Loads of talent, and, with no disrespect to the Saints, games like last night make me think the college game is 100x better than the NFL.

Going beyond the obvious (the Bama defenders, Watson, Mike Williams), I really liked what both the TE's did and also Gallman who reminds me of Shane Vereen or our own Pierre Thomas.

May be blaspheme for Tigers' fans, but I say Fournette will be okay, but I don't see his game transitioning with the same impact at the pro level...

Thinking Eddie George, 4X ProBowler, one or two league rushing titles, wear and tear, 8 years, and that's why you don't spend a first round pick on RBs anymore, unless you're Sean Payton/Mickey Loomis, then you throw in a second round pick as well...

Great game last night. There are probably 10 guys on the field that will be picked in the 1st round this year.

Although I'm disappointed in the outcome, the Bama-Clemson game is a great example of why so many fans prefer College Football over the NFL. And its gonna continue.

Re: Championship draft watch
 

Yeah it was a very good game.

That WR for Clemson is pretty impressive.

Renfrow. I see him being the next Julian Edellman.

Re: Championship draft watch
 

Pretty sure he meant Mike Williams, who strangely enough is the #11th ranked player in the upcoming draft.:p


Hmmmm...

Re: Championship draft watch
 

It's tough for those undersized walk-on slot guys in the college game to make it in the NFL. But they are often overacheivers and a few of them now and then are able to survive in the NFL, like Wes Welker. Other ones like Dabo Swinney go onto to become successful coaches :).

that neck scares me. imagine he will get the fine comb treatment

If it can't be Foster it must be Robinson.

DE, LB'er and RG in the first three rounds regardless of who we bring in free agency. Terry Fontenot may be the next head to roll if we don't get good players in free agency. We got lucky with Fairley but he did sit on the market until his value was acceptable for the risk involved. I'm not sold on the Pro evaluations or the scouting department just yet.
