Worst Draft Class Ever (serious question)?

Yep, that was part of it. There claim to fame was their "great" pass blocking. It was an overrated attribute. And they never did anything in run blocking that was thought of as great.

I knew our Oline was overrated when a few years ago during a SEC game CBS showed a ref actually showing Tiny how to properly line up during a time out.

In 1938 & 1963, we did not have a single player drafted. I'd consider those the worst classes ever.

Pretty remarkable that since 1936 (the first year of the NFL draft) we have had a pick in all but 2 years.

There's only one Tennessee!

No, this is not the worst class!


Think of the class with Robert Ayers. He was drafted in the 1st round and then there was a huge drop off before the next player was drafted.
Think of the class with Dallas Thomas. He was the top draft selection that year and he wasn't even close to being in the 1st round.

Next year, we will not have many players drafted in the NFL but a few years from now it will be different.

Just like this one.

This offensive line was never as talented as so many trumpeted them to be.

Butch was happy to see this bunch go, is my guess.

It's the only positions any UT players were selected or mentioned as 'best available'. Maybe you meant the rest of the team sucked. That would be more accurate.

I'm not attempting to pout or be negative, but seriously, does anybody know just how this NFL draft class ranks among UT classes all time?

It seems to be one more indictment of how horrible Derek Dooley was as a coach.

The "invisible" class that Sabans butt buddy drafted didn't help much either, that jerk was a bust in every sense!

We'll have a few go next year. Lane, AJ, Maggit, to name a few. Maybe Worley will give it a shot if he has a good season this year.

I honestly see this draft as a good sign. Everyone expects us to be bad this year because of the new oline and dline, but this obviously tells us that last years weren't very good anyways. Things will only get better from here.

Maggit will be the same as Tiny with his achilles injuries.

How about that...an OL that did solid in '12 doesn't do well in '13 under a new coach, so blame the coach in '12 they were overrated. Wow some of y'all r just pathetic....it's embarrassing sometimes being a Vol fan after reading some of the "jilted lover" crap on here.

This. Bray and the wr Corp made it look better. It was actually showing in the run game, but it was blamed on blocking schemes and bad rbs

IIRC Malik Jackson was only Vol drafted in 2012 (5th round)

UT's worst class in this century was 2012. I believe Malik Jackson was the only Vol drafted that year. Time to get this turned around.
