The Draft

[hawginbigd1]

two more tight ends just came off the board. In the second round. One from Ashland. Sprinkle stock not very high

Not really that, he is rated top100 on most every board. The Ashland kid OMG, never heard of him but dude is a beast, former small college basketball player. He is the only other true TE so far besides Howard taken.

[12247]

This thread indicates that FLA has 5 players taken in the first 3 rounds.  Compare that to the Big 12 having 2 total players taken on the first 2 rounds, those being Mahomes and Mixon.  Think about that, a P5 conference with 2 players taken in the first 2 rounds?  Consider how much easier it is to score wins over a period or time in a less talented overall conference than in the BIG Grizzly SEC.

Called Wise, 4th rd and first hog. Went to pats. 

[lightsout]

Wise to the Patriots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Called Wise, 4th rd and first hog. Went to pats.

That was a wise pick by Belichik.


Would love to see him playing next to Trey.

[bennyl08]

Wise to the Patriots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for him but man, basically going to the longhorns of the NFL. I hope he and Flowers combine for 30 sacks a season but go winless and move to a different team.

[bennyl08]

That gives the Patriots what, three of our last 4 DEs. Bequette,  Flowers, and Wise with Smith going to Jax.

[Hogz87]

The Patriots love them some Hogs.

I know you are saying longhorns probably because of hated, but as far as success it's more like they went to the Alabama of the pros.

You got it right with the first part.

Benny, I'm guessing with your electric moves and mohair suits, your favorite team is the Jets.

I'm here all week.  Don't forget to tip your waiters.

Just the tip?

Did you read that in a magazine? Link?

[bennyl08]

Ledbetter to the lions in case you haven't already seen it.

Also, 6th round, first player drafted that wasn't on any list. As in, 500 players the NFL has with some sort of grade. 500. Every year, there's at least 1 if not a few players that were deeper tracks that weren't on pretty much anybody's radar.

EDIT: That or somebody entered in something wrong because the name changed after I posted it. It will happen though.

[alohawg]

Still thinking Morgan is on a roster in 2017.

[bennyl08]

Still thinking Morgan is on a roster in 2017.

Don't know about roster, but i think we still see two more hogs get drafted before it finishes. I'd expect Hatcher, Morgan, and Collins to be at least on a practice squad in 2017 though.

Surely Hatcher goes, yes?

[daprospecta]

Surely Hatcher goes, yes?

I'd be mad if he does not drafted.

[bennyl08]

Surely Hatcher goes, yes?

I'd think him and Skipper, but don't call me Shirley.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Only 5 picks to go.  Not looking too good for those Hogs still undrafted.

[alohawg]

Every year udfa's make rosters. Still can't believe Hatcher hasn't gone.

[Cambridge Hog]

Not going to happen. But going UDFA is better than being drafted at this point. Pick the team that is best for you (of the offers you have)

True dat.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

They're already talking about next year's draft.  Adam Schefter just said many GMs are saying the top pick next year will be Wyoming's QB.  ?? 

Where do these guys come from?  And why aren't we ever the beneficiary of one of them?

[ricepig]

Chad Kelly is Mr. Irrelevant.......

[Jackrabbit Hog]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!  Chad Kelly is Mr. Irrelevant!

[Dr. Starcs]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!  Chad Kelly is Mr. Irrelevant!

Ain't that ironic

[King Kong]

Most of our guys are fringe. It just depends is someone really likes them. Outside of Wise and Sprinkle it wouldn't be super surprising to see any of the others go undrafted or get drafted.

However, do expect Ledbetter and Skipper to be drafted.

Almost nailed it

[alohawg]

He hung on to the end.....a hanging Chad.

You can't script that kind of thing LOL.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Hey, congrats to you guys.  Barnett, Sutton, Reeves-Maybin, Malone, Dobbs, Kamara. 

'Course, I'm kind of glad to see those guys go.

They started talking about Watson the second last years draft ended, saying he'd be a sure bet for the #1 spot. Guy had the best year of his life and still wasn't a top ten pick. You can't predict any of this stuff a year out. It's just noise at this point.

They've got to talk about something, or they'll lose their jobs.....

Deshaun Watson

Reuben Foster
O.J. Howard
Cam Robinson

The rest of the draftees are basically decent NFL practice/bench warmer players.

Thank you, Meltodd McKipershay.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Skipper not getting drafted was the only thing at least sort of surprising.  After Ledbetter, I thought only Skipper had a realistic shot. 

[hawgmasta]

When was the last time we had 3 draft picks or less?

So much fail in this post. Sorry man but I think you're way off.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Notice he managed to include all the Clemson players though.  Even their offensive draftees will make fantastic NFL players just by being in the presence of Brent Venables for a few years.

[Pig in the Pokey]

Chad Kelley is Mr Irrelevant. Man, that makes my heart feel good. Screw that guy.

[Hawghiggs]

  The difference between OU and Arkansas. OU starts every season flat out knowing that they have at least 6 gimmie wins each season. Arkansas has 3, and none of them are conference matches. Maybe its not fair to compare OU and Arkansas.  But they are the strongest program in the Big 12. Now Texas might make a comeback.  If Arkansas was in the Big 12 at worst be the 3rd or 4th best program. That says a lot considering we aren't even in the top 10 in the SEC.

I missed Perry Maxwell's name, was he not draft eligible this year?

2011, 2010 and 2009

Actually if we were as good as the Oklahoma program has been for awhile we would be looking at our schedule with about 6 gimmie games also.  But we aren't. Alabama goes in every year looking at about 6 or 7 gimmie games every year also.  That is the difference of being great and being mediocre.
