Eagles got incredible value with that Johnny Wilson pick, can’t believe he fell that far. 6’7 WR with good speed. Dude will be an all-pro in no time. 

I didn’t know he spelled his name Johnny Wilsoñ

Michigan snuck 4 7th rounders in there to pass us, including the 5th and 6th to last players taken.

You’re right the app is listing transfers as being Alabama players. I should’ve noticed Keilan there.

Kool-Aid McKinstry?  Did he play in the East-West Bowl?

They will NEVER fucking shut up. We could shut them out five years running and they would still run their fucking mouths.

Stupidity is an endless resource in Collieville.

Seems like a good landing spot.

[Cairn Horn88 8,260]

Texas had 11 players drafted, the most for Texas according to ESPN since 1984, the year when Texas had 17 players drafted, which is STILL an NFL record.

[Napoleon 8,666]

Not talking college angle, but from he NFL angle…

WHICH NFL TEAMS DID THE BEST IN THE DRAFT?

My View:

Both of the Los Angeles teams and both of the Pennsylvania teams did really well. 
 

I think that several teams got a B grade, but the four above seem to deserve A grades. 
 

Who else?

Shows you how stupid people making NFL decisions are. 

I had never of it before right now, but I wouldn’t base a hiring decision on some promo doc from when someone was in high school. Then again, I will never be in that position.

That should be the main thing to consider along with how he has behaved since arriving in South Carolina. 

But they knew how good/bad he was, so there shouldn’t have been a “fall”. Just being drafted where his talent & position dictated.

Lol! If you saw the show, you would understand. He was a complete D bag. I know people change, but I have a hard time after watching his parents support that type of behavior.

Tigers don't change their stripes, just their environment.

How does your GM still have a job? And is he on some kind of bender? In the last few months he has:

1. Passed on Bill Belichick in favor of Raheem Morris

2. Gave Kirk Cousins $45mm/year, same as Mahomes makes

3. Despite 2, reached for a QB at 8th overall

4. Traded a 3rd rounder to move up 8 spots in the 2nd, then reached with that pick

 

Belichick sucks without Brady

Otherwise I got nothing

Like you, I believe people change. I can’t really say that I’m good at understanding the limits to that change with an individual, especially one I don’t know. 

That considered, it’s more than just that show to me. The guy almost got expelled from high school for getting caught fucking a girl in a bathroom. I know we’d like to think we’d take that shot if we could, but I don’t think that’s really true. Bad judgment. 

Bad judgment is also why he wound up at SCar with a middling college career. Dude can be a turnover machine. Riley had a better answer and went with that guy eventually. 

One of my friends whose opinion I, and countless others, hold in high regard when it comes to evaluating and following recruiting and college sports told me this of Rattler when I asked about him during that cycle: “I think he’s a fucking idiot and wouldn’t want him in my roster. His arm is great, but he’s got issues that everyone is choosing to ignore. “

He’s not always right, but he’s someone that puts in the work to be more right than most on these things. I asked him if he’d take him now as a GM. “Nope. “

I watched the show when it came out.  He was basically Bo Callahan.  His own teammates hated him.  He was an ass to everyone.  Complete dick and perfect for OU was my final assessment.  Karma will always show her face and it was the last 3 days for Spencer.

Yep, and that attitude continued at OU where he alienated everyone. If he has been humbled st usc, maybe he will make it. 

[jimmyjazz 45,893]

I can't imagine valuing Spencer Rattler's physical tools enough to take a chance on him, even as a free agent.  He didn't come out of the womb with a right to play in the NFL.

If karma for entitled douchebaggery is getting drafted in the fifth round, then the universe appears to be rather forgiving of it.

Pretty sure that those are 4yr totals and not fully guaranteed.

Still one hell of a last chance opportunity and a lot of money for a douchebag, however it ends up working out.

Yeah, I know these guys live in a world that goes through money like shit through a goose, but a few mil SHOULD be able to set a smart person up for life.

It never does.  Maybe they're not smart.

Well maybe Spencer and the Rattlers should have come clean on what he did to get kicked off the team.

Fuck Spencer. You know where that cock gobbler is going to end up?

Worthy came from one of the best locker room and football facilities to Mr F minus Clark Hunt’s directional school level shit facilities. He just finally added AC a year or two ago.

And two going to Carolina. If you recall Hard Knocks the Panthers place didn’t look as good as a Planet Fitness.

NFL facilities have never been as good as college in modern times. Why is this even a thing?

The average NFL player plays 3.3 years.  For every guy that hits a second contract, many more wash out after a couple of years.  Once you figure in the agent, taxes, and living expenses, a player taken after the 2nd round would be lucky to have 2 million in the bank at the end of his rookie deal.  It's a nice nest egg, but if you're trying to live off of it the rest of your life, you're looking at about 60-80K a year (3-4% of 2 mil) to live on without touching your capital. If you get chosen in the first round or early second round, yes, that's life-changing money if you can hold onto it.  But everybody else, unless you hit that second contract, odds are you're going to need an income-producing career after the NFL to live a comfortable middle-class lifestyle.

Not for nothing, but the NFL pension also vests after 3 years. I don't think it's much - maybe $50k/year - and you don't start drawing on it until you're much older, but it is another benefit to playing in the league even if you don't make it past your first contract.

Of course you need an income producing career.  HS teacher, car salesman, insurance, whatever.  But $2M in the bank when you're 25 years old is WAY better than the vast majority of Americans.  Let's not understate the amount of financial fuckery that goes on.
