CORAL GABLES – ESPN NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay said he wouldn't be shocked to see as many as nine former Miami Hurricanes players selected next week, but "a safe bet" is seven.

McShay said on a conference call Tuesday he expects running back Lamar Miller, receivers Tommy Streeter and Travis Benjamin, linebacker Sean Spence, offensive lineman Brandon Washington, defensive tackle Marcus Forston and defensive end Olivier Vernon to be drafted.

He described defensive end Adewale Ojomo and defensive tackle Micanor Regis as "on the fringe," and listed receiver LaRon Byrd and tight end Chase Ford as "sleepers" late in the seven-round draft.

Miller is projected to be the first 'Canes player taken. McShay said on-air Tuesday that Miller would be a "steal" for the Denver Broncos at No. 57. Later, on the conference call, he noted, "Olivier Vernon of all those guys after Miller is most intriguing to me. … I think he's a better player than maybe the perception [of him]."

McShay said the 6-foot-2, 262-pound Vernon can play both end and outside linebacker in the NFL.

"He has some stiffness, there's no question," McShay noted. "He's not a great athlete and his production didn't always match up [to his talent]. And I've heard some things. Is he mature enough?

"But if he his focused and doing all the right things and working and 100 percent dedicated to football, he's well-built, solid, strong, shows some quickness off the line and he has a chance to make an impact as a pass rusher at the next level."

McShay said "there's a strong chance" Streeter will be drafted in the third or fourth round, but he personally would have a hard time drafting him in the first four rounds.

"There's a lot of interest because of his height, weight and speed and certainly he's a great athlete. He has more potential than we've seen him do at Miami," McShay said. "But the tape just doesn't match up with what I see."

McShay said he doubts quarterback Jacory Harris will be drafted at all.

"He showed some flashes this past year. I thought he would be better this past year, but the inconsistency jumps out," McShay said, citing turnovers. He added that there are concerns from NFL teams about Harris' durability because of his relatively thin frame.

"But he has enough arm talent, so it's not to say he won't one day land on a roster if he's able to continue to develop somehow. It's just tough to develop as a quarterback. There's nowhere to really go and get good from this point on."

When he steps on the field for the East-West Shrine Game on Saturday, January 21 in St. Petersburg, Florida, Miami Hurricanes defensive lineman Micanor Regis will be playing to impress NFL scouts, as well as show them that he's more than the ugly incident they probably know him for.

Back in October, Regis was suspended for one game after he punched a North Carolina player in the groin. The incident was caught on video and spread like wildfire on the Internet, branding Regis with the dreaded thug label.

It's a label that is front and center for Regis now.

"It's the first thing that comes up," the Pahokee native said Wednesday after practicing with the East team in preparation for Saturday's East-West Shrine Game. "I didn't have an interception or a touchdown or anything (this season), so that's the only thing that comes up. It's on the third and fourth page too."

Regis can do a lot to shake loose the label by performing well in the Shrine game and NFL Combine. At the end of the day, there are players with reputations at lot worse than him currently in the NFL.

Eye-opening moment: Micanor Regis (6-3, 324), DT, Miami (Fla.)

Regis jolted Mississippi center Quentin Saulsberry backward, drove into the backfield and hit Southern Miss quarterback Austin Davis as the pass was thrown, which led to an interception by linebacker Josh Linam.
