Game Thread: 2012 NFL Draft Thread

[Catfish]

Unless I missed one, all of the RBs taken in the first round are shorter than 5'10".

 

[sanjosecrimson]

i think lots of guys only watch Bama or SEC games.

don't you??

 

[10Bama54]

Well, Upshaw didn't go tonight, maybe tomorrow night.

According to some of you guys, a good draft pick is only a guy that played in the SEC. You guys need to start reading and watching more pre-draft coverage.

Come on dude. The only reason you've ever heard of Whitney Mercilus is BECAUSE of pre-draft coverage so don't pretend all these guys are house-hold names.

Abovr 5'10" a rb's chance of injury exponentially goes up with height.

Congrats to the 4 selected! Tough for Upshaw, but he's shown the attitude I think that will bring success. He'll prove a lot of teams wrong.

His point was that too many of our otherwise super-smart posters are playing dumb about the draft. Fifteen minutes of NFL Live would clue you in.

don't you??

hahaha, i watch as many college games as i possibly can. I love college football.

And if some of the posters on this board would look at more pre-draft coverage, they wouldn't make comments asking about who players are when the player has been mentioned plenty of times.

This could work out well for Upshaw... The Ravens pick 3rd in the 2nd round. That would be a really good spot for him; lined up on the opposite side from Suggs.

I'd be curious to see the # of "workout warriors" that shine at the combine, but don't play against tough teams and do well in the NFL.

Alshon Jeffrey didn't go in the 1st.

Kind of surprised. He dominated the pancake-eating contest at the combine.

 

[Catfish]

Who do you guys see as being a bust out of this bunch? My guess is Poe from Memphis. Another Mike Mamula workout warrior who didn't do anything on the field to justify the pick.

Put in the right system Jeffrey will do well because they'll make him get in shape.

I find it hard to believe many have never heard of Mercilus. unless you dont watch outside of the SEC. the guy led the nation in sacks, tkls for loss and FF's

 

[GP for Bama]

Great night for the four first round picks...and a great night for Bama!
The Process continues.

I think he was out of shape all of last year and it raised flags with the GMs. They generally hate to invest a 1st round pick on a guy with questionable commitment and discipline. Jeffrey has great skills, though.

I'm not trying to pick a fight. Just saying that I watched plenty of draft coverage and never heard his name once. I would wager that most of us on this board (and most college football fans) have never heard of him either. But anyone who watched the BCSCG knows Courney Upshaw

 

[wrathin]

To me Jeffrey = Maze with 6 more inches and 5 stars out of High School.

I still think tannehill has bust written all over him.
