Pretty cool that there's two Hogs and an Arkansas native among the running backs.

Griswald, that's a name I didn't expect!

Ummm, Dixon is #4 on his RB list, right behind Collins.  However, I do have issue with his summary of the tight ends.  He makes the statement that even though he lists Henry as #1,  Higbee is arguably better.  I just don't see how anyone could draw that conclusion based on the conferences they both played in.

that and the fact that Henry, you know, won the award for the best TE in the country...

That simply is not what he said about TE

That was my thoughts. He said if he had been in a system where he had to block. So if he wasn't in a system where he had to block then how the heck do you know he can? What evidence is there?

[ChitownHawg]

If not for injury woes and limited blocking showcased on film, Higbee would be the draft's top tight end

That is pretty much what he did say.

He could have just as well of said " if not for a lack of 4.1 speed Jonathan WIlliams would have been the #1 running back"

well guess what, the lack of those things is in fact why those guys weren't listed #1.

Is it a lack of reading comprehension skills, or do some people just refuse to see anything other than what they want to see.

In actuality what he said was that a lack of durability set the kid behind Henry

You my friend are the one with the lack of reading comprehension. We get what he is saying and are pointing out the weakness of his argument.

LOL you see what you want to see "He named Henry his choice as the top TE and you STILL claim he somehow dissed the guy" good grief.

Holy cow you are a piece of work. We are discussing his comment and lack of evidence that Higbee would be #1 if it were not for his injury.

What is so hard to understand about that?

It is like Deep Shoat asked in another thread "what reincarnate troll are you?"

[trphog]

Braxton Miller as the 2nd best WR coming out is laughable. This guy must have a tOSU fetish or something.

I've seen some people that think Henry is a little underwhelming just because he isn't flashy but like 95% of the ones I've seen think he is without a doubt the #1 TE

[WizardofhOgZ]

If not for the fact that Hunter Henry is better than him, injury woes and limited blocking showcased on film, Higbee would be the draft's top tight end

That is pretty much what he did say.

Fixed that for him . . .

[ChitownHawg]

Fixed that for him . . .

Such a simple truth.

[Pigasaurus]

Any Tigers on these lists?  LSU, Auburn or Mizzou?  With the recruiting classes the first two have had and winning back to back Eastern titles by Mizzou.  Wow.

[SooiecidetillNuttgone]

Maybe you don't understand backhanded compliments.

For example :

If it weren't for the fact that your face had completely been rearranged with a crowbar,  you'd easily be the 5th best looking guy in the room of 7 men.

[Supermark101]

DJ won it too. That means nothing in the NFL

[HogInFlorida]

Who in their right mind would take Braxton Miller over Doctson, Coleman, or Fuller? That blows my mind. Great athlete for sure and his spin move against VT should be in every highlight video forever, but potential alone doesn't make you theb2nd best WR in a class.

If braxton miller played ar for 3 years he'd be the number 1 pick in this draft.


Henry has great hands, the best in the entire draft. He runs really good routes, is a guy you never ha e to worry about off field and is an excellent second level run blocker, where he  an get out in space and use his athletic ability 


Cons are, he's not very pysical, you can push him around is a good athlete, not going to  hang the way you  8 er with his speed r anything, and is a  below Avg point of attack / line run  vlocker.


He more than any is why we ran so maNY draws..allows him to get to the se on level or pull to the other side of the line. But that workout Co firms what teams see wrong with him


Unless I were the pas who THROW 5 TIME  game I would not take in first

I looked at that freaking list FIVE TIMES and still somehow missed that!!  ^$#&^#^*%$&*($%&*($!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are too much, when someone lists you as the #1 guy, thats not a backhanded compliment.

[DeltaBoy]

That some nice coverage for our boys.

Agreed! But even with all of the super athleticism he was supposed to have he still didn't test that well at the combine. There's no way I would take him over any of those guys you listed. Plus, URB let him get the crap kicked out of him in college with the way he used him at QB.
