2018 NFL Draft Thread

should have went to the CFL.
If I am a kid out of high school like that, who has terrible grades and can't function in the class room, I am going to the CFL. 3-4 years in the CFL and some production and he just might've been drafted or signed as a free agent by a team.

That's what Duron Carter finally did. 
After being one of the top receivers up there for two years he got a cup of tea with the Indianapolis Colts. But it didn't take.
He's been back in the CFL for another two years, is still doing pretty well.

UCLA QB Josh Rosen sitting out the bowl game. Can't say I blame him. He's the probable #1 pick, #2 at worst. Nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Pretty sad to see how his career went, a kid with his talent should've QB'd a team to some championships. But he's the one who thought it was a good idea to go play for Jim Mora. So...lol.

He chose UCLA, and UCLA is UCLA....so he can't feel surprised.

I blame him.  Sitting out the last game because you've got bigger and better plans for the future is the antithesis of being a teammate.
By extension, his reasoning could be applied to every senior whose team has been eliminated from CFP consideration.

^^^ Dead on, CW.

I think when kids choose to not play, they should immediately lose all benefits associated with their scholarship too. No weight room, no training table, no trainers, no pro day, any final stipends, etc.

If you say you're done, then you're done. Two-way street.

Rosen says he is in concussion protocol 

[847badgerfan]

Yeah, so am I.

[FearlessF]

hah, I've fallen and I can't reach my martini  

[847badgerfan]

You know me well.

truth.
thing is though, think I read/heard some stat that during Jim Mora's 6 year tenure at UCLA, he had more guys drafted to the NFL than any team in the PAC. The guy could obviously recruit well. Never translated into wins, and he got fired.
He's a pretty mediocre coach. Always has been ever since his stint in the NFL where he got fired by the Falcons and the Seahawks. Don't know why UCLA thought it was a good idea to hire him.

Jim Mora started strong, going 29–11 through the first 3 seasons

Frank Solich wouldn't have lasted as long in Lincoln as he did if he had started out with that record.

poor Frankie was following 60-3 the previous 5 seasons
Mora wouldn't have lasted as long either
