Derek Rivers First Round?

<< < (2/3) > >>

The YO Show:
Like I said, I think his chances of going in the second are very high. But I was thinking maybe he could go late in the first. You're probably right though and I'm looking with rose colored glasses.

go guins:
With perfect hindsight, I'm 100% sure not first round!  It would be great to see Derek go in the 2nd, but what is important for YSU is for him to perform ON THE FIELD.  Draft means S _ _ _.  Just look at all the Browns 1st rounders for the last 20 years.  What matters is what you do on the field.  I grew up hearing about "Ken Anderson of the Cinn. Bengals from tiny Augustana College" to the point I thought Tiny was actually part of their name.  That's because Anderson performed at a Pro Bowl level.  Anybody remember where the Browns Phil Taylor or Cameron Erving went to school?  Derek did a great job for YSU "on the field", now he can do good for YSU again, but only "on the field."

Rivers will be chosen tonight.

IAA Fan:
Rivers is a project at the NFL level, but he scores so highly, was picked-up by a highly-regarded trainer, good bowl showing, excellent combine and then was heavily tested a second time at the YSU pro-day, so clearly everyone knows the potential is terrific. Then he out-performs a Nebraska transfer & has Carl as his DC; it simply does not get any better at his level. The key is whether or not someone wants to "step-up-to-the-plate" and take him ahead of others.

You know I was not a a fan of hiring Carl, with his past; but he is one thing that no other school at our level has. No one can ever deny his abilities & NFL people look past more from college than collegiate fans do. Fans always want to think their program is above reproach & I am no different.

Here is to hearing at least one Penguin's name called tonight!!

Here here IAA! At least one Penguin tonight would be good  8)
