How Tiny is feeling right now, after seeing JJ go in the first round???

Hope Tiny goes high, but I don't think I have heard his named mentioned once in all the draft coverage I've watched???

Is he going in the 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th??? Did he get some bad advice about leaving early??

I heard last night that he had an "under achiever" label attached to him. That was said during draft coverage.

Tiny gonna be ok! He got game. I think he will go in the second round.


With his family situation, he made the right decision to go NFL!

Go Tiny!

Don't know his family situation but from a pure football standpoint... he should have stayed.

Anything goes in this draft......its been confusing/surprising thus far. JJ didn't surprise me at all. Tiny being a vol..hope he goes top of the 2nd.....but Tiny being Tiny....bet its much later, which may be where he belongs....
He should have stayed

Eh, whats done is done. He'll get drafted and have a chance to prove it, which is what its all about anyway. Guy has been through a lot the last few years from a coaching standpoint.

Which just proves how wrong the experts were. They confused longevity with all conference talent.

My guess is that he goes in the draft today but in the 6th or 7th round to maybe Carolina Panthers.

His contract may be $350,000 or $400,000. WIth that, he can help his mother but it isn't the motherload of money that he was probably expecting to get.

The minimum rookie salary for 2014 is $420,000. That's pretty good money for a kid fresh out of college.

After agent salary and taxes, it's less than that. I hope he budgets his money well, cause I don't think NFL'ers get paid during the offseason. I think they get paid weekly during the season. At least the Falcons players did 15 years ago when I worked at Wachovia.

True but if Tiny had stayed and put in just one more year of SOLID work in here, he would be looking at a couple mill instead of a couple hundred!

Also, a couple hundred won't go that far if you having to keep up a couple families as opposed to just yourself! JMO

And he might have gotten hurt.

Can't help but think about what this means about the true quality of last year's line. Had problems last couple of years being a truly dominant line despite all the hype while they were here. Now, we are late in the 6th round and only two have been drafted. Is this any indication that they may have been overrated, like some have said, and perhaps the replacing of that line may not be as big a mountain to climb? Honest question, no sarcasm, etc.

It just means we were not as talented as we thought. CDD did not do a good job of developing players. Tiny will get the opportunity to prove himself in training camp. Hopefully this makes him hungrier.

That knee must really be an issue for teams. Hope this motivates him, could be a catalyst for a solid career.
