He thinks it is unlikely that Prince will drop that far, but the Lions are looking at OT Tyron Smith (USC) and CB Aqib Talib has legal problems for the Bucs.

 
this will be an unpopular post - but you see a list like that, realize how many NFL caliber players we had on that team...and wonder why in the hell we lost 4 games. I hope Pelini/Beck going forward become as good at utilizing tallent as they are at developing it. 3 OL from what seemed like a pretty mediocre OL? A reciever that couldn't catch the ball in college projects to the top 5 rounds? were we just drastically underutilizing our tallent?

 
His list is crazy!! Not being a homer, but all those predictions seem a little low to me. I say all those guys will get picked but all earlier than he is predicting.

I totally agree with you. Bo is still learning as a Head Coach, and properly utilizing his talent is one thing he has to figure out. Another factor is that the team was largely lost late in the season. I hear rumblings about why, but frankly, it's anyone's guess. A lot of it boils down to personalities, probably - some guys (players and coaches) are like by some but not by all.

This is maybe a good example of how a solid TEAM wins games, not a bunch of great individual players/coaches. If everyone is on the same page, even vast underdogs can put up a great fight. We found that out when we saw a team playing as a team come in and give us all we could handle on our home turf, despite having half the athletic talent and half our size, speed & strength. SDSU came in here to win, and we came in to play a football game.

Hopefully we'll get better at all this as Bo's tenure wears on.

I know the Cowboys were talking about having interest in Prince.

Sounds like they're leaning towards taking an offensive lineman. For some reason it seems like Prince's stock has dropped the last few days, maybe he will fall to 20, who knows.
