Re: So who do we draft?

lets see what today brings.

if we lose i fear the season is done and the team will collapse for the most part.

If we win that should be huge for this team to jump start a strong finish to the season.

difference? picking 5th? or picking close to 20?

Re: So who do we draft?

Soooo apparently Robert Nkemdiche tried to commit suicide. That's pretty weird.

Re: So who do we draft?

^that leaves the other one then, Lawson.

Re: So who do we draft?

Jaylon Smith looks like a good prospect. I think Jaylon, Kikaha, and Anthony would make a nice young LB corps. Although a beast WR would be nice, I don't think we're at that point yet to make it a #1 priority. OG,LB,and DT are more important IMHO.

My mom was at the hotel. Apparantly he was on Mojo, the synthetic mary jane. Same thing happened to his brother earlier in the week lol

Re: So who do we draft?

I don't know if he was trying to commit suicide or if he thought he was about to be caught with the marijuana and tried to escape out the window and fell. They said the window was broken. Seems odd that he didn't just open the freakin' window... Regardless of what he was trying to do.

This you tube clip shows a pretty special game. First time two Swedes faced each other in a FBS game. The LT for Purdue #75 is Swedish and so is Johansson #71 the LG for Marshall.

Great list Hagan. I'm already wondering how our draft boards will be set up.

We need a NT, OG and WR first and foremost. These positions, if they were solid selections, would make us contenders again. I'm torn between a DT or WR in the first. I'm hoping for a nasty NT. I want to solidify the O-line but I don't want to take a chance on a mid to late rounder to protect Drew Brees.
