Re: 2014 NFL Draft
Don't trust the "big names" that disappear in big games...
And, I've noticed a trend with SEC players in the last twenty years.. And Alabama Alum in the NFL have not done, well, until the last couple years though Julio Jones and Eddy Lacy (we'll see how he builds on this year) may have "begun to turn the tide"; and there's the promise of the recent bumper crop of offensive linemen; but that's very recent, so I've got the fine spectacles on when looking at Tide players... I don't trust Wide Receivers from Tennessee, but man, do they produce some really good players, especially linemen... They get little fanfare, but Mississippi State, especially Defensive Linemen and now Cornerbacks have been a solid producer... LSU was embarrassed by JaMarcus Russell, though that's mostly on him; but, many of their defensive prospects have transitioned well; plus, they're starting to produce receivers; nothing All-Pro, but very solid players... Of the SEC teams in the last twenty-five years, I'd rank top 5 as Tennesse, LSU, Mississippi State, Auburn and Alabama with best quality NFL players produced, transitioned... |

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
Guess we can take a LT off the list, at least an early round one

Having Armstead's athleticism on the right edge would give a ++ advantage in matchups on that side of the line... Wish we had more people not afraid to mocks; they shouldn't be afraid of ridicule, though playful poking is always healthy among friends... There probably are prospects that should be discussed that just haven't been mentioned here yet... There's some real good discussion and thought provoking insight even when we don't all have the same picture of the Saints team and status quo... |
