Draft
- Thread starter Chi-Boiler
- Start date
At least I put my money where my mouth is. I also thought Thieneman would be drafted just based on the fact that our D struggled when he was injured. I also think Bough would be like Jason Garrett and stick as a knowledgeable back up. Barron's versatility should have been valued. And many teams take someone like Wright just based on speed. Oh well, such is life. They all seem like good kids who will be successful in other phases of life.
Yeah, the only backups they have to Mayfield are Drew Stanton, who is more in the mentor role at this point, and some guy they signed from the AAF.
I see Cleveland as a bad situation as they already have a young QB who will be counted on for the next 5-8 years. I believe Blough would have been better off going to a team with a veteran QB like Pitt, New Orleans Green Bay giants etc where he could be in the background his first few years
He is unlikely to ever be a long term starter in the league. Better off in a place where he might actually stick on the roster or at least the PS.
p.s. They are counting on Baker for the next 10-15 years.
Had I seen this prior to 11pm at night, I would have taken you up on that bet.
I thought it was a bad bet even if I felt it was better than a 50/50 proposition that we wouldn't have anyone drafted. The payout on the none-drafted side probably needed to be closer to 150 or 175 to be fair. Plus I'm sure no one wanted to actually bet against Purdue players getting drafted even if they believed it would turn out that way.
But props for coming up with something creative as you did!
I don’t feel as bad after reading that Nebraska also had their streak snapped that started in 1962!
Well, he apparently supposedly ran a 4.36 40 at the combine. So there’s that at least I guess...
I feel that many kids read these boards to see what their fans are saying. And I feel it is important to give them as much support as possible even after their Purdue playing days are over. I appreciated their effort and I believe that they will be successful in life even if they decide not to pursue football.
It was in the Browns USA Today section. They had 3 QBs last year and it sounds like he’s absolutely in the running for the 3rd spot. The article mentioned the two backups. I don’t remember their names but they weren’t household names.
According to CBS, Drew Stanton is their back-up. Journeyman from Michigan State. Nothing special. 3rd string is Garrett Gilbert, a couple years removed from SMU and a couple of months removed from the quickly defunct AAF.
They also drafted Ryan Finley out of NC State in the 4th round.
