2022 NFL Draft Thread

[OrangeAfroMan]

I have a Spurrier playbook downloaded from the 90s and recently downloaded a recent Alabama one.  Haven't looked at it very much yet.  

You should do the same and share images of anything that confuses you or makes you ask 'why?'

This doesn't deserve its own thread, but the USFL draft happened.  Looking over the players, there are VERRRRY few names I recognize.  And most of the big-name school guys were ones who got in trouble with the L-A-W.

I tried to download John Shoop's playbook, but there was a network overload and it took down Internet in 4 western states.

Easy to see how busted plays happen, and how less intelligent players may not be that good despite great physical talents.

1977: There's a national champion on the team as Husker wide receiver Jeff Lee wins the 60-yard high hurdles in the NCAA men's indoor track and field championships. The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder from Racine, Wis., would finish his Nebraska football career with just one catch for six yards,

I mostly agree.  My top 3 would be Pickett (Pitt), Howell (NC), and Strong (Nevada).  All these QBs seem to have what it takes at the next level, but none of them are a sure thing (like Joe Burrow).

Ridder (Cincy), Corral (Ole Miss), and Willis (Liberty) are the other options.  All 3 of these QBs have issues though.  I wouldn't touch Willis.  Corral is highly rated, but he has accuracy issues.

Why aren’t analysts and GMs higher on Kenny Pickett?

At 6-foot-3 & 217lbs (with room to add weight), he’s the right size for colder weather franchises who more often draft for sturdier size passers, a la Josh Allen – 6-foot-4, 235lbs – or Carson Wentz – 6-foot-5, 235lbs. Pickett’s passing is NFL ready. Not sure how the Steelers, needing a QB, can overlook the guy right in their backyard if still available tp pick. Pickett has the physical stature, pocket footwork, passing accuracy, and plenty of college experience to develop into a franchise QB.

Yes, his 2021 season was great.  But that's 500 attempts of great vs his previous 1100 attempts of bleh.  

If I'm a GM, I'm most concerned about a player's average, not his peak.

At least the MSU guys who got drafted were the definition of fine.  They were olid contributors, nothing more.  A couple of HM All Conference at most.

Also, why do we need a new one of these seemingly every spring at this point?  They all fail

Yeah, I was talking to a friend about it.  As long as there's big-time college football, a secondary pro league will not succeed.
