Volympics Draft Results....

Did you notice where our punter and kicker were picked? Darr was DEAD LAST out of everybody and Palardy was DEAD LAST on team Rocky Top. Evidently, the team feels these guys are not only bad players, but they have character problems as well. Time to give these guys the boot (pardon the pun!).:salute:

I really think this is a great idea. I just wonder if it had been in place in past years where guys like D'arick, Jansen, Bryce, Bray, etc. would have wound up. I'm guessing in the last round. It just would have been good to see what the team actually thought of each other and may have shamed some guys to clean up their act. Nobody was willing to speak out publicly about a teammate not pulling his weight but this kind of thing sets the record straight. If I was the father of one of these guys picked in the last round, I'd be plenty embarrassed and would have a good long "heart-to-heart" with my son. Plus, you know NFL scouts - who are known for turning over every rock out there on a draftee - will be combing this thing over as well.

Finally, where is coach Jones on this thing? J/K

The order (kickers last) was by position. They did the whole draft (except for the first round) by position sets.

If you were Jacques Smith and not picked as a captain, will this motivate him? What do you think? Did he deserve to be a captain? Just asking.....:hi:

A couple are freshmen. Jacob Gilliam I've heard of. And I guess the rest of walk on guys who haven't made a name for themselves yet.

How about Darr being picked last?

What does that say about his character?

Idk a lot about him off the field, but I think that's very interesting.

Byron Moore tweeted yesterday that Dooley did the same thing as this, but now, it's just more public ... so, the "CBJ is gonna turn this around with this idea" people may want to consider tempering their expectations

Not one of you guys noticed that Daniel Gray was selected half way through the draft. I hope this means that he will return to the team and play this year. He left school and went back home to deal with some family issues. We need this guy on defense---he has great speed.
