All I want is for him to go to a decent organization. That leads to a successful career as much as anything else IMO, and it makes it much more fun to cheer for.
NFL: ***2022 NFL Draft Thread***
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
I meant drafted at all, not drafted first round.
If they keep taking wrs like this they’ll have a ton that seem like lesser players to my untrained eye.
It will end when we fix the offensive line.
Frankly, Penning owned him when they matched up so I have a hard time thinking McDonald is a first round guy.
The sack that he got in that game was McElvain rolling directly into his arms.
There's no doubt he's an NFL guy but I don't see the first round.
Maybe we need to start looking over at EIU and who they are taking on the O line, or maybe even UNI. For EIU they love kids that wrestle and a good at it, that have the size to grow into an O lineman.
Take the kid that plays at 225 and is 6'3 in high school, thinking he will grow and put on weight, but is athletic and can move as opposed to the bigger high school kids that have the size but are limited in talent or skill.
Thibedeaux was a non factor in our bowl game against Oregon and he went 5th. **** off
I dont understand the NFL hatred towards RBs. When the good ones light up the scoreboard on sundays they sure care. Last time I checked, in order to win a game you need to score more points than the opponent.
A good RB will score more TDS than most WRs.
A good RB will score more TDS than most WRs.
I hate to say it, but it probably won't happen. Jets have the 35th and 38th pick. Texans have the 37th...Atlanta picks at 43..Philly has the 51st pick which would probably be his best bet, but I don't see how he escapes the Jets at the 38th selection..
We can recruit the latter guys but we have a coach that frankly doesn’t seem very good at developing them
He's a UNI fan. That's his rationale. Penning is good, but didn't OWN McDonald.
I get it, teams don't rush as much as they used to anymore and RBs these days have a short shelf life regardless. There's also a lesser impact (if not absence of) "bellcow" RBs in the modern game with more and more teams using a variety of rotations at the position. RBs just aren't a great use of first-round draft capital anymore.
You think not getting a first round draft pick in the last 40 years doesn’t reflect badly on the program, and doesn’t hurt our ability to recruit? GTFO
The Jets traded some of those, They only have 38 left in the 2nd from what I see.
Why didn’t the pats trade back their pick. No one was taking the Chattanooga dude. Horrible job by them.
It’s kind of like us being successful in basketball over the last 12 years. Plenty of teams with less success have made it to elite 8s and final 4s. And we haven’t. But we’ve been very successful over that time period.
