Michigan's last 5 first round draft picks-

  • 2005- Braylon Edwards (Cleveland Browns #3)
  • 2005- Marlin Jackson (Indianapolis Colts #29)
  • 2007- Leon Hall (Cincinnati Bengals #18)
  • 2008- Jake Long (Miami Dolphins #1)
  • 2010- Brandon Graham (Philadelphia Eagles #13)

#77 is a great number for OTs here.

Two Titans-

The jersey number 77 is one of three that has been worn by five All-Americans in the history of Michigan, as I recall. In addition to Lewan, it has belonged to Jake Long, Jon Jansen, Paul Seymour and Arthur Walker. The other two numbers to be so honored are #72, one of which was Dierdorf, and perhaps not to anyone surprise, the other one is #1.

post pics of various shirts, posters, hats, and other souvineers, I'm beginning to think you're not some high school kid, but instead make a living as a sales rep or marketing exec for some sports apparal company.

RDT got busted a lot quicker, though.  Nice job keeping the smokescreen going for so long, "kid"!

Berman referenced 'The Long Blue Line' Of Offensive Linemen? Very cool!

I hope this kid keeps his heads and has a great career!

Bortles is a similar type of developmental project who could end up playing running back eventually too.  But I asked the question without hinting positive or negative.  There's also a chance the Jaguars could be looking to build an offense that's loaded with versatility.  It's just interesting to ponder, that's all.

Bortles would be a really big, kinda-slow RB. 

If he doesn't work out at QB, then I'm not sure how you recover unless you pull a Matt Jones and try him out at WR/TE.

I don't know what I like less about this evening: Ray Lewis waxing poetic about how much he loves the NFL when he used his league-earned fame to literally get away with murder, or Taylor Lewan proving you can punch dudes both on the field and outside the bar, intimidate a rape victim, and be live-tweeted pouring drinks behind a bar and being an asshole after a loss, and still be in line to be a newly-minted millionaire by this time next week.
