The Green Bay Packers game is still one day away, but on Saturdays here at Railbird Central we give you something to watch today while tying it into the Packers. Consider it a little NFL Draft preview.

Given the Packers' recent injury concerns and sub par play at the safety position, there's reason to think that they'll go after a safety high in the NFL draft this upcoming year.

The Packers have some good, young talent at safety in Nick Collins, Atari Bigby and Aaron Rouse, but none has given the team a level of consistency expected out of them.

One of college's top safeties will be on display today in one of the day's top games. Oregon's Patrick Chung and the Ducks will head into Corvallis today to take on Oregon State. Both teams have a chance to represent the Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.

For Oregon State, it's easy. Win and they're in. For Oregon, the path is a little more muddled. It would take a win over the Beavers in the Civil War today and a USC loss next week to UCLA. It's not a likely scenario, but it's possible.

As far as Chung goes, his job became exponentially easier as the potent Oregon State offense might be without its top quarterback and running back for today's game. The Beavers are possibly missing both Lyle Moevao and Jacquizz Rodgers due to injury.

If Chung can help bottle up the Beaver offense on both the run and the pass, Oregon will have an easier time on the road today. Chung is known as one of the hardest hitters in all of college football.
