How do you guys think our guys will do in the draft next year? (Seniors only)

Kerbyson - UDFA (due to playing out of position)
Giampapa - UDFA
Jackson - 4th round
Randolph - 3rd round
Maggitt - 3rd round
O. Williams - 5th round
McNeil - 7th round
Pig - 5th round
Weatherd - UDFA

Guys who dont make it:
Crowder
Ellis
Ashford
Arnold
J.Johnson (due to height). Most possible UDFA out of this list.
Saulsberry

Things change, but

Maggitt - 2-3
Jackson - 3-5
Randolph - 5-7
Pig - 5-UDFA
O. Williams - 5-UDFA

Many of these guys can improve draft stock this season though. Owen has an NFL type run plugging body but will need to show it.

Kerbyson and Crowder both have a chance at UDFA.

Coach Z just visited with a JUCO WR in CA who could play this year according to VQ. He's currently visiting Pitt and I assume they will try to get him to Knoxville.

Name is Rafael Araujo-Lopes.

Good. We need someone in a bad way. If he has injury history he's perfect for our WR group.

He's very small and doesn't look all that fast. Nice stats for a JUCO player though. 74 catches, 1200+ yards, and 17 TDs. Would provide depth at the very least.

I thought he looked pretty fast in his highlights. I've never seen a player get lost behind the defense that much lol

I think this should tell everyone the likelihood of Von being back.

Don't take DGB... Overrated and will find trouble


Strong imo

Completely agree. The kid didn't know how to be an SEC or Big XII WR without getting into trouble, now people are putting him in the same category, or at least mentioning him in the same breath as, Calvin Johnson...no.

This kid is more Tyrone Calico or Kenny Britt than Calvin Johnson.

I wouldn't take him, just too much risk.

Serious question. I like what Butch is doing with our program, don't get me wrong. But I honestly feel like Dooley ran a more smash mouth style and gameplan. I think ultimately we could have been more successful under his regime if he was given 2 more years. Does anyone agree with this logic based on his smashmouth gameplan and style of offense?

Dooley never had a game plan for either Offense or Defense. He let his Coordinators run the show and then occasionally stepped in with a questionable decision or time out. So if you liked the previous regimes' offense, then you need to give the credit to Chaney.

Need a Right Tackle, RB, DL, WR, LB, DBs, TE, More offensive lineman, more defensive lineman, safety, punter, beer vendors, ticket window salesman...

I hope we don't screw this up
