NFL Draft

Vol Horn 4 Life said:
And proof that stars matter. It still amazes me that we are getting Ben Davis who was a 5-star transfer that didn't see the field at Bama. I seriously doubt it's because he sucks, it's because that roster is loaded with the best players in the country.

I think college's ability to evaluate matters. Not all 5 and high 4 stars have similar ability ... hence our top 5 classes aren't producing pros the way similarly rated classes at Clemson and Ohio State.
 
Maybe I missed it but I did not know Herman read donor letters to the team. The letters and email saying no money if the Eyes isn't played.
Caden Sterns talked about it in an article about the injuries he has had which caused him to slide in the draft.

Way to go Cosmi and Ossai!
I hope you have long and fruitful careers.
The only reason I watch the NFL is to check up on former Longhorns.

Agreed - I stopped watching or caring about the NFL some time ago with the exception of the occasional glance to see how former Longhorns are doing. Hope this year's class experiences abundant success.
 
Will Sam E. get drafted or will he be an un-drafted free agent? I’m guessing the latter.
Romo was undrafted. Brady was a 6th (I think) rounder. Sometimes late comers work out just fine.

Previously I was confident he'd get drafted late. Now I'm doubtful. In fact I believe no other 'horns name will be called. Thought Eagles had a shot but no more.
 
the hugging of the commissioner seems sort of girlish and don't these guys understand he is the frontman for the swine who will shortly own them?

I just heard the Blue Angels flying overhead so I am going outside to watch

And no good olinemen to upgrade that diminished and suspect line, so......

Well, Tyron and La'el Collins back change everything on that line. Plus they signed a swing T. Maybe they should have drafted an OG but I'm glad they stocked up on D. They must feel great about the line just dropped a pick on a WR which really doesn't seem like a need at all.
 
The lack of attention to the OL by Jones makes me wonder if Jerry has some knowledge of the trade market or free agency to rebuild the OL.

Have to admit forgot all about Graham. Sterns is most likely a wasted pick. And that has nothing to do with "the eyes".

Sterns will have a long and fruitful career as an understudy to Colin Kapernick. Sterns can't tackle and that's a minus in tackle football. Bet he's worth millions in 10 years but not because of football.
 
I never thought I would live long enough to say this, but it could be worse than working for the Irsay family. That pretty much says everything you need to know about NFL owners.
 
To Crock's point I am watching Pre Derby. They have Bill Billicheck(sp?) and Bob Baffert.
Each complimented the other.
But Bob had the money quote.
He said He and Bill knew how to indentify great athletes and then knew how to get the best out of them.
What a great trait
 
So happy for Sam. Much better chance to get treated well and make the team as a draft pick instead of as a FA.

Sam was like a movie that was widely popular but the critics weren’t giving it many stars. He got quite a lot of fluffy praise and credit, but not much actual recognition as being a straight up good quarterback. So he was kind of simultaneously the most overrated QB (by so many fans) and most underrated (by so many people who would say he wasn’t in Colt’s league).
I think his shoulder will mend up and he will prove to be a good NFL quarterback. We may in retrospect see that he was elevating LJH and Devin and not the other way around.

Duv dropped one ball in his entire UT career. He would elevate any college QB. You put him with Colt and he has the same production Quan had.
 
Sam goes to the Colts in the sixth. The best Colt qb ever got drafted in the ninth round by Pittsburg. And got cut in training camp. Colts picked him up for a Fifty cent phone call.

good luck to a great competitor
