3 Vols Invited to Combine

[NighthawkVol]

I disagree. I think all of the above have good chances make at least a practice squad roster. I think it is weird Jabari is not on the list I think he is more likely to make a roster than Warren or GJL and I think those guy can make a roster. If Colton Jumper can hang around on a roster any of these guys can. Not knocking Jumper just saying. Age isn't as big a deal in the NFL as it is the NBA. it still a factor but its about what you can bring. I think all of these vols can be good camp bodies for some teams and maybe convert that into a shot to roster.

Getting drafted is not the same as making a team. I said I think the most drafted is 4 (that's if Castles is drafted). Others will be signed as UDFAs (as Jumper was) and some will make a team, I would guess. But no one is projecting GJL, Beasley, Small, Tank, or Warren to be drafted.

Hard to imagine that UK had six players invited and only won 7 games.

.
That shows that coaching does matter. Several teams above us on that list that we beat.

Joe Milton III, Jaylen Wright, Kamal Hadden


Surprised Beasley didn’t get an invite.

Expecting him along with Tank/Juedy Lally and Warren/McCastles will be signed as UFA somewhere

Beasley is too small for LB and too slow for safety

Falcons need a qb and I would like to see them draft Milton.

Please go the free agent route instead.

3 players in the 2024 combine (9-4)
7 players in the 2023 combine, 5 got drafted (11-1)
4 players in the 2022 combine, all 4 got drafted, 5 total drafted (7-6)
7 players in the 2021 combine, 5 got drafted (3-7)
5 players in the 2020 combine, 2 got drafted (8-5)
0 players in the 2019 combine, 0 got drafted (5-7)

Heupel getting results with the talent he's got, vs our other coaches.

may find a JRM type role.

When you see literally 3 players invited to the combine, you have to be impressed w what CJH has done on the field with this roster.

As much as i would love to see Milton drafted early. He is unfortunately a 3rd day project. Falcons will likely draft a QB day 2

 

[LittleVol]

I still think Tank gets drafted unless he runs a 4.8

That's about what he runs...

LSU has 8 vs our 3? GTFO!

Why not?

To be fair to them (in reference to their win total not to Tennessee beating them), they only had half an offense. The transfer they got to plug their hole at QB (Devin Leary) was awful most games. (He only threw for about 2700 yards… that’s like only just over 200 passing yards a game)

Why not?

LSU has 8 going? Who? Their D struggled and underachieved all year, the OL was serviceable but not as good as ours, I would not trade their top 3 RBs for our top 3. So, their QB can go to the combine and a couple of WRs, and then I would ask, who the hell are the other 5 that are ahead of our next 5 who are NOT going?

We had a lot of seniors return which is a good thing or we would have had more invited. Next year we will have more. GBO!

NFL loves a big arm. I hope Joe can prove his doubters wrong!

There is nothing Milton can do at the NFL Combine to prove his doubters wrong. The underwear olympics is where Milton is at his best.

The combine is where AR proved his worth.

Just saw a mock draft, had Jaylan Wright going 2nd round to Dallas.

just googling their guys

QB Daniels, no brainer.
WR Nabers, no brainer.
WR Brian Thomas Jr, 1100yds, 17 TDs (lead the nation). seems pretty straight forward.
C Charles Turner. don't know anything about this guy beyond him being a multi year starter for 40 career games
DT Jordan Jefferson. not much here. transfer.
DT Maason Smith, was a 5star with great freshman year. injury shortened 2022, got better the more he played in 2023. seems like more hype than anything.
DT Wingo, ALL SEC, also dealt with some injuries, no question he should be there.
S Andre Sam, started all 13 games as a transfer, 3 picks. meh

Good luck to all 3.

Brian Kelly was their coach. He acquires talent and underachieves with it.
