NFL draft prospects on this team.

I wouldn't say first contact. I think Sims is stronger at the line. But once he gets loose, he goes into ball protect mode. He goes down with any contact to preserve the 5-10 yards gain. Laskey fights for yards down field just as hard as at the LOS. Laskey just doesn't have big play (50+ yrd) potential. Sims could hit those big plays if he would stop letting 190 lb DBs bring him down.

Laskey has had more longer runs from scrimmage than Sims. Laskey also looks much faster than Sims in the open field. Also, Laskey had a 70 yard TD catch against UVA last year on the 1st play of the game and a 56 yard run against Presby for a TD. I just don't ever remember Sims doing that at all the last 2 years.

I stopped reading after this statement. You lose credibility when you make comments like this. Wow.

Days has done nothing of note other than one run against Maryland. But people are still talking this guy up like he is a star. He's been in college for 3 years now and hasn't done anything. Where would he play at the next level?

Deon Hill is a non factor on this team. Him and Orwin were very similar prospects when they came out of high school. Same size and obviously coming out of the same HS. The difference is Orwin showed that he had ability as a true freshman and was productive as a sophomore.

GT fans aways seem to jump on players that look the part but never play like it. I love the adjectives they use like"a blistering NFL type run" yet they rip players that perform at a higher level with comments like "the system created that run" not the player. SD has fumbling issues and can't seem to hold onto the ball yet he's a NFL draft prospect... Really? He's hardly seen the field in college after 4 years on the flats.

What don't you understand by dark horse? That doesn't mean he's a draft prospect. That means it wouldn't surprise me if he improves a bit and ends up in consideration in the 7th round. I'm not saying he's currently a 2nd rounder, as some of you seem to be implying. Also disengenuous to say he's had 4 years with the position change. He redshirted one year at QB. Then he was a backup QB. Then he played AB. That's three years, not four, and only one of those was at his current position.

Plus saying that he's "hardly" seen the field isn't quite accurate either. He had more carries and yards than Deon Hill and Charles Perkins in his first year as a RB. With Orwin gone, SD is my bet to get his carries.
 
And just realized I answered another post commenting on SD by talking about Sims.

Days is a hard runner. He's done things (albeit in practice) that I haven't seen anyone on the team do. If CPJ didn't think he was any good, he wouldn't have switched him to AB. He switched positions for the first time last year. Had a decent game against uga. He's going to give it a run to start next year. And he can block ok. At 215 he's got some muscle.

He's got fumble issues, but so do a lot of pros. Again, not saying he's even close to a lock, but he just completed his sophomore year. He's got two more years left.

Corey Dennis is my dark horse pick to get drafted.

did they provide you with this reliable nugget or did you pull it out of your ass?

Nope, pure positive speculation. Just replace negative with positive and that's all you ever spew. I like to hold out hope for our guys. You keep trying though.

I don't 'spew negative'. In fact, I picked Sweeting to be picked in 6th round, which was my positive biased opinion.

It just happens that my positive bias is much less than yours, so it looks negative to you.

Fair enough, the site I provided actually had him rated as our worst corner. In my mind I just couldn't see Wilcox from GSU going and him not. I was wrong, but it wouldn't shock me to see Rod in the NFL in three years and Wilcox not.

I wouldn't call picking Sweeting to go in the 6th round "positive bias." I'd call that no bias, since most projections had him going 6th-7th.

Sounds like I picked the best possible scenario out of the different projections (6th, 7th, not drafted). I would call that bias.
 
funny thing about the profanity filter, I guess implied profanity is ok. Just look at some of our provided smilies:

I wonder if the overall draft results in general reflect a general move towards..."lowering the cost of payroll?"

I mean, drafting a good DE candidate from no-name U, is probably more cost-effective than drafting a good DE from Alabama or Ohio State.

Just seems like there were many picks drafted from "unlikely" schools.
