I have been traveling, so I haven't been on the site much, so my apologies if this was covered: what are your thoughts on Thaddeus Gibson? I have seen him projected anywhere from the 2nd to 4th rounds ... was it a big mistake leaving school early? I would have to assume he was a safe-bet first rounder next year if he stayed.

Like Brady Quinn hurt Jimmy Clausen, Vernon Gholston is hurting Thad.

No guarantee of there being a NFL season next year. Smart move by him to get paid now, instead of risking it.

Interesting take, I hadn't thought of that actually.Sage wrote: Like Brady Quinn hurt Jimmy Clausen, Vernon Gholston is hurting Thad.

Forget getting paid. What about making an impact in the NFL. Why like the bench???? Thad is being hurt by Vernon in a way, but then again I think he should have stayed. Why leave early to be a 2nd rounder or later.

Wow...he slips out of the 3rd Round. He has to get Drafted in the 4th.

I thought Coleman would be drafted by now. Not many Bucks available this year, but when's the last time no Buckeyes picked in the first 3 rounds?

When is the last time a player from Ohio U was drafted before the first player from OSU? I am going to guess never.

Ok can we all just be realistic for a second? There is not going to be a lockout in 2011, at least not one that jeopardizes the draft or season. The NFL makes way too much money and can't afford a lockout and both parties know it. The labor issue will be resolved before the 2011. It's a fun thing to talk about, but there's just too much money at stake to allow it to happen.LJ wrote:If there is a lockout no one is going to get paid :rolleyes:77Legend wrote: So there will be no NFL Draft 2011?

Steelers nab him in the 4th. I'm glad with that pick, I think he will fit in well!!

Mistake to leave. If he was going to be a first rounder then I could see it, but just a dumb decision on his part.

He probably couldn't have ended up in a better place though.

I know absolutely nothing about Gibson's academic body of work (he may be a potential Rhodes Scholar for all I know) - but as a whole, an amazing number of the borderline NFL bailouts do so with a eye toward impending doom in terms of grades - or an utter distaste for the classroom work.

Pro football has had a history of lockouts over the years. And there's a big issue on pensions for the older players.krazie45 wrote:Ok can we all just be realistic for a second?

While you are correct, the last one was way back in the Rozelle era. The game has changed A LOT since then, and makes way more money these days. There's a lot more at stake then in any of the previous lockout situations.Footwedge wrote:Pro football has had a history of lockouts over the years.

Well, that sucks, but it also means that the 5 time defending Big Ten Champion and defending Rose Bowl Champs are returning most of their team.
