BBFL Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Don’t think there is better in terms of top to bottom drafted talent than that Miami Hurricanes team in 2002. 16 is an insane number, could build a 1/3 of an NFL roster lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, total as backups, role-players, ST-ers, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this kid as a sleeper pick in the second if we don't get one at 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back at a lot of these national champion teams in the last several years it's hard to find more than two players to put together much more than a four to five year career versus the stardom everyone wants to anoint the Johnny come lately team up north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I think JJ McCarthy is going to end up being the best QB from this draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go look at the last maybe ten national championship rosters and you'll see. I think Miami was the last that dressed a bunch of NFL starters.

It's amazing isn't it? 2018 with Alabama could be strong as there are several out there still going far but that's the most recent NCAA class to have a national championship team with more than a few starters for a few years. Before that it really makes you appreciate what Miami and U Florida had to have so much talent for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 JJ McCarthy feels like Jimmy G to me. He can knock down pins when they are set up for him. But I’ll Merril Hodge it and say he’s the next Sam Bradford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I've been pounding the table for Mike Sainristil since 2022. I would love to see how Sean McDermott could coach him up. Kris Jenkins and Roman Wilson have very good potential, and Zak Zinter would be a higher draft pick had it not been for his leg injury.

That had six guys who have gone on to be NFL all pros. Calvin Ridley, Ryan Kelly, Derrick Henry, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Marlon Humphrey and Eddie Jackson. And then there are a bunch of others who have had decent careers - Jonathan Allen, Jarran Reed, A'Shawn Robinson, OJ Howard and Cam Robinson. Those two Bama - Clemson national title games in 2016 and 2017 were chocked full of guys who have been good to great NFL players. I believe them to be the two best college football games in terms of standard I have ever watched. 4 hours ago, Mark Vader said: I've been pounding the table for Mike Sainristil since 2022.

I like Zak Zinter in terms of value where he will go and talent the best of all the Michigan guys. I think he could end up a starting guard for a decade and you can get him day 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could end up a starting guard for a decade and you can get him day 3. I did miss that team somehow, hard to get good depth charts on older teams beyond just a roster. I had been going back on my cell phone for teams after 14-15ish. I had started after the early Miami run of the 00's on my work computer and needless to say I will never work on a computer without 3 screens. It has spoiled me. I didn't factor in teams where a team had a guy go on to NFL success and he didn't start or get significant backup time. Like the years with najee Harris and others at Alabama - and I don't consider Harris a good NFL player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
