Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[knoxvol52]

Most recent players to have success in NFL on offensive side of the ball are:

Jennings
Josh Palmer( has had a good career)
Alvin Kamara
Josh Dobbs due to longevity



Guess who was Head Coach when those individuals were at Tennessee...

After seeing Ohio State draft versus our draft what happened in Columbus makes even more sense.

Hopefully we can have a draft like OSU one day

That was our best recruiting period though.

And that matters because….

Telling you. Heup does a lot with less, but he also has to get better at recruiting without Spyre doing the lifting.

I have heard the same thing as well. His knock at UFC was recruiting but we have been able to overcome some of that from having one of the best collectives.

I think this a contract year for Pope…but you wouldn’t know it based on the offseason.

Not really. Butchs top 5 classes were not really top 5.

Look, I love Dobbs, but getting moved from team to team and used as a last ditch option is not how I would judge success in the NFL.

 

[DD4ME]

Titans should take Sampson and throw vols a bone after the Levis nonsense. Jmo

 

[SoilVol]

Only thing I can figure is questions around Sampson's pass protection and receiving production.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

He’s terrible, plain and simple. He had an above average career at a place like Colorado, but as a NFL caliber player, he’s just not good. Perfect example of analysts overreacting to hype and now trying to cover their butts.

Bray had similar longevity just never played.

it doesn't sweetie...

 

[SKV84]

Then the knock on him would have been too much wear and tear.

 

[DD4ME]

Texans trade next year's 3rs round for this pick.

Eek RB Woody Mark's

Bummer Sampson

 

[UTProf]

Dobbs is good enough to play for anyone in an emergency. I can't think of another QB that's had a career like his. If the NFL were more comfortable with improvisation from QBs he might've found a place but it's just not and that's his best feature.

 

[DD4ME]

Not being a homer either Sampson has an injury profile I am not aware of or someone is going to look really smart. He's a beast.

 

[DD4ME]

Another RB

 

[UTProf]

Ok I def. would've taken Sampson over Etienne. Not running and being banged up has hurt Sampson.

 

[DD4ME]

Titans should take him. Standing on that.

 

[DD4ME]

Lol

 

[peaygolf]

Love the two Titans picks...............but I hate rooting for a Gator.

Head of SI recruiting - says something

Should've been Thorton

Sampson had better production and a better score than Etienne. They're also similar in size. They compare well and Sampson wins that comparison on the field unless it's an injury thing/not running.

So the Slate ev truck is jeff bezos funded. Just another reason to not care about it lol.
