That's the mock draft and not necessarily the team that is going to take them. The Bills are a terrible organization because they keep on recycling bad head coaches and they signed a backup caliber QB to a huge contract to be their starter. I said that Chan Gailey should never have been hired there. He never should get a head job anywhere... except for possibly a mid-major school. The Bills finally got a coach who is a rising candidate instead of a "has been".And that's why the Bills are a terrible organization right now.
I personally think MT is highly overrated, but I don't think it is because he is "small" and "weak"...Someone was on The Zone (or whatever the new sports radio station in Bham is, and he speculated that Teo will find some reason to not participate in the NFL combine, so that they won't discover how small, slow, and weak he is.
I thought we all discovered that Jan 7.
Also, the Browns need to take Warmack to give Trent a little help.
If a kid looks at those numbers why would he want to play anywhere else. In addition, you can see that we develop talent as well, I believe Warmack was a three star guy.Gil Brandt of NFL.com (and Cowboys) has 4 Tide players in the 1st round. If we do have 4 1st round picks which I think will happen it will be 3 years in a row with 4 1st rounders
4 - Warmack
5 - Milliner
13 - Fluker
16 - Lacy
Honestly, I think it stems from the build up to the game and the non stop talk about the front seven, led by MT and how they were SEC quality and MT being a Heisman runner up and the next coming up Dick Butkus. I am sure it played the other way to yall regarding our O line etc etc. I think him looking rather pedestrian against us, plus MT fatigue, has led to a devaluation of his status as one of the top line backers in the nation.I don't understand...the guy had one bad game, literally, in like three years at Notre Dame.
Were people saying these things about Luke Kuechly after he played against horrible competition for years at BC?? No. And Manti is known to be just as good a tackler as Luke, but actually better in pass coverage. I'm not sure that anyone here is an NFL scout.
Most scouts with years of NFL knowledge say that the awards circuit took a lot out of Manti, plus getting a serious bout with the flu the week after he came back. When you train insanely hard for 6 months and then have to work out in hotel gyms for 8 days in a row, then get the flu, it is going to have some short-term effects.
And give 'bama some credit!! Your offense knew our formations, and, according to Barrett, knew what matchups they would face when we would shift. His lack of solid lay was a product of our entire D's inability to stop you. Manti won't go that high, but he is a first rounder: my sources are NFL scouts. I'm just not understanding the hate on the kid. Obviously I am biased; feel free to rip me apart.
This is the most outspoken I have ever been on this board, but I really like it here, so hopefully this doesn't ruin any kind of reputation of respectability that I may have established here.
