Losing draft stock

[Joe Vols]

Our offensive line has cost themselves some major money over the last 2 games. They desperately need to prove they can take over these last three games and dominate the line of scrimmage.

A team is only as good as it's seniors. These guys have 3, hopefully 4, games left to leave their mark on UT football.

Butch isn't a miracle worker, and Josh Dobbs shouldn't have to carry this team. Our O line is just hurting their draft stock right now.

Mcullers mid rounder, Johnson comes back and Sapp late rounder... Rest longshot

 

[bornbleddinorange]

u think sapp gets drafted? And does Tiny come back?

 

[orangeluvr]

If you can't block in the SEC you won't get the chance to block in the NFL. :birgits_giggle:

Sapp can be special teamer... Richardson should be probably won't

If one of them is a "combine monster " their stock could rise.

I have seen Mayo, whom I never thought would be a 1st rounder get selected in the 1st round.

I have also seen Charlie Garner, a 1st rounder, get selected in the 2nd round.

I have also seen Carl Pickens, a 1st rounder, get selected in the 2nd round.


The N.F.L. draft is sooooo un predictable....

 

[darkgable]

In my opinion is usually how most people start off. I haven't read one scouting report to date that anybodys stock has gone down. I could be wrong. In my opinion.

You thought Mayo wasn't a first rounder??

I believe Richardson is a good player and believe he needs comeback as well. I actually believe he will return for his final season. He's emotionally invested in helping UT

 

[Ten_Titans]

Sapp has made draft stock IMO.

No one had heard of him, and he might get drafted.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Palardy's draft stock has gone up the most this year imo..season MVP so far.

Why is this important? What needs to happen is they improve and give their all these next 3 games. Win all 3.

In a way, I could care less about what round they get drafted in. Did you know that has ZERO bearing on these next 3 games.

The play calling last night did nothing to showcase the Olines strengths. Bajakian is apparently unfamiliar with the concept of protecting a first time starter in a hostile environment. I personally thought the D line held their weight in the first half. Hard to hold them responsible for the fact that the back seven couldn't hold contain all night.

Tiny has not a choice he has to come back..

 

[rjd970]

I think Tiny shows out at the combine, coaches look at his measurables, and he gets drafted. Left tackles with his athleticism don't come around very often. Somebody takes him as a project and coaches him.

JMO. I don't think tiny is coming back.

 

[Escape Goat]

u think sapp gets drafted? And does Tiny come back?

I don't. And Tiny should. He is highly undisciplined, and is not even the best left tackle in the next draft. I don't blame him if he leaves though.

 

[865Original]

Johnson draft stock has gone down IMO.. Speed pursuit outside the tackles is sub par.. Good thing for us all potential early draft picks should come back to better their draft stock also to better this team..

 

[Catbone]

I don't. And Tiny should. He is highly undisciplined, and is not even the best left tackle in the next draft. I don't blame him if he leaves though.

Haven't seen you around these parts in a while pardner

 

[Escape Goat]

Haven't seen you around these parts in a while pardner

How you been Catbone? Good I hope.

McCullers has no chance at going in the first round. He has basically been nonexistent. Big let down this season.

 

[knoxvols11]

You thought Mayo wasn't a first rounder??

I didn't.

 

[vtvol98]

They say that it's a bad thing when your name gets called when you are playing offensive line. Rarely, if ever, have I'd heard James', Stone's, or Fulton's name called this season. It's seems as though the right side of the Tennessee o line has done their job by and large. I could see all three of these Vols going in rounds 2-3.

 

[ranradVOL]

Tiny is gone.

 

[chattavol420]

You thought Mayo wasn't a first rounder??

Agree. He was a stud while he was here. But it does all come down to what you do at the combine. We had a receiver a few years back(Chris hannon I believe) that never did anything while here that got drafted, while guys like jayson swain and Brett Smith went undrafted. The cottam's also were both drafted I believe after never contributing at all.

 

[SaintLouisVol]

The growing pains are obvious, and I wish them all the very best in life. But, there is a part of me that can't wait until all the non-CBJ have moved on.
