    ...in 2012, following his Junior year?

    Wow, talk about a fallen star.

    Amazing, isn't it. He stayed, could've been a 1st round pick stunk it up his senior season and now has missed the first 2 rounds.

    He probably would have gone to miami instead of ryan tannahil or whatever his name is. He is going to lose millions on his first contract because of that.

    He didn't just go undrafted in the second round but the third round as well. The second day had both the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Tomorrow is rounds 4-7. The best he can be now is a 4th round QB.

    I'm honestly more surprised that Barrett Jones is still on the board. I don't know what caused his fall, but the guy won three rings starting at three different positions on the O-Line, won the Outland Trophy, and was a two-time unanimous All-American/All-SEC selection. I'd rather have him starting at center for my Saints than De La Puente. Looking at who needs help at center, he could go to the Packers in the 4th tomorrow... the rich getting richer.

    I had a bet with someone on a Duck site from last year that Barkley would drop out of the first round. Guess who isn't honoring that $100?

    Seahawks have 10 picks today (1 in 4th, 3 in 5th, 2 in the 6th and 4 in the 7th). Jones is a good thought. I also like Quinn Sharp (All-American Punter/Kicker combo) with one of the picks (late 5th/6th?).

    When'd ya'll make that bet? Sounds like a pretty stupid bet to make on his part unless it was before the season started, and if that's the case, pretty ballsy on your part.

    I'm surprised Jordan Poyer hasn't been drafted yet.

    Anyone think Chippy drafts Kenjon Barner?

    We made it before the season. I just didn't see franchise QB, because Barkley is only 6'2" and has an average arm.

    Interesting that a CB with so-so size but was a first team all american lasts until the 7th round. Not sure what the draftniks thought the knock on Poyer was. Kiper had him going in the 3rd round. Oh well, with the Eagles atrocious secondary I'm sure Poyer will have every opportunity to get on the playing field next year.

    I'm not going to lie and say I watched a ton of USC the last few years, but I thought I saw Barkley make some pretty amazing throws to Lee (of course that could be more on Lee than Barkley).
