You just have to hope for the best for the ISU players since you know those rivals screw up opportunities on the regular.
I can easily, easily see Bailey as a guy that goes the Allen Lazard route and grinds his way into a starter status.
His production sack wise the last 3 years has been near the tops in power 5. I'm convinced he wasn't drafted b/c he still has a little bit of baby fat look on him and he isn't 6"4 or 6"5. His play in terms of being able to hold the edge against the run and pressure the qb is very high level. I could argue he should have been drafted today maybe 7th round.
I was surprised a little to see Hawkbird Ihmir Smith Marsette drafted. Guy seemed like a very toxic teammate and a bit of a jackass with the dui stuff.
How funny is the nfl where Kene gets drafted and he was a role player at isu and Lazard was not drafted. Once everyone gets into camp though in the summer all bets are off. Would be very cool to see Jaquan, Soehner, and Kene make it 3 years in the league or so. Such awesome character guys and reasons we got to and won a new years 6
Bailey will be given a shot with the Eagles, I seem to recall that team needs help on the D side of the ball.
Bailey probably faces the biggest uphill challenge of those three. Seems like a million defensive ends get drafted every year.
Different kinds of backs perform better in different kinds of systems. A place where o line is an issue will rely on backs who can take hits and get yards after contact. He also happened to be here when we have had 2 of the top RBs in school history. I mean where would you rank breece and david?
Depends how good or bad the DE room is in Philadelphia, I would have no idea. Best of luck to him.
If Mike Rose was the big 12 def player of the year is he going first round next year? I would hope he's a 3rd round sure shot.
Remember when we returned Mike Warren coming off a Freshman All American year and all the coaches could talk about were these two new freshman RBs named Montgomery and Kene?
Was this a post or a response? When assessing whether a congratulations was warranted, that makes all the difference.
Yeah, I love Purdy and he's an amazing college QB, but he IS a little undersized and has made some poor decisions and doesn't have a huge arm. Those are all things that when taken together lower a QB draft stock. When every team has a McDonald and Bailey trying to chase you down and defenders that can cover and catch bad throws--yeah. But, I DO believe he'll make a team somewhere -- I just don't think he's NFL starter material. He could improve, though, and I hope he does! That would be amazing, as he's already great. Really if he just drops the "gunslinger" part of his game he'd be great -- the NFL now values mobile QBs, but if you are making bad throws you're more of a liability.
I don't know if this makes any difference -- but I read it as better than most/all of the players at their positions. IE - Lazard is better than most receivers drafted ahead of him, DM is the 2nd best RB from that draft.
Man after next season we might see three running backs running on sundays. That should do wonders for recruiting I would think
I mean, Campbell can basically go back to Kareem Hunt and say to every RB prospect that he has put every feature back in his system since KH into the NFL.
Not saying I agree with this whatsoever but the pick got at least one bad review...
