Only Team Not @ Michigan Pro Day

[Buff]

What does everyone think of the fact that every other team had someone at Michigan's pro day besides Denver? Maybe it means that we think Long before #12 will be gone and Manningham will be gone before our 2nd rounder... Orrr, maybe it means we're going to do something crazy and trade back up to get Manningham or package something to get Long.

Most likely it means nothing and we just aren't targeting any Michigan players... But after we got Jay Cutler out of left field, you can't help but wonder.

I don't know Buff, while anything is possible I kind of doubt Shanahan go after either one of these guys.

Yeah, well if not them, they've got the RB Hart that could be a good later round pickup, and about 5-6 other guys that could potentially go pro... And 31 other teams figured they'd send scouts... It's almost one of those situations where maybe they out-thought themselves in the front office and tried to stay away so as not to generate buzz, not realizing it's even more conspicuous not to be there...

I'll admit that's a bit of a conspiracy theory, but knows?

Because Shanahan didn't hit Michigan with a dart on the map.

You never know with Shanahan, so it's possible.

For Denver fans it is more conspicuous. :lol:

[Requiem / The Dagda]

It's not a big deal at all. Mike hasn't even been to Indy the past two years.

Prolly cause Ian Gold sucked so bad. Let alone Jeremy Lesueur's ass.....that one still chaps me for some reason.

I think it has to do with his name.

(For me, anyway)

[dogfish]

do we go to ANY pro days? or do anything at all to scout prospects. . . . ??



:confused:

[MOtorboat]

Michigan prospects haven't been all that great lately...

edit: nevermind, it's OU, not ohio state. . . that's my alma mater baby! not exactly a football powerhouse, though. . . . :lol:

Take a look at the other players.

Going and grabbing two, maybe three bright spots is revisionist.

what, so ALL of their recent guys have to be successful to make their pro day worth attending?

Go ahead, take a look at the "talent" coming out of there...it's not much.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Besides the fact that the University of Michigan has been long known as one of the best NFL pro producing schools in the nation. . . eh, what was your point again?

[SmilinAssasSin27]

Go ahead, take a look at the "talent" coming out of there...it's not much.

They have a QB, OT, OLB, S and a RB in this draft.

Out of those, we could seriously look at Crable, Hart and Adams...although I'm not sure all who participated.

does Ohio even have anyone worth noting?

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Their running back McRae would be a great late-round pick up.

[fcspikeit]

Because Shanahan didn't hit Michigan with a dart on the map.

Or at pin the tail on the draft prospect :D


I can see it now... Shanahan holds his hand over his eyes, spins a couple times then points and says, I'll take that guy... Someone from the back says,, But Mike, we don't need a QB, Shanahan removes the hand from his face.. Then looks around the room and says, Who said that? No one questions the masterminds scouting method!.. Ted stands up and says, it was me Mike.. Shanahan in his best Trump voice, points and says, "Ted Sundquist, YOUR FIRED!"

I dunno Lloyd, the French are a$$holes. :shocked::confused:

[LRtagger]

The only logical reason Denver didnt attend is because we are planning on trading up and taking Henne in the top 10. Its the only scenario that makes sense, since we did it before.

We'd only have to trade up one spot to do what we did before...
