    Not me, I heard Steelers Depot talking about him as a prospect. That's why I threw his name out there as a possibility in the 5th rd.

    Yes and Watson. But your saying if any of our draft picks didn't beat Alabama that you don't want us to draft them. 99.99999% of the teams that play Alabama doesn't beat them. Smh

    34" arms! Wow! 4.4 speed at that size is awesome! This is the kind of pick I like on day 3!

    Yeah, thats where I just found this:

    Good:
    -Tremendous length for the position (34-inch arms)
    -Appears comfortable playing press or off-man coverage
    -Impressive athlete with natural movement
    -Fluid hips to open up and run
    -Blankets receivers in trail technique, hard to throw over for quarterbacks

    Bad:
    -Well below-average tackler with technique that needs major improvement
    -Gets off-balance when throwing jab in press at times
    -Ball skills are average for a former receiver
    -Very slow to recognize deep ball and loses receiver when staring into backfield

    I took it as he was saying that he didn't find Dobbs successful against the top teams. Not that he meant that he would only consider him worthy if he beat Bama. It's true they are the gold standard now though. No doubt. I'm a lifelong east Tennessean and have had to deal with the Bama/Vol hatred for as long as I can remember. I'm not a Bama hater per se but I despise Saban and Kiffin though.

    Don't read Allen's Draft Profile on NFL.com.
    "I didn't know how to tackle ", oh my.

    Never played defense before 2014 and will turn 24 as a rookie according to CBS sports. They must think he has a lot of upside. He'll be on the PS for a year or two.

    Captain obvious I know most teams don't beat Bama, my point is I'm not getting excited about a QB who had accuracy problems in college.

    Dobbs is a rocket scientist, majoring in aerospace engineering. A smart young man with a rocket arm. He may surprise some folks.

    What do you do with a rocket scientist degree? I mean really. LOL! Everybody is always like "Man that dude is a rocket scientist!" But I've literally only ever known one single person that studied it in college and he was my manager at my first job at McDonald's when I was a kid and now he drives a Krispy Kreme truck. Dude really is smart though. I've just always sorta wondered if there is such a thing as a rocket scientist because you so rarely encounter one. LOL!

    JH92 can't play forever and Jarvis Jones left (thank you) leaving a spot open and Moats has one more year tops. Better get a mid/late rounder to develop for 2018.

    1st Husker off the board in Nate Gerry. Wasn't a big fan of him, no range, but he will come up and stick you.

    Keep an eye on CB Chris Jones and S Aaron Williams on the Huskers next year.
