On A Scale From 1-10 How Certain Did You Feel The Jets Or Raiders Would Pick Star?


Self Centered

Recommended Posts

Man, I thought for sure this would be like the situation last year where the Rams picked Janoris Jenkins just before our pick in the second round, and the Jets felt this year what we felt last year by the Rams jumping in front of them taking Tavon Austin. The Rams are just evil bastards that live to pick the same player the the team behind them is targeting.

I'm still surprised this guy just landed to us and Gettleman not panicking giving up a fifth or sixth round pick to move up to get him. Two days after the fact, I am still in disbelief we got just who we wanted wihout giving up anything especially since there were no first round running backs or quarterbacks for teams to focus their attention on.

I Felt it was 9 that Star would be gone and our fanbased would be pissed.

With that said thank goodness the Bucs made that trade to the jets with #13 and them taking Richardson instead of Star.

I thought the Jets would take him.

I counted on Oakland doing something stupid.

I'm still giddy that he fell to us. If not for that misdiagnosis he would have been a top 5 guy for sure.

I think the Olinemen run had more to do with him falling than the misdiagnosis.

This was a seriously great year to draft olinemen, and all those weaker teams had serious needs to address there.

Definitely. The Oline run, "DJ HAYDEN", TAVON, and Sheldon Richardson helped Star and Floyd fall.

Every year is a great year to draft an Olineman. People acts like Oline is a rare position. Franchise OTs comes every single year. Next year draft is just as packed as this year in OLINE.

A ten, I thought he was gone, Jets were on the clock and I just dreadfully anticipated them drafting him, then the Commissioner said "Sheldon Richardson" I laughed my ass off, and yelled "STARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Heh I was almost the exact same way. I was chanting "Please take Patterson please take Patterson please take Patterson" then when they took Richardson I let out a loud "WOOOOOOO!" and started laughing.

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
