Any body have information or insight on what happened to his draft stock. I mean, dang! Seems like last I heard he was headed to either The second or third round. Man bottom fell out on him.

Smith and Stone: Welcome to the Falcons!!

Guys leaving early hurts the program. And it hurts even more when they go undrafted. He shouldve come back. And I don't believe the knee caused his issues. The scouts saw the same the we saw. A guy that jumped early and got beat like a drum all year.

He looked pretty bad in the all star games in January

Tiny's knee caused him massive problems all year. Its really not worth him coming back and ending his career here next year for a team that's at best a 7-5 team. Tiny did what was best for him and UT. We didn't need him here playing at 60% trying to increase his draft stock, and he didn't need to risk injuring his knee to the point of no return. Tiny was draft worthy in terms of talent, but NFL teams are slowing starting to take their late round picks and use them on mid major players. Shayne Skov didn't even get drafted for crying out loud, and he was a boss at Stanford last year. The NFL in late rounds is going for tremendous upside and high risk high reward players instead of solid/very low ceiling players.

He will have an uphill climb to make the Vikings <10% chance. He would have been better off trying to get healthy at UT and get a diploma. Major mistake on his part. Get a degree man, especially if you have health issues.

I got laughed at on this board months ago when I said I didn't think he'd get drafted.

Really? Quote the comment or I call BS. Nobody in their right mind ever imagined that. Could be confirmation you're a nut job if you did.

Did you call Murray in the 5th and Mettenburger in the 6th as well? This draft is way effed up!

I have no idea how to find that post, but I think it is confirmation that I was right. I also told people that Casey Clausen would not be drafted. I try to look at these guys objectively.

Or maybe he returns, get's hurt worse, and can never have an NFL opportunity. At least a team is writing him a check and he has someone willing to work with him to get his knee better.

You don't think he could play for the Vikings? Have you seen some of their lineman? Even with a bum knee he's still better than 2 of their starters from last year.
