Re: Back to the Past....Just Briefly!
Oh the Spartan. At 11 he would have been a reach ... I had concerns even at 32. He had too many question marks about his desire and work ethic. Too many past performances where scouts question his motivation & consistency. I believe Malik would be better in a 3-4 D. Didn't appear to be a "fit" in NO anyway.
For me personally, I'd stay away from guys with questionable effort anywhere in the draft. |

Re: Back to the Past....Just Briefly!
So how can you say we got the best value at those spots in the draft? Our players havent played a down either. A little contradiction there. Also Malik McDowell was THE ONLY player worth drafting on that terible defense I mean he did play EVERY DL pos also Taco was said to "take plays off" didnt hurt his stock, and every other player has red flags NO PLAYERis perfect. I actually watched Game tape on Malik I disagree with takes plays off, but you know to each his own.

I watch a lot of B1G football through the year and I agree that Taco does take a lot of vacations too. I was glad we didn't take either of the Michigan hyped up food groups. I really didn't see that much special in Malik. He dominated the lesser lines, but he'd often disappear when he was up against good talent. Shoot, look at the head to head of the Spartans vs the Badgers last year. He had one tackle and one assist. Not only was nobody home, the lights weren't even on.

Re: Back to the Past....Just Briefly!
How can it be that "They haven't played a down ......judge after 3 years.
YET "EXPERTS" declare them "Great Value" when selected? Seems the "Experts" left out an important word. "Potential" So you can "Have your cake" and "Eat it too"! Potentially of course! |

Re: Back to the Past....Just Briefly!
In my days I've run across a lot of real estate agents who love that word "potential".

Re: Back to the Past....Just Briefly!
Exactly. At this point there is ONLY potential.
