What do you draftnicks think of Holland? Voch and Cavanaugh don’t seem to like him very much. Holland seems to have the best pro day as a safety. I am interested.
well....he’s not too smart for one. Play as a freshman, then opt out, then enter the draft? Sounds like a horrible plan.
He might have given up a 1st or 2nd round grade but I understand his decision and don’t think it’s dumb at all.
- Gets drafted
- Spends a year training for NFL
- Doesn’t risk injury
ok....explain it to me.
I wouldn’t consider Cavanaugh an expert on anything. I rely on Brugler for analysis. He does it 365 days a year.What do you draftnicks think of Holland? Voch and Cavanaugh don’t seem to like him very much. Holland seems to have the best pro day as a safety. I am interested.

The beauty of the draft is everyone has an opinion that "could" be right, and so called experts aren't necessarily better than ppl on this board, imho.Agreed. Cavanaugh is good in that he's confident in his opinions, and they may differ from the norm. But he absolutely looks at the draft like a fan (eg, valuing guys are the scrappy underdogs, like Washington, even though their pro potential is middling) rather than a scout.
I really enjoy both him and Voch; can tell they like the draft as much as the rest of us, which makes their opinions more entertaining than most. But I don't take their word as gospel.
Missing the year removes that injury risk and means he gets around 1m guaranteed as a 3rd round pick.
The four basic options are:
1. Play, improve draft stock to 2nd round and get 4m guaranteed.
2. Play, reduce draft stock to 5th and earn 300k guaranteed
3. Play, get injured and earn 50k sitting in a cubical somewhere
4. Don’t play, earn 1m guaranteed as a 3rd round pick
Anything that avoids option 3 is not dumb IMO. 1m can be life changing and for someone that’s from a very poor background, risking losing that might not be worth it no matter the upside.
