Thanks. That's where I had him because of his athleticsm from everything I read. However, someone got desperate for a tackle and grabbed him early in the second.

I am representing the Chiefs in a mock draft on a Saints forum. I have been keeping an eye on Offensive Tackle prospects as players get picked and I am looking at two guys right mow that stand out as the second round gets underway. Carl Nicks is one of those guys. Everything I have read on the guy says that he has a lot of potential, but is an unknown due to his lack of playing time. I know he went to Juco after enrolling at New Mexico State. Can you guys tell me why? Character concerns? Grades? Personal issues? Where is he projected realistically? I have seen second round, but after he blew his chance at showing off at NU's Pro Day I can't see it. The other tackle that I am looking at is Kansas' Anthony Collins. I'm sure everyone here feels that Nicks is a better player, but I would certainly enjoy any commentary you folks have about him. Right now my first two picks have been Sedrick Ellis and Brian Brohm. I really need to address Offensive Line soon unless a steal at receiver or CB is available. Thanks!

You sound like every LSU fan moments after hearing that Nick Saban was named the head coach and a couple years later when Les Miles was named Head Coach. Bo is a good hire. It will take a couple years and a Big XII CG appearance/win before the grumbling stops, but he has the pedigree that a bigtime program looks for. I prefer coaches who have not proven their head coaching abilities, but have proven that they belong in the ranks of coaches by doing well in both college abd pro leagues. These guys tend to be hungry whereas a guy like Steve Spurrier, Dennis Erickson or Butch Davis tend to be more complacent. What do they have to prove? Bo is a great hire for Nebraska...
