NFL Draft notes - college football open thread

by 3k on Nov 3, 2011 7:27 PM CDT in 2012 NFL Draft

Well, as I type this, Florida St. is in the red zone about to open the score against Boston College in tonight's ACC matchup which is conveniently the only game currently on my watchlist for this week.

Sure, I'll be busting to try and get as many games in for this week as I can. I'm already behind the ball, as I didn't get my Opponent Proponent Q&A with Jess Root from Revenge of the Birds up today. But hey, it's college football and draft talk now.

So what's worth seeing in this one? Well, you've got arguably the best 3-4 OLB and 4-3 ILB prospects playing in Florida St.'s Brandon Jenkins and Boston College's Luke Kuechly, respectively. And between the two teams, there are useful cornerbacks aplenty. And Florida St. has several offensive line prospects both in next year's draft and in the pipeline, chiefly OT Andrew Datko. Don't sleep on Seminole OLB Nigel Bradham either.

If you're watching, here's your open thread.

Aren't there any other Top WR in college football other than Blackmon and Jeffrey that are available for the 2012 draft worthy of a Rams top pick?

Floyd would probably be on the Rams

Radar but he has his off the field issues. Broyles looks like a stud but he’s probably to short to be a 1 but that’s about it that will go in the first. Blackmon, Jeffery, Floyd, and Broyles..

Sam Bradford + Alshon Jeffery = All other teams are screwed!!

depends on where our top pick is

top 10? No.
10-20? Maybe Floyd, with Sanu as a sleeper reach.
20+? Well, let’s win some games first…

Kuechly is so good

Wish he hadn’t gone to BC. No offense, if there are any Golden Eagles fans.

Doesn't BC actually put some goo players in the league?

As for Datko, he had a shoulder surgery not take (which put out him out for the year I think) and it might not be looking good for his future

yup

forget to add that note in my watchlist and the thread above. And from time to time, BC can provide decent players. But nothing like the big programs that send 2 to 5 guys every year.

sure

but plenty of schools have had pretty nice players. Hell, Brandon Lloyd went to Illinois! (points at Brick Top….)

What I remember from the VT BC game

was he was surprisingly fast AND strong. For some reason I figured his game was predicated on speed and instincts, but he’s a true hole filler at MLB. His athleticism seems unusual for a MLB and I really question whether he’d have a bigger impact at OLB.

Well nothing else is going on so I am going to slum it in this post.

Hell I don’t even watch college football all that much.

Wow this game is so close. Two evenly matched teams.

I wonder who is going to win.

If we pick around 10-20

Then get Worthy in 2nd and Floyd in first. With an OLB in 3rd and CH in free agency. Next year we address the Sjax successor.

THIS

I say next year we’ll be picking in the middle to the end of the round so Marcus lattimore would be awesome in the first. I wouldnt mind Floyd this year either in the middle of the first.
