Zebrie Sanders just got taken. This goes here:
I am still trying to get over that 2nd round pick for the Lions.
Holy shit, they drafted a guy from the MIAA. Tloy has to be better than that.
That'll shore up their D.
Damn, we need another player drafted.
"small school stud with intriguing measurables and speed" -- the CBS guys.
Chris Greenwood from Albion? Now we know their whole best player available shtick is a charade.
And it's nice to have some depth at CB. Still scratching my head why they went for Broyles before getting the best available corner. Broyles may end up being a big steal though. Widely considered nation's best receiver before ACL tear.
A QB, a D-lineman, and a couple of receivers when he blows up.
It's going to be a rough transition.
If he's got one thing going for him it's that 2 of the only 3 D-III players drafted into the NFL that I can think of off the top of my head made an impact for the Lions. The two Lions being Pete Metzelaars and Clint Kriewaldt, with Pierre Garcon being the third.
As an Albion alum, and having had a class with Chris, I'm happy for the guy. Let's go Brits!
What year did you graduate?
Class of 2011 here.
Ah, class of 2006 here.
My cousin on the football team, Nate Kirk is graduating from there in a week...I'll be up there for the graduation.
Should go to the barn party.
Do you have access to the Lions board?
Often MSM board are vastly different than the NFL team board.
Cowboys draft VT WR Danny Coale, who did not catch a touchdown in overtime at the Sugar Bowl.
David Molk (if he's available) and (dare I say it) Edwin Baker would be nice grabs in 6 and 7, respectively. Hoping Hemingway gets drafted today.
Chris Polk from Washington. Make it happen Lions.
I'm sure he'll get picked by the time the Lions pick in the sixth round. I think they'll be going O-line first, so cross your fingers for Molk!
3 Arkansas WR go in round 4
I was just checking out the list of Big10 players still on the board, and I'm really surprised some of these guys are still around: Dennard, McNutt, Ebert (maybe not so surprising, actually), Cunningham, Herron, Moye, Henry. There's a lot of good, if not spectacular, talent from the Big10 lingering.
(I didn't include Molk or Hemingway, because I think we're all probably at least a little surprised those guys are still available.)
I was hoping Cleveland would take McNutt. All I remember from McNutt is him repeatedly catching big passes in the Michigan game last year. Still hurts.
You would have to assume that Dennard's recent bout with the law has something to do with him still being undrafted. McNutt being around still is very surprising.
Dennard and McNutt were the two that really jumped out to me, too. I assumed Dennard's run in with the law would hurt his stock, but not knock him out of the draft (or at least this far back).
I didn't expect Hemingway to get taken before now, and Molk wasn't realistically projected much higher than this. He's small and he's been hurt for the evaluation period. We knew he was going to have to prove himself, again.
La Lafayette, Midwest State, and Albion College have same amount of players drafted so far as Michigan... thats crazy
Remind me why Hoke didn't sweep every coach of the year award last year?
Multiple Boilermakers.
I was just wondering your guys' opinions on Burifict? Would you take the risk on him?
take a shot at him.
I'd be careful about publicly airing your opinions of this man if they're negative:
At this stage, might as well. If he pans out, then you've gotten a first-round talent at the end of the draft. If not, he's not much of a loss.
Please get drafted soon!
It is criminal that Molk has lasted this long. Come on Mayhew, let's get this done.
That's unbelievable! That's criminal!
Albion college=Michigan
Beginning to see how we've lost 4 in a row.
Hoke.
It never felt like much of a talent issue between the teams, but more a competency on the defensive end.
There should be a big talent issue between teams. And not in their favor.
Guess those that said he was an NFL draft pick we're right.
That's 3 from Hoke's old team, isn't it?
Surprised nobody is taking a shot at Kellen Moore this late.
Dude was 50-3 in his career and 2 of those losses came from missed field goals while the other was a 1 point loss to TCU in the 2008 Poinsetta Bowl.
The NFL doesn't pick it's players by how many games they win. It has scientifically perfected it's rating system by using a combination of non-football agillity drills and strength measurements. Don't forget that important intelligence test.
/s (that last part at least)
How has Molk not been drafted yet? I understand Hemingway and RVB not having gone yet, but still, this is insane.
Is going to Philly this round!!
Surprised that Denver didn't take MOLK this last pick! Maybe they will look at him again
Denver already took a center.
The Texans told Van Bergen prior to the draft that they'd take him in the 6th round if he was still there. Let's see if they stick to their word in a few picks...
