Should Xavier sit out at TCU

[Williowa]

According Chris and what he heard from NFL scouts on Iowa everywhere today, it certainly seems like X will get drafted, and in the middle rounds too. Who knows though. I actually think Will might go a lot lower than what people might think.

Why?

If I were Xavier...I would sit out the game and get ready for his tryout for the NFL!

Right now it's a business decision. He has earned the right to look to his future. I will support him in whatever he decides and remember him for the good years and great football play he has given us.

Also, no sign of him in any of these mock drafts.

He will be a third day draft pick, if he is lucky. People on this board always seem to overestimate where Iowa State players will go. In fact, I believe I think last year a handful people thought up to 9 of the guys would be drafted. If I’m wrong, I’ll eat crow, but I’m not wrong.

It's not people on this board projecting him, it's sights like ESPN projecting him. Surprise surprise experts have a difference of opinion. And that Walter sight projects him if you go to receiver list as a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

I agree.

I imagine that the scouts are being "friendly" or "nice" and are giving him the best case scenario answer.

About Hutchinson or Will?

About Hutchinson or Will?

Ya, if you're a scout sitting up in the press box and an Iowa State beat writer sits next to you and starts chatting you up in friendly conversation, then starts asking you about ISU players draft prospects...I do believe that most people it that situation will be polite and will lean towards the positive in those situations. You don't?

Edit, I read your question wrong, I read 'and'...The scouts perspective given in JM4CY's post was only about X, the part about Will was JM4CY's opinion.
