Is the one prospect I will be outraged if we pick him at 10. Name the last person from North Carolina to be that good and he's only had one good year of college football

I sure wouldn't mind him over say a Charles Grant. How about you?

Edit: I don't want him either, but I just don't like the "nobody good comes out of X school approach to scouting"

i totally agree with you about balmer, i don't want him at all at 10.

Julius Peppers was the only one

What a terrible way to judge a player.

 

[scott88]

Just tell me the last time North Carolina was really good as a "team"

 

[bcdakid490]

Julius Peppers was the only one

Alge Crumpler, Dre Bly, Greg Ellis, William Henderson, Willie Parker, Jeff Saturday, and one of the best players ever in Lawrence Taylor all went to UNC.

 

[scott88]

Willie Parker was an undrafted free agent and Dre Bly is overrated in my opinion

They stink, but great players find their way onto crappy teams all the time whether it be their home state, coaching preferences, scholarship or educational preference, etc.

Michael Jordan

It's the same way with Duke, terrible football team

 

[bcdakid490]

I don't know if your name of "rebelman" means you are an Ole Miss fan, but if it does, you certainly knew Pat Willis was a stud, even though as a team, Ole Miss wasn't very good.

Michael Jordan is basketball and North Carolina is a basketball school

Who cares what school he is from...

If he can play, then he can play...

Rodgers-Cromartie is from Tenn-State, and this guy is a lock for the 1st round now.

 

[scott88]

He just seems like he's going to be a "BUST", I never heard of him before this year

It does seem like that...

But if you read up/research on him...it doesn't sound like he will, and actually sounds like a good prospect. If he has a coaching staff that will coach him up/motivate him, then he will produce...the North Carolina staff did that this year and that's why he played extremely well.

Still, I'm scared of players who have motivation problems...but if you have a coach like Payton and Orgeron...then I don't think him slouching will be possible.
