This is starting to feel like it did with Collin Franklin last year. We all thought 5th round and he didn't go at all.
Will the 49ers take LJ?

I agree. But you'd think a good B12 CB would have a much higher chance of getting drafted than a good B12 TE
Would it be funny if an Iowa State player like Hicks or Reynolds would get drafted and LJ wouldn't? That would be so funny.

Especially after a guy like Brandon Flowers runs a 4.56, drops a few spots, and then becomes one of the best corners in the NFL. Now, 0.15s is a ton in the 40, but considering LJ's success against some of the top QBs, WRs, in college, you'd think he be drafted by now. But what do I know.
Maybe some of these front offices didn't like the excuse that he was slow because he was sick. They're probably "no excuses" type people whether they're legit or not.
And yet another corner rated lower than LJ with almost the exact same measurables gets drafted ahead of LJ. Go figure.
A CB with a 47.0 rating goes ahead of LJ with a 72?
Quite a few organizations are not good at this draft-thing. Hopefully, one that is traditionally good (Steelers - I am a fan, but not doubting they are one of the org's that are very good at the draft) will jump knowing what kind of player LJ is & not going by the underwear-olympics only.
Sucks going in the late rounds, but in a way it may be better to go late but go to a very good team that is also a very good fit (schematically)

well he's already been shutting down NFL type recievers (Blackmon, wright, broyles, mcnutt) for 4 years how much higher do they need it to be. these other guys might have higher "ceilings" but with them it's like polishing a turd as compared to a semi finished piece of marble, sure one might improve more but who wants **** when there's marble there
The Bears draft for speed on defense, LJ had a bad 40 time for a corner. That'll scare most teams away
it would confirm the fact that none of us have a clue what is going on in the NFL draft. ...... which we don't, by the way.
