It isn't an exact corollary, of course, but I would not mind being the 102nd, Troy Franklin, 108th, Khyree Jackson, 109th, Brandon Dorlus, 111th, Evan Williams, or 125th, Bucky Irving, best player in college football. Look at the stats over the years and 1st round picks do get re-upped more than players drafted in later rounds but not by much. So happy that Troy is together again with Bo. McCaffery who went ahead of Troy has the name but not the talent. Playing in an easily adaptable system in Denver should be a great fit. Bo being the QB red-headed stepchild of this draft will just motivate him to excel. Mel Kiper said that with 61 starts Bo does not have much upside. This is from the guy who bemoans players leaving college too early and not having enough experience. I have flushed the ESPN coverage in favor of the NFL Network and fewer knee-jerk commentators. I like the fit for all of Oregon's 4th round draft picks except for Brandon Dorlus headed to the dysfunctional Falcons. It is NFL hell in Aiken. SC with Atlanta and Charlotte being the 'hometown' teams with tripe broadcast into your home every Sunday. I guess it could be worse. I could live in Dallas. Echoing Charles's take on the effect NIL has had on CFB and the draft, The Mercury News (paywall) today quoted Niners GM, John Lynch: NIL convinced 83 players who would have been on the Niners draft board to play another season in college. Go DUCKS!

Beats the alternative?

Great thought. He has a chance to start at guard.

I apologize for not being able to read the roster's fine print. How were the teams divided? By draft or otherwise. Thank you. What happened to the DB transferring in from Duke?

CBS Much Too Early 1st Round 2025 NFL draft has eight players being selected from the B1G. Notably, 6 of the 8 first-rounders are Buckeyes.

Denver has 7 picks left in the 2024 draft, many the opportunity to bring in WR help for Bo. This is a deep WR group. Reuniting with Troy would be nice.

Bo was "underwhelming at Auburn?" Playing for Dilly, Bo was the SEC Freshman of the Year. This was 'underwhelming?' Broncos make a needed, but surprising, selection with No. 12 pick WWW.YARDBARKER.COM A sixth QB has come off the board, and the Broncos are indeed among the teams which have added a new signal-caller. I trust Sean Payton's opinion more than some obscure 'journalist.'

Bo, whoever Clark Dalton may be please make him eat his words. "Freeze up/" Like leading the Ducks to a game-tying FG (Oops) in Seattle at the end of the 4th quarter?

Coach Payton is happy to have Bo as a Bronco. Sean Payton compares first-round pick to this division rival WWW.YARDBARKER.COM The Broncos weren’t deterred when they saw five quarterbacks get drafted over the first 10 picks of the 2024 NFL Draft. They apparently still were able to get their guy.

He is an SEC guy through and through including his prediction that there was no way could beat Bama and no way Michigan could beat Bama. The 'new B1G' is ahead of the 'new SEC' through the pick Nix.

Perfect fit for BO. HUZZAH!

At Wisconsin will be the 8th game in a row without a break. A week off before the last game of the season makes sense, right?

He was in De-Nile.

Michigan could eclipse UGA's draft record. Ranking the Top College Football Programs Represented in the 2024 NFL Draft BLEACHERREPORT.COM While most analysis in the aftermath of the 2024 NFL draft will be forward-looking projections, plenty of college football programs will be taking a victory… UW is No. 2 in this prediction with 11 guys drafted. Only 1, Penix, did DeBoer bring to UW. No wonder DeBore split and will he come close to sustaining Saban's draft prowess at Bama. There was a reason why Danno was the Tide's 1st choice.

An update on the recent meeting of the playoff poohbahs. No consensus on what the format will look like in 2026. College Football Playoff committee solves Army-Navy quagmire, mocks expanded 12-team field - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM The CFP management committee failed to advance on key details, however The 2026 format will likely be less collegial than deciding on how the Army vs Navy game (both now members of the AAC) will be dealt with. There is confirmation that come 2026 there will be no representative from the Pac-12 (2.) The major issue, how the money will flow come 2026, has already been decided in favor of the B1G and the SEC. The B1G and the SEC will dictate how the structure of the PO format come 2026.

CBS Sports says the B1G best look out for the Ducks. Oregon spring game will provide first look at Ducks team chasing history in Year 1 as Big Ten member - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Oregon has one of the most talented rosters in the country but need to improve at the margins I do not believe that Oregon's move into the B1G will resemble that of the other Newbies. A+M? Oregon will not go 6-2 because the B1G man-up and plays 9 conference games. IMO, the worst case for Oregon in 2024 would be 7-2 in-conference and 10-2 overall.

What more can "Oregon" do than hose Lane County and Eugene/Springfield small businesses out of approximately $8M, and cost Oregon merchandise, parking, concessions, etc. income, by handing the Beavers a home game that will be the most-watched game if people can tune in, that OSU will play in 2024? The Ducks should show up in Corvallis with an 'S' on the helmet for 'SUCKERS.'

What a long strange trip it's been. But, Jaden ended up at a place that champ-wise is not UGAly.

The Chargers, who have the fifth overall pick, are no... Please, get the annual Jock Auction over and done with.

I don't get 'This?' Daniels instead of Williams, why? Both won the Heisman Trophy but winning it from the Pac-12 recently is more difficult than winning from the SEC. Daniels set all kinds of records on O and he also lost 3 games with a surrounding cast that includes 3 WRs who will be taken in the first two rounds. Williams in 2023 had no WRs close to the quality of the LSU receivers. WR Singer transferring in from Arizona was supposed to light it up and did not do so; Singer has transferred to Utah. The SC OL was a sieve compared to the LSU OL. And looking at the shoot-outs in the SEC today, please stop with the SEC plays D like no other conference. Any draft pick is a crap shoot. Especially at the QB position. See: Mac Jones. Many successful QBs have come from the lower rounds including the GOAT, 6th-round pick Tom Brady.

Die Ducks Die! This message is brought to you by Weight Watchers. Corvallis? Where folks 'in shape' go to die? Does Rob Mullens have any concern at all over what Ducks fans, who have the guts to trip to Resar on 9/14, will face from these unspooled fools? Will anyone be surprised if the Oregon players' buses are rock and rolled or worse? Cretin-like decision-making by an Athletic Department being robbed by a bunch of Beavers.

Caleb Williams a Johnny Manziel? Johnny Football is one of the All-Time busts. Rookie salaries in the NFL are purposely held down so more money will be available for the veteran players. The Owners are happy with this as it helps with salary cap management. (What will a college bargained-for agreement look like? More money for experienced older athletes employed by their university?) There is a Draft blowing in tonight and the NFL marketing crew will make certain that the draft like everything NFL, is brilliantly marketed; every team will be adding sure thing great players, right? WRONG! On average, only one-third of the players selected in the first round will have their rookie contracts extended by the team that drafted them.
