Any idea why Sanders hasn't been picked yet? A guy named Tip from Illinois was picked before him. I thought he would be a guaranteed 3rd round. Whoever picks him from now on is getting a hell of a value.

The NFL trend this year looks like desire for the beefy tight end. ESPN draft board rates Jared Wiley above Sanders.

LC,

Please tell the young man congratulations and great job.



I'm old and lose track of time. Is he a sophomore or junior?

FWIW, only a guess: Sanders is a little underweight and needs to work on his strength & blocking to handle the TE duties in the NFL.

He is a tremendous talent receiving and getting yards after the catch. So he will be drafted, and he will get his shot. He's a hard worker and I expect him to have a long and successful pro career.

Sanders tested very poorly at the Combine, His bench press was woefully poor. Additionally, some believe that he is not a proficient or willing blocker.

I personally believe that he will now be a steal, but he does need to hone his areas of deficiency.

Sanders kind of reminds of Jay Novacek. Not a great blocker, but anything tossed in his direction will be caught and the YAC will be beneficial to the offense. Unless I had a glaring need at another position, I'd pounce on him post haste.

I'm with Falcon's owner Arthur Blank...in wondering why his GM just signed Kirk Cousins to a $180 million contract and then used the 8th pick on a quarterback? At least Jerry Jones is spending his own money.

So to be clear...ATL owner messed up by giving his GM a blank check.

I'll show myself out...

We obviously had an abundance of talent and these 2 will play in the league. Texas is in great shape with talent.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Good to see Brooks off the board before the Cowboys had a chance to take him. He deserves better than Dallas.

 

[SabreHorn]

Panthers take Sanders with first pick in round 4

Right out the gate Round 3

 

[dukesteer]

Who’s next? Probably C Jones, but I believe that Watts will be starting for someone by next year. Maybe at safety.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Hope this was an adequate celebration for a certain poster

 

[mchammer]

Wiley picked in 4th round too (KC).

 

[SabreHorn]

Jaguars take Robinson

Jones got taken before him to Cardinals

 

[SabreHorn]

Jalen Ford taken by Saints

 

[HoffHorn]

 

[dukesteer]

Who do you think will surprise folks? Although there may be more than one, I think it could be Watts. I just think he’s a better player than we saw in college. Perhaps at safety.

Ryan Watts to Steelers
