bisonwiches Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 A lot earlier than I thought was projected. I bet he moves inside though and makes an impact, in time of course. Quote Link to comment

cm husker Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Great stuff. This is the first time since the '04 draft that NU has had three lineman drafted in a single year. In '04 it was: Sewell (6), Bingham (7) and Trevor Johnson (7) 2 Quote Link to comment

Why would they recruit them? 2 Quote Link to comment

Comparing a teams top 2 or 3 players each year to an overview of the entire roster are completely different. If you can't agree that we have had holes in our depth chart over the past handful of years then I guess you should just praise FS and BP. Quote Link to comment

There were holes under Osborne. There will be holes under Riley when it's just "his guys". I do not praise FS or BP. I acknowledge that their recruiting seemed less than stellar. Some here have regularly and seemingly solely blame the losses on the quality level of our players. I do not agree to that. Our roster had/has enough talent to win the games that were lost. The NFL seems to think our roster was not a bare cupboard that was the regular rhetoric. 1 Quote Link to comment

That '09 D had like 3 walkons starting for it, if I recall. The '08 one definitely did. Good coaches account for their weaknesses and achieve anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 There is a funny video of Harbaugh and Newsome talking about trying to get a hold of Alex during the draft. Harbaugh ended up talking to Alex's mom for a few minutes because Alex was out at the grocery store, and Alex had poor cell phone reception. Quote Link to comment
