows the Ivies. Jeff needs to get stronger. His bench presses probably prevented him from being drafted.
