Miami Draft Picks

Looks like everyone is in the same ball park. Lets see somemore predictions!!!! I'll pull this baby back up in April and we shall see.

Linder 2-3 (will start as a rookie too)
Henderson 4-5 (athletic, big n weak)
Morris 2-3 (will look incredible in the combine)
Hurns UFA (Love Hurns, but Conner Vernon didn't get drafted last year.... Hurns has same measurable and isn't as good or productive
Porter UFA
Perryman (please no) 3-4
O'Donnell 6
 
Linder and Hendo go round 2.

Morris round 4-5

I think Hurns sneaks into the 3rd

Perryman goes 4

Robinson and Porter UDFAs
 
I don't know man. I think Hurns made himself some money this year. He flashed some speed that we didn't know he had. Actually beat FSU and some other defenses deep, which was surprising to me.

If he measures anywhere near his listed height (6'3") and runs 4.5 or lower I think he'll get a shot.

I'd say one of the knocks on him is that he doesn't play like a big WR. I don't think I've ever seen him jump up and snatch a ball out of the air with a DB draped on him.
 
most in the 3rd...

Linder and perryman ( he goes) could sneak into 2nd rounds with great combines

Hurns is the deal of the draft...needs a great combine, speed and hands will get him a early 3rd no worse than 4th

Henderson..well I like him as a 2nd round guy, the SEC is dumping like 15 Olineman in the draft this year..so he has to work hard but I think with his size and a great combine, 225 bench over 30 and his agility he is our highest pick...could shock a few.

Morris has looked better the last few games and appears healthy. I haven't been cursing as much at my TV the last few games so the proof is on the pudding.

Connor use to big boy our DBs for balls all the time. Don't get that kid not getting drafted last year. Homeboy is the ACC alltime leading WR.. Agree on Hurns speed though, seems deceptive

Yeah, and our DB's weren't really terrible either. DVD and Harris were both NFL guys. (I guess)

Does he get any action in the NFL?

i lol @ Connor Vernon being better than him.

Thing he has going for im

* Plus size..legit 6'1-6'3 guy imo
*Route running ability..kid can run the route tree no problem. If you can recall he would go over middle as well
*Production..he produced consistently here. And has film against LEGIT nfl guys, VT cbs.FSU guys just from this yr.
*Miami pedigree. You guys always under value that when it comes to nfl scouts.We have that going for us. That alone gets him drafted.

*things he can help excel his stock..the right agent, and getting into one of the correct senior bowls, which i see him maybe getting an invite.
That 40 time....if dude runs a 4.5 hes a lock for mid rounds. Him weighing in @ 6'2 195-205 and running that gets him 3-5th round

I guarantee he interviews well, and dont forget his former o.c is in J'Ville, Chud is a HC, Highsmith is a scout those are guys that look out for the U players up there just off head.

Hurns goes off in this bowl game like he has been doing and lookout.

i rep for s.fla and was happy for connor vernon but.............


dude measured in at 6'0 196 and ran a 4.68 40 yd dash. Off the combine his draft grade of a 55 hinged on a UDFA type guy which is what he was. He had great hands though, Duke's guys put up numbers with Cutclife so i dont watch that stat much.

Hurns schooled a few nfl calibur cbs in his times...not catch bubble routes all game.
 
You could probably drop everybody one round and be closer to accurate. That's the trend on specialized message boards.

got picked up by the Raiders as a UFA and got released. Not sure where he's at now. Dude is savvy receiver that runs clean routs and doesn't drop anything…I'm sure we'll see him on sundays soon. Hope Hurns go's high. Him, O'donnell and Linder are the only seniors i hate to see go

I've noticed in the past that these boards usually overvalue how high our players will go.

Despite his physical gifts, Henderson will slip to 6-7th rounds.
NFL GM's know how to use anything negative issues like poor character and work ethic against a player for their gain.
And Henderson has had character issues in the past.. He's also failed to beat out less talented players. This does not bode well come draft time.
His only saving grace may be that he was coached by Golden who NFL personnel respect as a developer of men.

True. But you can bump it up two rounds if you are projecting their actual production. Miami kids consistently overperform their draft spot.

WTF @ Feliciano. I'm counting on his presence on next year's line.

We do both. Overvalue and undervalue.

They thought Ryan Hill would be drafted and DVD wouldn't. Also thought Brandon Harris was a 1st rounder.
They thought Vernon would never play in the league.
They thought Javarris James was slow and would never play in the league. (he ran a 4.5 at the combine)
They thought Allen Bailey would be a 1st rounder cause of his stature.
They thought Orlando Franklin was a scrub.
They thought Damien Berry would be a good NFL running back.

This is why so many of us look shocked with how our players do in the league, whether they're doing bad or good. Our evaluation skills suck apparently.
