JTrain Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 1960 None 1962 None 1969 7/177 - James Hawkins 12/306 - Dick Davis 2009 5/158 - Cody Glenn 6/193 - Matt Slauson 7/228 - Lydon Murtha 2008 5/142 - Zack Bowman 5/164 - Carl Nicks 6/197 - Bo Ruud These are the five worst seasons of the modern era. CBS Sports predicts Eric Martin in 6-7, Kyler Reed and Daimion Stafford in 7, and Maher, Burkhead and Compton as 7-FA. But look at the year after each of these three recent horrendous drafts. 1970, 2009 and 2010... pretty good results. 1 Quote Link to comment

Haspula Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 If Burkhead can find a way to sneak into the draft, then that will be 4 players which should be OK Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 If the Huskers have a weak draft it just means that all the best players are still on the team, right? I think I will go with that. 2 Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 So, we didn't have anyone drafted in the first round. At least this kid didn't go to Nebraska... http://blog.masslive...pick_dee_m.html Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 IMO, shows how lacking in talent we truly were. The team and staff did a great job in getting us the wins. In regards to talent, we have been swimming in the shallow end of the pool. I hope this year we get in the deep water. As Zoogies mentioned above, Rex is our top prospect and might go 7 or FA?! Saw where Michicken and Hoke already have 5 of the 2014 top 150 as commits............ Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 If Burkhead can find a way to sneak into the draft, then that will be 4 players which should be OK Isn't he our top prospect? Not according to OP's post Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Oh, right. So if all our guys are marginal late round prospects then we might have nobody drafted. Or we could have a bunch. I'm going to guess in the middle and maybe we sneak in three. I do think Rex is #1 though and goes before round 6 surely.. CBS got this one very wrong. Burkhead-5, Reed-7, Martin-7.

HuskerNationNick Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 If we get more than 2 players drafted, I will be more than happy. Martin and Burkhead were the two I thought would be drafted. Kickers aren't really ever drafted, but some get the chance. This year, I don't think Maher will be drafted and will become a FA. His bloopers last year may cost him his shot. Alex Henry went late in the rounds, and he had a better leg, accuracy and almost a flawless season. Stafford, I just don't see him being picked up, and forced to sign FA if he wants to play. Compton, same thing, even though I believe he would do decent in the NFL. Not your all star LB, but would be good with another star on the team. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 If Burkhead can find a way to sneak into the draft, then that will be 4 players which should be OK Isn't he our top prospect? Yeah but they probably think he doesn't have much of ceiling and won't get much better. His injury also lowered his draft stock. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 They have Stafford ahead of Burkhead. That tells me everything I need to know about their assessment. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Bad draft class + huskers taken late = lack of talent at NU Quote Link to comment
