Finally! The Seventh round is here! Instead of fussing about how long the first round takes, the NFL needs to look at how long the sixth round takes.

Let's get on to Mr. Irrelevant!

Gee, I've gone from "Football Zygote" all the way to "Drafted Rookie" in one weekend.

[HPF Bob]

One thing ya gotta say about the Texans...

They had a better weekend than the Astros or Rockets. By default.

[HPF Bob]

Here's your list of Virginia Tech players still left on the board:

Barry Booker DT 6-3, 285
Vince Hall ILB 5-11, 232
Josh Hyman WR 5-11, 194
Roland Minor CB 6-0, 203
DJ Parker S 5-11, 192

[HPF Bob]

Here we go...our last pick.

[HPF Bob]

Alex Brink, QB, Washington St. At least he won't cost a Brink's truck...

[Warren]

Smart, good decision maker but skinny with average physical ability.

[nunusguy]

Decent athlete...Nice throwing mechanics with a quick delivery...Adequate mobility to escape pressure and make plays with his feet...Tough and durable...Very smart and understands the game...Hard worker...Team Leader...Has a lot of experience.

Weaknesses:
Size and bulk are merely average...Doesn't have a real strong arm..Will press and force throws...Holds the ball too long..Is inconsistent with his accuracy...Struggles when pressured...Has some minor footwork and technique flaws...Limited upside.

Notes:
Was a four-year starter in the Pac-10...Holds the Cougars career marks in passing yards and touchdowns....Battle tested vet but his intangibles are more impressive than his physical tools...At most he will profile as a backup or #3 at the next level.

Long ? Just wondering ?

Coming out of college? Yes, I had Long as a can't miss, and I had Mario as a work in progress, who needs to be pushed.

Go to any D1 school and there are athletes with issues and problems. It happens when you get 100 athletes with ego and some freedom. If these guys have had any serious issues, we would not take them.

Andre Davis is from VT and is one of the nicest players I've ever met and a card carrying Christian. He really got ruined going to VT.

Besides Pacman, what other Mountaineer comes to mind as a troublemaker? How many Bonghorns have been busted for the hippy lettuce and lifting TV's? What about the the Sooner guys who were in trouble? Better not take any OU players. Talib is a pothead, cross off KU. Michigan, Forget them troublemakers...Ohio State..Not after what happened with Clarett.
Alabama.. cheating skallywags...

Chris Henry. I agree with you, though.

[Mike]

Glad you got my point and we did not have to revisit the Chris Long to the Raider debate. :-)

Let's add Rich Rodriguez and Bob Thuggins as poor influences on the WVU campus.
