Yeah, well that's just your opinion man.

[URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=237333"]Kerrigan[/URL] playing for "below AVG" Purdue
33 sacks, 4 forced fumbles

[URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=188688"]Maybin[/URL]
16 sacks, 1 forced fumble

[URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=156843"]Gholston[/URL]
20 sacks, 0 forced fumble

And to stop this B10 is weak thought.

2010 ACTIVE NFL players by conference
SEC - 22.4 per member
B10 -19.7 "
ACC -19.1
P10 -18.2
B12 -15.3
BEC -11.9
MWC -7.9
WAC - 6.0
CUSA - 5.1
MAC - 4.4
SBC - 2.9

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

So who's the favorite for us to draft at # 10? It's changed so much over the last few weeks I'm completely lost? Is it QB, DE, WR, what?

If we stay at 10, I don't think Locker or Gabbert may be there so I'll say Jordan, Watt or Quinn (perhaps in that order)

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Man I love our picks. 10 is to early to take Jake Locker (or possibly now to late) and 41 is to late to get Dalton and Ponder.

Lol. I know right. It's amazing how the draft buzz changes everyday. Locker was a lock to be there at ten like four hours ago now alot of people are saying he will be gone. I hate this shit. !!!!!!!

Good. I was watching the Canucks play tonight and I got to thinking. You know why the NFL is struggling financially? It's because they don't have a pair of pro bowl Sweedish twins playing on the same team. Of course the Pouncey's aren't Sweedish, but Joakim Noah played at UF and was part Sweedish so that has to count for something. Anyway if this happens the CBA/lockout will be resolved.

I'm just going to go hack Schefter's Twitter account and start spreading rumors about players I don't like.

@AdamSchefter Adam Schefter
League sources tell me that Muhammad Wilkerson, Kyle Rudolph, Brandon Harris, and a bunch of other players the Redskins aren't targeting are sky rocketing up draft boards.

If you're gonna do it, do it right.

Target players you [I][B]like[/B][/I].

You have to swear that you were out at strip club in Seattle and saw Jake Locker and Blaine Gabbert drunk, doing lines of coke off a stripper's body then proceeded to start a bar fight in where they apparently beat up said strippers boyfriend/husband pretty bad.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Cameron Jordan is a practicing cannibal. So is Christian Ponder.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Please, Locker will not be gone when we pick at 10.
All this bullsh*t talk is just trying to get us QB poor teams to get desperate and reach for a Qb. So the value players slip to the teams picking after us. I would not be surprised if Gabbert or Newton slip as well. These Qb's are way over valued due the NFL convincing themselves and trying to convince us that the NFL is a QB league.
That still does not change the fact that this class of QB's are good but not great. Can't polish a turd.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

No convincing is necessary, [B]it is[/B] a QB driven league.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

[quote=Mattyk;795838]No convincing is necessary, [B]it is[/B] a QB driven league.[/quote]

The NFL is really selling that and everyone is swallowing it whole.
Out of the current Qb's in the NFL, the one with the most Superbowl rings is a 7th round pick that was a projected career backup. Not the savior franchise QB picked first overall in his draft. It is misguided to think you have draft a QB in the top of the draft to be good.

No team will win a superbowl without a well rounded [B]team[/B]. You also have to have a good defense and offense. Don't forget a decent offensive line and changing the rules to protect your savior and to try increase the value of QB's.
If you have a major deficiency at any one or two position groups, you can have Peyton Manning and Brady on the your team and you will get beat by the well rounded teams. Which is why Peyton Manning only has one ring and Brady has three.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Of course you need a good team to go along with your QB, that goes without saying, but teams that lack franchise QBs are typically the ones that are drafting in the top 10 each year.

The Brady example is a poor one as he is clearly the exception to the rule. Generally, top QBs are 1st round picks. I believe 26 of the 32 starting QBs in the league last year were 1st rounders. You generally don't find your franchise guy in later rounds.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Q. How many first round draft pick quarterbacks have won the Super Bowl?

As of the 2010 season:
1. Joe Namath - Super Bowl III
2. Bob Griese - Super Bowl VII and VIII
3. Terry Bradshaw - Super Bowls IX, X, XII, and XIII
4. Jim Plunkett - Super Bowls XV and XVIII
5. Jim McMahon - Super Bowl XX
6. Phil Simms - Super Bowl XXI
7. Doug Williams - Super Bowl XXII
8. Troy Aikman - Super Bowls XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX
9. Steve Young - Super Bowl XXIX
10. John Elway - Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII
11. Trent Dilfer - Super Bowl XXXV
12. Ben Roethlisberger - Super Bowl XL and XLIII
13. Peyton Manning - Super Bowl XLI
14. Eli Manning - Super Bowl XLII
15. Aaron Rodgers - Super Bowl XLV

24 of the 45 Super Bowls won by first round

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

I think that about sums it up Drew54. You need to have THE GUY at QB to win and not often is that guy found in later rounds (Tom Brady is an anomaly).
