I don't mean any offense, but you sound like you've made up your mind and aren't willing to entertain differing ideas. I suppose you're entitled to your opinion, but when several well-respected posters who know what they're talking about are all in agreement on one side, and you're waving flags of caution on the other, it just comes off as a little disingenuous. :confused2:
4 years ago, when Maroney was drafted, someone posted a video of him on this board and it was amazing! Perhaps you remember it - it was to Michael Buble's "feeling good". People were drooling over the video and then it came out that Shanahan predicted Maroney would become one of the best RBs in the NFL (if not the best). I wanted to post a link back to the video, but it's been removed from youtube for copyright violations. That is when I learned the hard way not to get overly excited about a college kid's highlight reel. I realize these videos are not just purely highlights, and I like watching them as much as the next guy. I'm just being a voice of reason here in the midst of proclamations that Hernandez is an all-pro and Spikes is DROY.

Wasn't he playing injured?Sorry to dissapoint you all, Spikes is tremendously overrated. Watch Spikes in the 09 SEC Championship. He got jocked the whole game.

Not that I'm aware of. He has a good deal of raw talent, but what makes him overrated in my opinion is his lack of drive and his thuggish antics. My opinion of him has never recovered form the eye gouging incident of early November.

I take it you didn't want Vince Wilfork resigned, then. Just so we are clear in how ridiculous it is to judge a player based on a single on-field incident.
Spoken like a true Vol. It's going kill you to see Spikes and Mayo playing side by side for the next eight years, isn't it?

FLORIDA LB SUSPENDED HALF A GAME FOR EYE GOUGINGEaley says he doesn’t agree with those who have said the suspension was not stiff enough.
“That really didn’t matter to me,” Ealey said of the suspension. “That’s their decision. He shouldn’t, I think, get suspended at all. We were just out there playing football.”
Ealey said he had his eyes closed when Spikes stuck his hand in his helmet and he wasn’t hurt.
“He really didn’t gouge my eyes,” Ealey said. “He really didn’t get a chance to get close to my eyes.”
I think most posters here are fully prepared to deal with the reality if some of these guys turn out to be busts. But after the relative dissappointments of the last few years, with losing Brady for a while and the flat performance last year in the playoffs, it kind of feels good to have something to look forward to.
I will say that overall this draft feels like the 2003 draft where we replenished the team for a while.
