NFL Teams Love Drafting SEC Players


Recommended Posts

Not 1 Texas player was drafted this year. That is the 1st time since 1937 that they haven't had a player picked.


Thank you for the info (no sarcasm). I was about to ask if anyone knew when the last time that had happened. I wouldn't have dreamt it would have been that long.

This is quite an indictment of Mack and his coaches. Although they routinely got who they wanted (this class was the best in the state and, I think, #2 in the country), failure to develop has been a constant theme. The fact that the #1 kid in this class in the country, Jackson Jeffcoat, failed to get picked is perhaps the most telling. I realize he's been injured but c'mon! Thankfully, Charlie Strong's Louisville kids were the polar opposite in this draft.

"As is custom, SEC schools and their recruiting grounds dominated the opening rounds"

Strong had 3 players drafted in the first round at UL. He has a solid eye for talent and develops his players. He will have Texas competing in a couple years.

Mack won a NC and played in another. A one point last second loss to Tech kept him from going to another. How soon we forget. Time catches up with lots of coaches. It's why some leave on a winning note.

I still see how Texas has to stand alone against an entire conference. The magnitude of it all. Texas has big shoulders. Funny how Igs never compare themselves to anyone else....even in their new conference.....sec +2.

Good info GCM pats. Who woulda thunk it?

Jackson Jeffcoat has a shoulder injury that limited his pre-draft workouts and caused enough concerns that teams shied away from drafting him. He signed a FA contract with the Seahawks.

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

    • Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
