You obviously are not familiar with the "austin mentality". They think of him like the jorts crowd thinks of tebow.

If this way down the way I thought it did...the Broncos essentially gave up the B.Marshall compensation to trade up and take Tebow. IMO, thats significantly worse than JAX taking a hard nosed DT 25 picks too high. Denver could've had one of the top 10 players in the entire draft in Clausen...but they took Tebow. Hilarious!

And the guy JAx took in the top 10 people even know at all?

nope, after workouts and everything he's pretty much been 2nd-3rd round at best

case of big name college player doesnt necessarily translate to high draft pick

Yes but normally more than 2 safeties get drafted in the first and he's easily in the top 3 (not ahead of thomas and berry though).

why all the love for Jimmy clausen. I live not far from ND. Most of the ND fans here dont think he is that great.

Most of the ND fans are sour about so much losing. He was a food to great college QB. He overcame a lot. I think he got shook up pretty bad early in his college career and it took a while to get over it. Clausen has the tools to be a top 10 pick. This is a DEEP draft...that figures into it, too. I'd have Bradford 1 but Clausen would a VERY close 2.

i figure; but at the same time, you should be treating them just the same as the UF fans had Tebow not been drafted in that weird scenario by Denver: he wasn't expected to go that high...so what?

look, based off what the scouts said and his workouts, he just didn't end up doing well enough to be a 1st rounder; name alone doesnt raise that

he'll get picked in the 2nd or 3rd easily

Ummm...maybe. I knew who he was, but thats just 1 dude. Alualu graded out at late 1st-early 2nd. Tebow shouldn't have sniffed the 2nd round based on talent. He's a winner and a hell of an athlete....but he just doesn't translate to the NFL...at all.

I'm not saying I'm a scout or that he should have been picked (even though there were worse picks IMO). I'm just saying that I'm surprised he's still there.

My hatred for all things austin knows no bounds. I'm enjoying two things right now and fixing to enjoy a third. 1st, a nice glass of jack on the rocks. 2nd, the thought of Colt crying his undrafted ass to sleep. And soon to be the 3rd, going to bed after sportscenter.

Gig em.

Some team with experience taking workout wonders who aren't very good football players will probably take him. Any opinions on who this might be? :whistling:

If he was a workout wonder, he would have been borderline first round and the titans would have taken him over Morgan

He is though expected to be a good safety who will eventually end up as a starter for his team...honestly if one of the Titans' needs were safety he'd make a great future replacement for an aging Chris Hope

they also dont have a 2nd round pick this year so they wouldnt be taking any workout wonders

if it helps you sleep fine, but he's still pretty much ending up right where he was going to before the draft

ok that's fine; based off hearing his name a bunch in CFB yeah it's a bit surprising

but that's why they have combine and everything to separate these name guys from the actual really good guys

Did you not see his combine? He's a freak, who just doesn't have it on the field.

Ummmm....negative. The guy is 6'4 230 and runs an FAT high 4.3 to low 4.4 40 yard dash. He performed extremely well in the combine (40+ nch vert as wel). I'm beginning to question which sport you're following right now....Mays is the very definition of a workout warrior...AND he was projected to be late 1st -mid 2nd rounder. Seriously....have kept up with any of this man?

I missed combine this year, it was an exam week for me

I assumed that his stock fell/didnt rise b/c he didnt do as well in his combine workouts
