2022 NFL Draft

[Leonardfan]

That’s terrible, a TON of deserving snubs I can think of.

Make a list! I plan on doing so as well. It's amazing how people are so blind to it.

 

[TwentyTwo]

No DB's Invited to the NFL Combine ?? That's Complete and utter BS!! No Reed Blankenship?? NOOOO WAYYY!!!! He should be a 4th Round Pick!!! Nolan Turner?? Sterling Weatherford? Is Scott Nelson NOT a Senior??? SICKENING STUFF!!!! Corvan Taylor (Air Force) too!
..... Guarantee if some of these DB's were black instead ; they would be getting the Invite! These feeble white coaches and Scouts...
WHO gets to DECIDE which players are Invited to Indy??

Too bad Riley Moss declined...makes you wonder IF the powers that be wont try to beef him up 10-15lbs and move him to Safety ....sorry i'm having ridiculos FLASHBACKS of Eric Weddle and Dustin Fox!!! And tt goes way back further than that with John Mangum and Stan Smagala too!!! And they still complain not enough black QB's??

ONLY 4 out of 48 D-Lineman??? Pathetic!! YET ALL 4 of those should be in TOP 10 of the 48!!
....not even going to mention only 3 WR's!!

Combine list is out - while the media focuses on the faux outrage for the lack of black head coaches real discrimination continues going undeterred. 67 out of 315 invitees are White - 21.2% - at this point the consistency should be a wake up call to anyone with an open mind

Off the top of my head these are some of the big snubs to me.

 

[Bucky]

Good list @Red Raider . Lack of DBs really irks me.. Best crop we've had in a while and they just get completely ignored..

Stille and Henningsen are both NFL Guys along that DL, just lacking melanin..

Yes Henningson for sure. S Jack Koerner should’ve been invited too. Also another big one to me is UAB TE Gerrit Prince, the guy had 700 yards, 10 TD’s, and averaged 19.4 yards per catch in 2021. Not to mention he’s 6’5 240.

Knew Koerner would get screwed. Iowa's White Safeties always get ignored. Prince is a surprise snub for sure. I've seen him mocked as mid round pick quite a bit.

 

[Don Wassall]

I recognize almost all of the snubbed names and I didn't even follow college ball closely at all this past season.

Trying to find bright spots, I like the White ratio at QB and TE. The o-linemen who end up having good NFL careers will likely be majority to mostly White as so many highly drafted sumos turn out to be busts every year. Same at safety, CB and DT but the NFL's ultra-racist Caste formula of Whites need not apply is all but written in stone at those positions. I do like the 12/36 ratio at linebacker; even though it's only a third that's an improvement over the existing situation in the league and most White LBs who get drafted on Day 1 and 2 go on to have solid to great NFL careers.

 

[Leonardfan]

Miami WR Jack Sorenson - a huge snub

 

[Red Raider]

Miami WR Jack Sorenson - a huge snub

I agree, but I already knew he wouldn’t get invited so I didn’t include him. Not one single thing has been written about him since the season ended. I just hope he doesn’t get the Thomas Sperbeck treatment, Sperbeck was one of my favorite WR’s ever in college football and he got totally screwed by the NFL and the pre draft process.

Miami WR Jack Sorenson - a huge snub

It's just amazing to me how the average fans decade after decade never question why so many white football players are screwed over and
ignorred despite putting up good numbers in the NCAA. The ignorance of the sleeping zombies is so frustrating as we all suffer more because
of them. They have no sense of racial pride, customs, cultures and traditions. It's Alright to Be White!

 

[Extra Point]

Here's some info on WR Jack Sorenson. He sounds promising.

4/48 defensive linemen?!? They do realize the Super Bowl is featuring 3/8 defensive linemen starters? Also, two of the 4 invitees will be drafted in the 1st round. When a position is designated as “blacks only need apply”, you must be a Super Bowl, Pro Bowl, or 1st round caliber White player to break through.

 

[Bucky]

An Afrocentric Combine Snub List. More of the same BS.

The DL numbers are disturbing. Basically you have to be a 1st round talent or you don’t exist. If your anywhere near the average, you’ve been replaced by a black.

Edit: just realized icsept made the same point but I hadn’t read that far yet.

 

[NikoDuke]

I agree, but I already knew he wouldn’t get invited so I didn’t include him. Not one single thing has been written about him since the season ended. I just hope he doesn’t get the Thomas Sperbeck treatment, Sperbeck was one of my favorite WR’s ever in college football and he got totally screwed by the NFL and the pre draft process.

Sperbeck perfect example of caste system. His scouting report claimed he wasn't physical, his numbers were inflated, and too raw.. Complete hypocrisy because a melanin WR with his athleticism& results in college would be seen as full of potential with a high ceiling..

 

[TwentyTwo]

Thanks Red Raider for saving me the typing of the list! Clint "RatDog" Ratkovich & Zander Horvath will eventually be on NFL Rosters ...even if it means riding the Practice Squad for a little while. EXACTLY ! S Jack Koerner should’ve been invited too.

Miami WR Jack Sorenson - a huge snub

Yes he sure was! Another Jack! Go figure ....

One of my favorite players in college football...complete snub to me!

Thanks for the head's up Bucky!

Looks like a gaffe in their list ....at #8 that Cole Turner pic is actually Nolan Turner's lil' bro headed ....a Freshman WR headed to Clemson from Vestavia Hills AL.....
The actual TE Cole Tuner @ Nevada looks bi-racial....

As Don said 12 of 21 TE invites is a respectable number....

Still bothered ZERO White DB's invited...NO WAY! All during the college season thought this would be the year to finally have multiple white DB's drafted......but like Andrew Wingard who went undrafted...i expect a few players (Blankenship; Turner; Koener; Nelson; Weatherford) to land on the 53 man rosters

Harrison Smith ; Daniel Sorenson ; Andrew Sendejo cant play forever.....glad Eric Weddle unretired for 5 weeks to Win Super Bowl....but his injured shoulder made an an even easier decision @ 37 to Retire.

 

[Extra Point]

Wow! Bailey Zappe threw 62 TD passes this last season.

I've seen him projected to go in the 4th round by some.

 

[Leonardfan]

155 players are supposedly going to boycott the combine due to restrictions related to covid.

Good for them! 1/2 the combine contestants, that ought to put a fork in this year's combine.

Nice article on Kyle Philips. If I had to make a guess right now I’d say he’s going in round 4.

[Red Raider]

Thanks for compiling that list and adding the numbers! A lot of these guys had GREAT careers, hard to believe anyone with 3000+ receiving yards wouldn’t get a combine invite but we have 2 of them.

Heres a few that I think will definitely have NFL careers of at least 5+ years. However, I think all of them above deserve it.

- WR Tyler Snead
- DT Ben Stille
- DE Scott Patchan
- S Jack Koerner

 

[alexios]

Tanner Conner is the one I am most disappointed about, he got some hype on Twitter by draft guys like Matt Miller and Jim Nagy. 6'3 225 will probably end up running a 4.4. That speed at that size is uncommon in the league, only a few guys run like that.
