I thought he was projected 4th round this year? 2-3 round difference is millions of dollars
So a 2 round drop definitely cost him millions. Ouch
Nah, like I said, middle of the 3rd round would've gotten him $700-$800k more than he's getting now.
And playing ping pong without a net.
King had a great season, no question, but he should go to the NFL and paid at the first chance he gets if he's being called a first rounder before anyone really digs into his numbers this season.
Is he an NFL caliber defender? No question, yes
Did he have a statisically great season? No question, yes
Did Iowa play any great offenses? Maybe one (Indiana was the only school in the top 35 in total offense)
Did Iowa play any great quarterbacks? Maybe one (Cook)
Was the best quarterback Iowa played playing with a serious shoulder injury? Yes
Ranking of the team passing efficiency of the schools Iowa played:
Indiana 34
Pittsburgh 39
Michigan St 41
Nebraska 70
Wisconsin 82
Iowa State 92
Minnesota 96
Purdue 110
Illinois 111
Northwestern 121
North Texas 125
Maryland 126
Beathard went at the end of the third round? Remember when Hok fan thought he would be a Heisman contender? Fun times.
Anyway, I see places saying that the reason King came back to school was to finish his degree. Wasn't the story that he wanted to come back because he thought the team had NC potential? Then they ended up getting beat by NDSU and getting blown out of another bowl game. What a dumb decision.
He made a career of playing against slow wide receivers in the B1G and then got continually exposed in bowl games when playing faster receivers. Guess what? All NFL receivers will be that fast. He's going to suck.
Michigan had 11 draft picks. Iowa didn't have half as many. Iowa fans once again trying to lump B1G success on their own mediocre team.Actually it is Big12 who plays agaisnt inferior competition. The entire Big12 didn't have as many draft picks as Michigan and Iowa. Ouch!

Ok.. That's about as useful as saying Iowa State and Texas have combined more national titles than Iowa doesIowa had the third most players drafted in the B1G. His point was that Michigan and Iowa together had more players drafted than the entire Big 12.
