T.J. Tampa projected as first round pick going into NFL Combine

[CRcyclone6]

Bleacher Report has him to the Colts, pick #151.

What the hell is going on right now? Is he even going to get drafted at this point?

 

[Dandy]

A punter went before Tampa…

 

[Darius Bieber]

A punter went before Tampa…

From Iowa no less

A punter went before Tampa…

It was the Bears...so does that even count?

Yes. Most people just don’t go by ESPN’s rankings. Each NFL team actually has their own.

was his time to slow

Yes. Most people just don’t go by ESPN’s rankings. Each NFL team actually has their own.

His odds of making it in the NFL are going down with every pick that goes by. Once you get into rounds 5-7 its full of guys who never end up sniffing an NFL roster.

It’s something else. Multiple DBs have been drafted who had slower times.

He’s literally the same player if he’s drafted in the first or undrafted. Him and the NFL decides if he makes it, not his draft position.

I think it’s pretty obvious that NFL teams think Iowa State’s defensive scheme either does a good job of masking the deficiencies of secondary players, or is just plain hard to transition out of when coming into the NFL.

 

[Lineup]

well they was wrong on Brock so TJ will surprise them all

While true, teams are likely to more quickly move on from a later draft pick

Go back and look at a draft 3-4 years ago and tell me how many guys you've actually heard of or on NFL rosters right now in rounds 5-7.

I get your point that it's all about him doing what he needs to do once he gets to NFL camp, but I'm just stating the facts that the odds aren't on his side right now.

 

[Tailg8er]

Do we need to go back to the beginning of this thread and rehash how people reacted towards me for simply saying I thought he was a 2nd or 3rd rounder? So all I was saying is that I didn't think he was a 1st round player... and just got ridiculed for it.

Ok? Have fun with your victory lap while TJ keeps falling, I guess.

 

[NoCreativity]

A tackle from B.C. just went. Not so bad I guess, Boston College has put a few guys in the league.

Edit......British Columbia has more guys drafted than us now??

Given the ineptitude of their offense, punting is a top priority for the bears.

[Darius Bieber]

Ooof now Halfbacks/fullbacks are getting drafted.
