Game Thread: 2012 NFL Draft Thread

VERY cool fact about Arkansas receivers Greg Childs & Jarius Wright. They played together in high school. They, of course, played together at Arkansas. And they were both just drafted in the 4th rd today by the Minnesota Vikings. I wish them both the best of luck.

thats pretty neat. on another note, if only the Vikings had a QB

If I'm reading the board right, it looks like Samford has as many players drafted as Auburn.

Ha!

Brandon Moseley in the 4th I think.

Brandon Moseley in the 4th I think.

Yeah - he was their only senior lineman and a pretty good player.

I realize AU didn't have a big senior class, but does anyone have the numbers? Trying to get a handle on their player development, which seems to have been nonexistent during the Chizik years.

Chiznit says they are young..he was probably the only one .. and they only have one starting this year to....... but the 2011 rosters shows 18

Not looking good for any of our guys. Free agency for the lot, I suspect.

Reckon Trent told them "I sure do like running behind Brad's blocks"?

and now to wait and see where our guys go via free agency....

Welp, draft is over. Too bad for Maze. I expected him to go in the draft. But MAN, 8 players from Alabama. Not. Bad.

Anyone know the numbers? Who's leading?

[bamacon]

Proud of Brad. That was a really cool way to end the draft. I hope he can make the squad. Way to go guys. Best of luck with your new teams and good luck to those going the free agent route. Thx for all you did for Bama. Roll Tide!!!

With the high value that some of the teams seem to place on situational pass rushing specialists, does Gentry have a shot at all?
