Purdue NFL draft
- Thread starter ImRonBurgandy?
- Start date
Trice is projected much higher, at least from what I've seen. I'd say we're looking at a minimum of two and a max of five getting drafted.
Fwiw, espn had Jones as the 15th best available and 2nd best wr available. Trice is a couple spots below Jones in best available and I think 5th best CB available.
NOTE: the aforementioned is going into the 4th rd

Oh wow that's a huge difference! CBS has Jones #276 overall (i.e. not drafted), and the 23rd currently available WR. Trice is #85 overall and 5th CB available.
O'Connell was NOT on the list of "Notable QBs still available" just now on NFL Network. I think there were 6 guys on the list. Part of the issue is he's behind 2 older guys already in Stetson Bennett and Max Duggan, who might not be better quarterbacks, but have a better pedigree because of where they played.
A couple quarterbacks have gone recently too now. The Fresno St player to the Saints, and Bennett to the Rams.
I’m not following the draft closely and might be in the minority and possibly piss some people off but I don’t think AOC is getting drafted or has a long term professional career. Least likely out of all the boilers in my opinion
Well I guess that didn’t age well lol
Charlie Jones picked by Cincinnati Bengals in 4th round of 2023 NFL Draft
The first Boilermaker off the board in the 2023 NFL Draft came in the fourth round, as wide receiver Charlie Jones was
BoilerUpload - Aidan O'Connell Drafted 135th Overall by Las Vegas
O'Connell goes to Vegas in an interesting position. The Raiders recently acquired veterans Jimmy Garoppolo and Brian

Durham to Tampa. Trice has been best available on ESPN's board for around 20 picks now.
Gotta wonder. There have been 9 CBs taken since I saw Trice as the best available CB, and he's been best available player period for at least a round.
Didn’t think him skipping the bowl game was wise for a guy with his injury history.
Sounds like Durham will have a pretty good opportunity there. TB isn't very deep at TE.
If I remember right, McDaniels had been rumored to be interested in AOC. This also seems like a decent opportunity. Garoppolo is the obvious starter, but it feels like AOC's accuracy could serve him well with the Raiders.
Congrats to the five Boilers drafted.
Most since the Tiller era. Hope they all stick in the NFL.
Purdue had some great draft stories this year. Aiden O'Connell the walk-on. Charlie Jones the undersized journeyman. Cory Trice the comeback player. Payne Durham the high school lacrosse player.

Only one less player drafted than Big Bad Ohio State. That’s pretty impressive.
The school I work for, Tennessee-Martin of the OVC, had more players drafted than Indiana.
Charlies Jones was also a walk-on at Iowa before transferring here. Quite a few good stories. Jalen was a nice surprise.
Surprising to me that Jalen Graham was selected last amongst the boilers. I think the position change after Lambert left didn't work out well both for the draft and for us last season. He has the most physical potential out of all the Boilers drafted this year.
Graham's combine was terrible for an undersized LB. I'm guessing he solely made it based on his tape.
To me, Graham has always been one of those guys who just makes plays. He makes up for his lack of measurables with good instincts and just putting himself in the right place at the right time.
