You think so? Is it his size? He certainly has the ball skills.
Yea he lacks NFL size and speed IMO. Doesn't have the size to cover bigger receivers and doesn't have the speed to cover the typical slot receiver. JMO..

Understand but are you telling me Bama's players aren't better than what's been picked? Especially considering Bama went against a lot of those players and beat them.
Our team was better. Some of the guys taken already are simply elite dudes that also fill team needs.

That's not how the NFL draft works. It's more about projection than your collegiate production..

It's not always about being a better player. Scheme and need are very important in the draft.

I tend to agree. Against weaker WRs in college, he was dominant. The better WRs in college smoked him.

I'll take that. Heh, meanwhile, Cyrus will probably go late Day 2 and help a team in sooo many ways.

Saw that claim earlier. As someone pointed out, he had a confederate flag on his wall in Florida? Makes more sense in Oxford.
Yeah that is kinda odd, but I'm just relaying what I just saw. In any event it was stupid. If you are doing something you shouldn't... Destroy the evidence.

Guys chill. We're still going to have at least 3 and maybe 4 - Reed, Ragland, Robinson and Kelly..

I think that's what people miss. We view what they in terms of college, but most NFL teams basically hit the reset button on a player and go off of that 2.5 months between the NC and draft day. I think the top 3 are pretty much solely based on college performance and fan opinion though.
