seriously, I hate usf but they are a big east team who has played in 5 straight bowl games, some pretty impressive wins against teams like west virginia and auburn, and were ranked number 2 a couple years ago. Not small.
Not everybody makes it man. Pierre-Paul had family issues and immaturity in high school. That can be tough. On top of that, he was a two-sport athlete and still managed to get a lot of quality offers from schools such as Arizona, USF, UCF, Alabama, LSU, UF, Kansas St., and Nebraska. He just couldn't qualify academically. IMO, their not very small. A very small school doesn't get as much Florida talent as USF does and get in the top 25 IMO.
If I remember this correctly, USF has the most Florida talent from the Florida programs. They have 80%, UF has like 68%, FSU has like 64% and Miami is somewhere around FSU.
azfin got owned. it was like mel kiper owning todd mcshay. classic. i love it, gotta get some more of it. dont stop there, pour some more on. yeaah yeah.
Sorry guys, just got back. Still looking for a trade partner for #10. If nobody steps up in 60 minutes, I will make a pick. I won't make everyone wait until 9pm.
Some good picks so far, teams doing a good job addressing needs. The JPP pick is my biggest fear in real life....I could easily see a team like kc or Cleveland getting him before miami gets a chance. I believe he has the ability to be a tremendous player at the NFL level but getting him in the right situation with the right coaches will be critical for a player who is a big raw and most likely learning to be a 3-4 OLB instead of a 4-3 DE. He definitely wasn't getting past 17 as I had him fourth on my big board after Suh McCoy and berry.
Ok. It was just very surprising to see them take JPP as an OLB. I think he'd have been fine as a 4-3 DE, and not knowing that they switched I was a bit caught off guard (because he couldn't be a 4-3 OLB IMO).
Thanks VO. I was at a bar and wasn't getting a good signal so I figured you would do a better job writing it up.
No worries man. Luckily you PM'd me before the end of this game ... if K-State pulls it off I may be at a bar like you ...
Of course its an interesting pick. We're doing something the Bills haven't done in years: Draft right.
actually, think i did pretty good all things considered... out of the nine guys drafted so far, only one did I not have drafted in the top nine.
Someone is defensive ... j/k Paul ... this is why I don't do mocks. Even when you're right you're wrong.
WoW!!! Paul just got owned!!!! Just kidding of course Paul This more than likely, will be by far the most important post in this thread...not only tonight, but for the duration!!!!!
