In related news, by that I mean unrelated, my son won 2nd in the 200, 3rd in the 100. Off to State Meet
Any idea why Sanders hasn't been picked yet? A guy named Tip from Illinois was picked before him. I thought he would be a guaranteed 3rd round. Whoever picks him from now on is getting a hell of a value.
The NFL trend this year looks like desire for the beefy tight end. ESPN draft board rates Jared Wiley above Sanders.
LC, Please tell the young man congratulations and great job. I'm old and lose track of time. Is he a sophomore or junior?
FWIW, only a guess: Sanders is a little underweight and needs to work on his strength & blocking to handle the TE duties in the NFL. He is a tremendous talent receiving and getting yards after the catch. So he will be drafted, and he will get his shot. He's a hard worker and I expect him to have a long and successful pro career.
Sanders tested very poorly at the Combine, His bench press was woefully poor. Additionally, some believe that he is not a proficient or willing blocker. I personally believe that he will now be a steal, but he does need to hone his areas of deficiency.
Sanders kind of reminds of Jay Novacek. Not a great blocker, but anything tossed in his direction will be caught and the YAC will be beneficial to the offense. Unless I had a glaring need at another position, I'd pounce on him post haste.
We obviously had an abundance of talent and these 2 will play in the league. Texas is in great shape with talent.
Good to see Brooks off the board before the Cowboys had a chance to take him. He deserves better than Dallas.
Who’s next? Probably C Jones, but I believe that Watts will be starting for someone by next year. Maybe at safety.
Who do you think will surprise folks? Although there may be more than one, I think it could be Watts. I just think he’s a better player than we saw in college. Perhaps at safety.
