When does the first round drought end?

[Allikat]

I really hoped that Butler or Montgomery would sneak into the first round. All it takes is for one team to love a prospect and both are good enough to have garnered a realistic shot at a first round selection.

Alas, the steak continues while the TOE gets all sorts of praise for TJ and Fant (good for the individual guys but vomit.)

We have several players either on the roster or in upcoming recruiting classes that have a shot to excel on Sundays but do we have a first rounder in the bunch?

Downing would my prediction based upon promise and usual first round focus on the trenches and QBs. Purdy has potential but my guess is he is a day two guy more based upon competition from the likes Lawrence and Fields than a slight on Purdy.

I think it'll take a stud QB, DL or LB to get us out of the drought.

Rose?

Enyi

QB's and pass rushers have the best bet so unless Purdy, JaQuan Bailey, or Lima really improve next year it could still be awhile.

Uwazurike or Lima? Maybe Bailey if he has a big senior year. Kind of depends on team needs and how deep those position groups are.

How about we just start by getting one guy drafted in any round? I’m not too worried about a first round drought when we’re currently on a drought of having no one drafted in any round.

Purdy in 2 or 3 years

 

[KHoing07]

Purdy still has at least 2 years left I think he can do it especially if the other top QBs leave early

 

[TXCyclones]

I could care less that TOE gets so many guys drafted. One would think they'd be a lot better with that kind of talent. They continue to do less with more.

 

[Brandon]

I would be more impressed if we get multiple guys drafted instead of just one stud in the 1st one time. Remember football is a team game.

 

[KKramer]

Yeah Mike Rose was the first guy I thought of. Enyi also a possibility. Purdy an outside shot but I would say not likely.

 

[everyyard]

Gonna take a lineman or franchise level QB.

If Will McDonald is as talented as advertised, he would be my guess.

I think it depends upon when those multiple guys get drafted. Presuming we always have at least a handful of guys that are camp worthy, two or three late day three guys vs. one first rounder - give me the first rounder. If we CONSISTENTLY produce three to four drafted guys a year with at least one day two guy that slides into a mock first, I agree.

Same for Scates if he can stay out of trouble going forward.

 

[JimmyChitwood]

If he lives up to the hype, maybe Hall?

 

[coolerifyoudid]

With DBs and safeties getting more NFL love, maybe Eisworth could sneak into the first round if he has a solid showing and we do something special. He at least has the measurables the NFL wants and he was a first teamer.

 

[jbindm]

Gonna take a lineman or franchise level QB.

Not necessarily. Every year is a little different in terms of what teams are looking for and the quality of depth at any given position group.

 

[Acylum]

Isn’t Eisworth being mentioned as a possible first rounder? Thought I saw that somewhere.
