I dont think so. He doesn't have elite hands or top end speed to be picked that high. Id be surprised if he went in the first round next year.

They really like those guys who can by physical...Julio Jones, Ashlen Jeffrey, AJ Green, Da'Rick Rogers....it is all the rage these days in the NFL. They are looking more for power forward looking bodies than the leaner guys

I doubt Alshon Jeffery goes in the first round. Aj Green and Julio Jones both got off defenders a lot better than Darick does.

No. But true game changers make plays when they count. The catch against Vandy was one of those, but as I said.

So..... He should just go shoot himself? You expecting no success this year? Did you play sports? Do you get christmas presents? You ever enjoy anything?

Julio and AJ were like the 4th and 6th pick in this last draft right? The Falcons traded up to get Julio. Those guys are all the vogue these days. I bet you that Ashlen Jeffries is a top-10 pick this year

Valid point but it also works to his advantage as much as his disadvantage.

How can drawing double teams on practically every play and all passing downs be an advantage?

I personally think Hunter is the better player and better guy in the locker room. I think if he had stayed healthy and DR had been injured UT would have won another game or two. That said, I feel for the guy and the frustration he must have experienced at times.

UK in particular boxed him in. They sold out to stop him and it worked.

You are looney as a tune if you don't think Jeffery goes in the first round. He will go in the first half of the first round...easy! Plus he knows how to pump gas!

His advantage being the only good experienced WR available meant the QB is looking for you.

I,agree with most of the middle paragraph.

There is no way Alshon Jeffrey is a top 10 pick. He will be lucky to go in the first round. Aj Green and Julio are faster than Darick. Darick doesn't have elite speed for a reciever. I remember back in the 40 competitions when Milton won it, he was cracking on Daricks time.

When you put DaRick out there with Hunter and Patterson, he will be getting off the defenders a lot better,,,,cause there won't be two of them hanging on him...lol

Again, so all of the games Eric Berry played in and lost were meaningless as well?

And please dont respond with: "You idiot! Can't you read my words?" Because I did and they were a complete contradiction.

I guess Rogers should know the games they are going to win and lose before hand and perform accordingly next year. But not if it's against Vandy or Kentucky because that doesn't count.

Agree here. He is not in same mode as J Jones or Green.

The Da'Rick hate on this board baffles me! If these stats were under any other WR name, you haters would be screaming 1st round pick lock. And oh btw, these are the stats of a true sophomore against SEC defenses.

67 catches 1040 yards 15.5 average 9 TD

Hah yea but some teams put one defender on him and shut him down. You can't do that to Hunter. Thats why Hunter is elite, he dominates man coverage.

I'm not looney and it would not surprise me a bit if he was picked later. He dropped balls and never looked very sharp running routes. He's big and athletic but his skills do not look all that polished.

Also, his production dropped off after they lost Lattimore unlike DR's the went up after Hunter went down. My interpretation of that is that he could not handle the additional defensive focus as well.

To answer your question, I have no idea. I do know he just had a great year when he was the only option UT had for much of it. It is hard to post those numbers in the SEC... and even harder when the second best option is a true Fr, converted RB, or Z Rogers. I'm not really knocking ZR either. He's a role player on a good team... not a #2 WR.

Your post seems tainted by the assumption that he was poison to the team. Maybe he was just the most vocal of the underclassmen who were frustrated with the lack of leadership from many of the upperclassmen? Maybe he was tired of getting double teamed with no one else really developing behind him? Maybe.... just maybe there is a reason a coach was paid to "retire" and the player is still on the team and by all official reports still in good standing?

Just a question. He did have troubles with the fan base and he seemed to give a lack of effort. Then there is the charlie debacle. I want him to do well. Part of me wants to say as he goes, UT goes because no matter what hunter will be double teamed. Hunter is you much of a challenge to not double team. So I think I will say as rogers goes UT's passing game goes. It could be he was very well angry from not getting the ball. That doesn't give the right for lack of effort though.
