When we win the SEC these recruits will know where to go. We can win on our defense alone!!

Starters on D: Sutton, Martin, Gaulden, TKjr in the secondary with tons of depth.

Reeves-Maybin, Kirkland Jr, Austin Smith, Bituli, Sapp, Blakely, Bynum, Bates, Berry, etc at LB

Barnett, Mackenzie, Tuttle, Kongbo, Vereen, O'Brien, Vickers, Butcher, Latroy Lewis, Darrell Taylor, Picou, maybe Austin Smith here instead of at LB, Kyle Phillips, and I can't even name the rest!! Then we all now how much we have on offense talent wise!! And our special teams is elite now too imo!! Medley will be improved, great punters in Daniels and Townsend, and a terrific return game!! And depth for days at QB. I don't see this team doing any worse than 12-2 this season. I can definitely see 14-0 too!! This team is the most talented Tennessee team in years, and it will lead us to a championship I know!

Does anyone else not think the Bucs screwed up as much as everyone says with the K pick? Not sure about trading up though.

Honestly can't believe Randolph has not been picked up yet with his pro-day performance... He started for basically four years and was solid.... there are Safety's already on the board who I have never heard of and cannot hold a candle to him... yes, looking through orange colored glasses, but this kid has to be picked up TODAY

Regardless of if he is drafted or not Randolph is gonna end up just like Justin Coleman did. The majority of UT fans criticized him greatly and dogged him while he was here, but he will go to the NFL and end up being solid player.

I still can't figure out what possessed North to leave early when he had nothing on tape to really show beyond his freshman year and part of his sophomore season. Even if he was unhappy, he needed film desperately and the NFL is typically unkind to players who leave early (the exception being phenom type players). Even a mediocre senior season would've put him in a much better position.

From his draft profile:

Weaknesses
Disappointing career with unimpressive production. Dealt with injuries every year in school including knee and back problems in 2015 limiting him to just seven games and six catches. Slow. Doesn't have feet to clear aggressive press coverage or the burst to get over the top. Uninspired route runner with average separation talent. Needs to work back to the ball.

Slow and unable to get separation is pretty damning despite his positive attributes.

I for one always appreciated Randolph. He was the diamond in the rough for a long time.

His run support and tackling was pretty horrific at times, especially last year. He's great at the pass defense side of things though, and he's a spectacular athlete.

My wife ran a marathon in Illinois today. That rain and 40 degree weather about killed her. About half the field dropped out.

Hope North gets picked up because he is a Vol, but honestly its looking like another player making a mistake and leaving too early... why? Kid has no tape.... you almost wonder now if there was something he was not happy about going on at UT...

Even if he was unhappy, it makes no sense not to stay and get some tape. I wonder if it had more to do with the injuries and just hoping that he could land with a team and start over. He was pretty injury plagued here. It's just not a smart move for junior with no tape to leave early.
