OT - Former Michigan RB Michael Cox to Giants

Mike Cox is never irrelevant. (5th grade snickering...)

Due to Cox?

It creeps me out to think that this was your first reaction to the news.

...do you meant that there are Moe Ways to have fun with this?

I've never seen Magnus and Tom Coughlin in the same place at the same time...

At that point you're drafting for good athletes who might be able to break through for some reason, not average Joes like Omameh, Demens, etc.  Cox is a better athlete than all of them.  His workout numbers compare favorably with a lot of the backs in the draft, including the "best" of them.

6'0", 222 lbs., 4.58 forty, 24 reps on the bench press, 41" vertical, 10'11" broad jump, 4.08 shuttle time.

I won't claim that he's a future NFL rushing champ or that he'll make an active roster.  But you can't look at those workout numbers and not be at least a little bit intrigued about what this guy might be able to do.

That's reason enough to get drafted.  

And M's 2 picks were for positions they didn't play in college. There is a reason for that. Look for michigan and osu to have a bunch of picks in 3 years.

Well, 20 of Michigan's 46 recruits from 2008-09 left before running out of eligibility, so that severely limits the pool of players eligible to be drafted.  Toss in the fact that Michigan changed schemes from 2007 to 2008 and then from 2010 to 2011, and there were a lot of misfits on Michigan's roster.  For example, guys like Elliott Mealer and Brandon Moore probably would not have been recruited by Rich Rodriguez if not for the fact that they were already committed to Michigan.  Sprinkle in some poor talent evaluation by Rodriguez and his staff, and it ended up pretty ugly for Michigan.

On the plus side, there should be several more draft picks next year (Lewan, Schofield, perhaps Toussaint, perhaps Gardner, perhaps Jake Ryan, etc.) and then we should be back on track with producing NFL talent.

But regardless, I laughed out loud and am still laughing at that.  Good for you, Sir.

and REALLY hit them hard, I think Cox's blocking skills are secondary.  

Magnus is also pretty fond of Hand. He had to move on after Cox was gone. 

Holy shit. That was by far the best of the Cox jokes today. Very well played, sir.

How many points do we get.for a 4.5 40?

Just an example of how a team's talent when they play together can be larger than the sum of its parts!  Clearly, that describes us in the eyes of NFL talent evaluators.
