[Mr. Laz]

Wilson's stock really falling off a cliff?




maybe we can get him in the 2nd round ....... oh wait.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

It's funny just how far Tyler Wilson has fallen.

[Jayhawk Chief]

These player rankings are somewhat meaningless. You have to know the offensive and defensive schemes to know how an individual team would rank these players. Mayock does that on defense but there should be multiple rankings based upon offensive and defensive philosophies.

Was he a major douche in the interviews or something?



anyone heard exactly why he's taken a header?

Yeah, I have no idea. And I don't get it. Small hands can't be it, and every interview I've seen of him has been golden. I can't figure it out. I think he has what it takes at the next level. I'd love to see him laying around in the 3rd. I'm sure we'd take him there.

[Bump]

if we are gonna be stupid and not draft Geno #1. I'll have to jump on the Dee Milliner bandwagon. but trading out of #1 is the best choice now.

[Setsuna]

Mayock is a tool. His opinions mean nothing to me anymore and should be the same for everyone else.

[Messier]

Thought Manuel would be top five.

If we get Wilson I am fine with the smith trade and passing on geno

[theelusiveeightrop]

Mayock needs to be fisted.

[Hog Farmer]

I like it he has fallen. I want him in the 3rd also. I still think we'll end up getting a 2nd back.

What is he being rewarded for?

[Frosty]

How is Star a 3-4 end? He's 320 lbs. Seems more like a 4-3 DT or a 3-4 NT.

My biggest hope is that he slides that far. Or we find a way to get that done. I thought Wilson was RIGHT behind Geno. Like 1a and he was 1b. So, good. Dave Krieg had small hands he did fine. Tyler is a good leader, has a good arm, and will be a good NFL QB IMO. Let the slide keep happening. I'm confident we're going to draft a QB, we'd be lucky if it were Tyler Wilson at this point.
