There are programs, LSU included, who produce more starters than Ohio State. There are programs like Florida who put out a bunch of draft picks, but have a terrible success rate. Ohio State is somewhere in the middle. And I didn't compare Lattimore to Reddick. I simply said that guys like him or Foster would have been more dynamic, or perhaps "impactful" would be a better term, as they would address dire needs. I don't think our secondary was that far off. They need to stay healthy (surprisingly, so does Lattimore. How about that?), but other than that, they just need help up front. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Day 2:
I'm liking Derek Rivers/Tim Williams/Demarcus Walker either one of those three will help us immensely getting to the quarterback

Re: Day 2:
Well, I am no conspiracy theorist. I don't care where they come from, either. I just care about picks that make sense, and I, like many others, can't help but notice the OSU fascination, even when the pick doesn't make much sense. This particular pick made some sense, but there were other options who might have been more prudent. Yet, we took the OSU guy again. Just adds fuel to the idea that this isn't a coincidence. I'm not one to grasp at small things. This has been over a long period of time, and I just can't help but find it strange. That is all.
