For what? Their waterskiing national championship?
Man that gave me chills. Thanks for posting!
Funny. This is a thread generating unnecessary bashing of an intelligent and very good LaTECH football player--mostly due to lack of personal knowledge of the player. A ULM grad, who has been aware of the player since he was in high school, extends a justifiable compliment of said player and ignites some ULM bashing.
Class of 2011...are you here from BTB?
Many factors go into that, that have nothing to do with talent. I think we saw that with La'el Collins. Using draft rounds as a proxy for talent is just lazy.
No, he isn't. But the point is that there is a myriad of reasons a player falls. Taking Charlton in the first, when he had a second round grade, for example. Team need. Perceived quality of competition. The list goes on and on.
Sure, but he fell to the bottom of the draft, with no character issues. You asked me what makes me qualified to judge. I never claimed to be a professional scout or draft expert. The people who are, decided not to take him until late in the draft. The obvious deduction is that the teams didn't like him, based on what they saw.
What was the reason that Chris Harris Jr. went undrafted? Anthony Brown (who, I think, will be great) in the 6th?
Don't be so narrow minded, Bob. With respect. Let's wait and see. There's All-Pro dbs that have fallen in the draft (Chancellor, Harris Jr. to name a couple), just to hi-light the fallacy of that arguement.
That's fine. All I am saying is that if you hang your hat on the experts, that knife cuts both ways. The experts thought Jamarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf were first rounders. I've probably seen him play by a factor of ten more than others here and I think he's a baller. I'm no professional, but I've seen football played long enough to see a S when I see one. Is he going to be better than the first rounders? Probably not. But he can still be prettt dang good.
