No, just as bad then. He was all about Ryan Leaf for example.

He also said that there was no way Peyton would come back for his senior year and was very critical of the Raiders for taking Terry McDaniel in the first round. Since then, I have pretty much disliked anything else he might have had to say.

Our receivers are considered system wrs and Hyatt didn’t run as well as they thought he would.

Considering that Hyatt skipped his last bowl game to avoid injury and to prepare for the draft, then at the combine he tweaked his hamstring and didn’t run a 2nd time, then skipped the 40 at Tennessee’s pro day…guessing that that series of events are coming back to haunt him. I thought that he should be picked up early in the draft, but he definitely gave reasons to hold off…

Tillman is a different story. Trying to come back early from a high ankle sprain is never a good idea. I actually blame the UT docs…after his MRI, they should have operated quickly and let it heal properly. If I remember correctly, everything was slow and drawn out. He was obviously not anywhere near 100%…not even 75% when they let him play. I feel bad for him because I am sure that is a huge question mark for his draft status…

Really hope they get a back to help Tony Pollard, Dak is a little better with a running game behind him

Lot of quality backs in this draft…many in the 3rd-4th round area. Dwayne McBride from UAB or Chase Brown from Illinois are two I’m hoping the Bears have a shot at and also fit the Cowboys.

Yep…. Both things hinder them….. as long as they go day two….they will be fine…. Hope they all go in the 2nd round like predicted…. I would love for Wright, Hooker, Tillman, and Hyatt explode in the NFL….. Offensive recruiting will really take off, imo.

I think I know what happened. Will Levis told his agent to compile a video to send to NFL teams to convince them he's a top 5 pick. But his agent was confused and sent them a compilation of his top 5 picks.

As for Kiper, it's a pretty bad look for ESPN to be laying off all these people and for him to be someone that still has a job. I mean he's pretty widely considered to be a joke, and they trot him out as their draft expert. So stupid.

I don't like Kentucky. I was there when they beat us by 30+ in Neyland. I hate everything about them. I was also there for Halloween when we destroyed them. It was great. However, it makes me uncomfortable to watch a propect sit at an invitation only event while everyone mocks him as he falls pick after pick losing millions of dollars. Those things aren't mutually exclusive and some people are jerks. He's still human and 23. As if you would ever even be able to sniff the jock strap of someone in the NFL.

You think your lil mayo champion Will is sincerely hurt by the comments on here? GTFO. Let people enjoy hatin' on their rivals.

When she realized that kissing him after he swigs mayo coffee reminds her too much of how she earned money that one summer. 🤮

No mosquitos?

Northern mosquitoes are big and slow. You can see them approaching and crush them before they ever land. Don’t go out after sunset though…most of the mosquito repellents are actually tested on the Northern mosquitoes. The Northern mosquitoes were not a problem for a Southerner 😎 The Southern mosquito is a different breed…

The Norther mosquitoes don’t carry the viruses that the Southern mosquitos carry either…so it’s just an annoying bug bite.

Interesting tidbit about North American mosquitoes, they are mostly attracted to type O blood type. Least attracted to type AB.
AO and BO blood types attract more than AA or BB too.

I’m AB+ and rarely have to use mosquito repellent.

Southern hemisphere mosquitoes love AB and less O type. When my wife and I went to Australia, I got eaten alive by mosquitoes and she went untouched. Thankfully I live in the Northern Hemisphere. I literally have seen mosquitoes fly by me to get to her here. They flew by her to get to me in Australia. 😂

I start to think all of the game watching especially in the SEC; against future pros is actually what is scouted for teams moving forward. At least Richardson had games that were productive and they realize the talent is there but the coaching was not. Other than certain factors that happened to Tunsil, Jalen Carter etc.... the SEC really does get you ready for the NFL

We all know and have seen so many misses in the first round of the draft each year... I didn't expect Hooker to go in the 1st, but I was legitimately surprised Hyatt didn't go before the WR's that were taken... the numbers, stats, game tape, etc just doesn't add up...

I do believe our remaining guys all go in the second round. Young and/or Tillman could slip to the third depending on team's needs, but whoever ends up with them in the 3rd will be stealing some excellent players... If Hooker and Hyatt slip to the third, it will be laughable...

I don't want to even talk about Levis... the unwarranted hype on this kid is hilarious, and the fact that they kept running with the hype last night is even funnier. The guy just didn't perform on the field... period. The only way that kid sees the field in the NFL in the next 3yrs is if two QB's from the same team go down in the same game and he's the only one left...
