Richie James declared for the draft too. Apparently, these guys are being told by their agents and whatnot that their draft chances are high and they buy into to the hype. It's usually a bad gamble especially for a G5 athlete. I also get why they try too. There are financial reasons and other contributing factors that we as fans can't always see. I wish him luck.

JOEL IYIEGBUNIWE (sorry for all caps, I copied and pasted his name) Our best linebacker and a beast imo declared today as well. He won’t be the last Topper getting the hell out of Dodge because of Sanford Jr. I expect multiples moving on to get away from him.

Iggy also wants to attend Medical School from what I’ve heard. So that’s a nice fallback for him.

I think he saw the writing on the wall with a new OC coming in. He is a classic pocket passer and lacks running skills/ mobility and has accuracy issues. He is a very long shot for the NFL. The CFL may be a better fit. Jmo.

"In the top 10"? That's still a 6th/7th rounder if he's near the bottom of that list.

No doubt but just saying he has a chance to be drafted so it’s not totally out of the question. Bears always need a QB. They passed on every other MU player I wanted them to draft so might as well draft him. LOL

Usually RBs will junnearly just so they can get into the league even if it’s practice squad. Their body will only take so much damage. QBs are obviously a different monster but in this day and age of the NFL the QB is so cveted that teams seem to be really stocking up especially since the collective bargaining agreement spread the money out and the younger players are more expendable even if drafted.

CUSA has had a strange run of guys applying for the draft.

Driskel should be returning, no? I do not see him leaving anywhere in the media. In fact, some are insisting that he is returning. Like PBP, for example.

Someone said he might be leaving to pursue something towards his plans after college. I don't remember what was speculated, exactly. But it's at least a possibility allowing for the word "might" in his statement.

I think, Owlcountry is that "someone". And, as far as I know, no evidence had been produced. Not saying that this is not the case, I just want to see it before I believe it.

Gotcha. I didn't know where I saw that. Might have even been this thread lol. So much information all the time it's hard to remember where the source is.

Here's my take on Litton. He's got a chance to get drafted simply on his measurables.

It's not the worst decision in the world. There is a chance Chase doesn't progress with a new system in his Senior year. Then his "potential" caps out. It's his Junior year, we see this all the time in Baseball drafts. Juniors with potential get drafted earlier all the time before Seniors.

Chase will get drafted. Where thought, IDK. This is a deep QB draft. My Giants are in the market, but not for another development type. We've got one already in Davis Webb. But a team like the Patriots, sure, I could definitely see them take a late round flyer.

Chase Boogie is NOT getting drafted imho. There are too many qb's in contract years AND a lot of backups have played this season and proven their worth. Litton a mechanics are horrible, and he zeroes in on ONE receiver.. oh, and he's not accurate.

Same rumors have circled around that Brent Stockstill is going to hang it up too due to his injuries and start focusing on his coaching career.

I, for one, don't believe it at this point and have seen no actual evidence to back this up.

Wow I never remember CUSA having so many early entries into draft...Side note sounds like a good idea for Stockstill jr to hang up his playing career...

ESPN profiled top 8 QBs in the 2018 draft, guess who isn't one of them? Not sure more than 8 will get drafted.

Dude... Five quarterbacks are going to be taken this year in the first round alone.

Five quarterbacks have been taken in the first round just twice in league history

1999(Couch, McNabb, Smith, Culpepper, McNown)

1983(Elway, Blackledge,Kelly, Eason, O'Brien, Marino)

In 18 drafts since the last five QB first round, there have been just four instances of a four QB first round and the only time we've even come close to five in the first round in that time was 2011 when Andy Dalton was taken 35th.

I guess if all five of those guys have multiple teams fall in love with them, its not impossible, but there were certainly first round duds in 83 and 99, even in the four semi recent four QB first rounds, there's at least one cautionary tale:

03(Palmer, Leftwich, Boller, Grossman)

04(Manning, Rivers, Roethlisburger, Losman)

11(Newton, Locker, Gabbert, Ponder)

12(Luck, RGIII, Tannehill, Weeden)

If you really believe five QBs will go in the first round, you could probably make some pretty good money on prop bets.

Have you guys been following the draft at all? You do realize Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson are all being talked about as first-rounders? I'm not really going out on a limb here guys.

Yeah, there will be five quarterbacks taken this year in the first round. It's a historic class. That's not a stretch.

Three QB's are going to go in the first 5 picks. Browns and Giants sitting at 1 and 2 HAVE to take QB's, and Denver at 5 is virtually certain to grab a QB. You have Washington (if they dont franchise tag Cousins, but why?) and Arizona (also in the top 15) both set to enter 2018 without any future at QB's. Then you have teams like Cincinnati (if McCarren leaves), Buffalo, and New England (against Belichek's wishes) than are now basically 1 deep at QB. Without much of a stretch, there's 8 teams that have to leave the draft with a QB somewhere...

If 5 are to be taken in the first round, I think it almost has to come via Cleveland, NY Giants, Denver, Washington, and Arizona.

We haven't even had the combine yet, I'm simply saying don't be surprised when one of them falls out of the first.
