'24 AZ EDGE Elijah Rushing (Oregon commit)

Development is how you get to the NFL. Not to mention if the average career is only the length of a rookie deal, wouldn’t you want to go as high as possible and better developed in college for a higher chance of success, as well as larger rookie deal?

In 2023, The #5 draft pick went to Illinois, #7 went to T. Tech. I doubt either player goes any higher at Ala, Ga or TN.

In 2022, the #4 Draft pick played at Cincy, BColl had another top 20 draft pick, N. Iowa had the #19 pick. After you get outside of the top 8 -10 picks, the average rookie salary is the name. The #11 pick 3.2 mill a year, #20 got 2.6 mill a year, #26 got 2.4 mill a year. Would Illinoi's DB have gone higher at Ala or Ga. Highly doubt it. The top 4 were 3 QB's an an edge rusher. As I noted, the only reason for choosing a school shouldn't be just to get drafted. A DB or OG can go to I'll or Cincy and be top 5 picks in the draft. Pick schools for other reasons than JUST getting to the NFL. If you are a top 5 1st rd pick, you will go then just about at any school.

I still think it’s 50-50. I could see him picking in state school with brother going there but neither him or his parents have give any information. I think Arizona naturally feels they have a shot and they do, but coming off our visit and it being this quiet and Oregon not acting confident at all. I feel like we have a shot at a surprise. I think it’s us or Arizona though.

If he doesn't pick Tennessee and picks Arizona, I'm genuinely excited for a kid that gets to play with his brother. Even if his brother isn't near the same level, it's a dream come true to play D1 football with your sibling

Disappointed yes, mad no. Cant get upset if the kid wants to stay home, especially if his brother plays there and if he doesnt want to go across the country
