I would have preferred something like "can't wait to show everyone what I am capable of" or "what teams missed out on" "making a significant impact at wideout"" something along those lines. At least he didn't say "id play waterboy if it helps the team"
whoever is posting on Sports hoopla, please mention that none of the concussions Swope had were serious, he never missed a game due to one, and only one game he was pulled out of, and then after the tests they realized it wasn't as serious as they thought. Still can't figure out where the 4th...
but if they stick him in the slot to start out, its going to be almost impossible to get them to put him on the outside. With them just drafting Floyd it seems to be a strong possibility. He will be the fastest player on the team, he could be a Percy Harvin type player. Larry Fitz isn't known...
his best shot is in the slot right now, Floyd is going to get every chance to prove himself. Swope played alot in the slot at Texas A&M, but they moved him around. If they truly were concerned about concussion issues they would play him on the outside.
Its pretty much better if he doesn't at this point. I had hopes that he would go in the 4th round after yesterday...didn't happen. If Swope can't make it, what is the hopes of the other White receivers? I guess Decker, Welker, Hartline, Nelson is too many for the NFL, all capable of putting up...
the draft just seems like an extended version of welfare, looking at some of these names and watching their games, there is no way teams can actually believe that they will be anymore than camp bodies. Its much rarer to find starters that are black this late, yet Whites who have been given fair...
a few more than that, but of course the number has to be low, how else do you expect any of these mediocre affletes being taken on offense to do anything if they drafted defense based on talent?
Too bad there isn't a rival to the NFL like the USFL. The play in NFL has become worse each year...
NO White receivers drafted yet, or dbs. How does Cooper Taylor not get drafted? No one wants a 6'5 safety with 4.49 speed that can flip his hips just as good as a cb? btw Brandon Browner for the Seahawks is a 6'4 corner with 4.6 speed. After the 4th round you might as well be an UDFA
there are 32 teams with tons of scouts that could have done their own research on Swope. They just need one excuse to not draft a White player at a skill position. Repeat the information enough people will buy it. Like Hillis is a headcase. Tebow can't throw.
the only one that they thought was serious, wound up not being that serious after they ran some tests, he missed most of the La Tech game. This is ****ing ridiculous.
Lattimore picked when he hasn't even recovered from acl/pcl/mcl/lcl. He wasn't even a fast back to begin with, like one run...
No, I figured this would be a darker draft than usual, because Whites that are given the chance, tend to stay starters if not screwed over, the Clay Matthews, Watts, Jared Allens aren't going anywhere for a while. If you consistently drafted at 25 to 30 percent and gave those Whites fair...
Manuel isn't going to to much for the Bills, reports say they want him to sit for a year and learn the game while Kolb starts. Imagine a White qb taken in the 1st round given a year to learn in this day and age. Smith to the Jets.....not going to do anything either. They can't have every black...
I am guessing Casey will be the fb/h-back, the same role he had in Houston, even though he is capable of more. I could see a lot of two tight end sets.
Giovani Benard 5'8 and a quarter but I guess no one will call him small, a "scat back" with 4.5 speed first back taken in the draft. Watch him...
of course they are going to say "black tax' despite the fact that he played under Holgerson, who learned everything from Leach, and even his most talented White qbs weren't considered top guys, mid to late round guys. Easy system that can be installed in 3 days. Can't make his progressions...
and he had "short arms" I believe, which would be a no no for a White guy, even at Guard. Chargers "help" RIvers by taking a sumo tackle 340 pounds, which is much lower than what it was.
Second cornerback taken, pretty sure I saw McGuffie burn him with ease in his limited time as a wideout...
They are fewer each year. The problem with countering this with great White athletes is, they aren't being recruited. When a Warren Sapp came out, teams were looking to recruit the next Sapp out of high school, same true with any other black star. Its not happening really with guys like Clay...
another bust, Ansah. Maybe Suh can teach him how to play dirty. Amazing how he lied about his age, no one knows how old he really is and considered to have so much upside, but Hunt is 26, did more in college and did a lot more in a small period. "but Ansah never knew what football was, never...
no doubt, wouldn't be surprised to see Jordan, Mingo, Jarvis Jones, Ansah all bust, amazing that the "experts" are saying left tackle is no longer a priority position, but pass rusher is, when the draft has 3 Whites going top 5. Years ago with the book the Blind Side they tried to make LT a...
Anthony Gonazelez a bust? he was picked 32, almost 2nd round. It would be like comparing it to Brian Robiskie who went 4 slots later in another draft. There are dozens upon dozens of black receivers that are picked late 1st, and 2nd that don't even put up the stats he put up, which was 1200+...
