Just more evidence of how bare Pelini left the cupboard for Riley. Nine wins with such a lack of talent is pretty impressive.

Only one year since 2004 have we had more draft picks than we had last year. Which would include all Callahan's classes.

But whatever makes you feel better.

talent is also relative thing. Some of the best players we've had here didn't make it in the NFL and vice versa

Today I learned that missing 3 games in 4 years due to injury means you're injury prone.

I'll state this much: This season, I definitely wondered after every tackle whether or not he was gonna stay in the game. He may not have missed games, but he noticeably came off the field a lot this season; "a lot" meaning that I (and apparently others) noticed.

Not trying to knock the guy, just stating what I saw.

A lot of this is getting hung out to dry by your QB so you can't protect yourself. That's a noticable difference from a lot of guys.

Probably a lot of QBs in the league that'll leave receivers out to dry too.. except you get hit a lot harder. Not saying he won't be successful, but getting hung out to dry may not change. Injuries may not either.

Alonzo Moore is a player who I expect to get picked up after the draft and given a chance to make a team. Had a really strong 1st half of the season then disappeared because of injuries

 
Brandon Reilly was in and out of games just as much as Westy. After every big catch Reilly looked like he might be done for the game. Jordan is tough as nails, yeah he was dinged up a lot, but he almost always came back. Find me another guy who wasn't scared to go over the middle and make the catch and pop right up.

I don't know much about draft stock by position but I assume safety is rather low in that respect? Any chatter among the talking heads about Gerry? Pros/cons or anything?
