Other than Colt

no offensive players from Texas in his top 25. If the Heisman is an MVP award, this is why Colt should win. Problem is we can see that the Heisman doesn’t look at that.

This is an article for The Onion right?

This guy can’t be serious.

Colt #11 (heisman runner up)
Orakpo #10 (Big 12 defensive P.O.Y.)
Bradford #3 (Heisman winner… yuck I had to say it, but he’s better than 3)
…. and Ndamukong #6 (Who is this guy? Apparently he’s 5 spots better than Colt)

I can't stand Tim Griffin

He splurges the most lop-sided shithead analysis of the Big 12.

Lack of attention?

I think little timmy griffin must have suffered as a child. Perhaps a middle child? Clearly mom and dad paid no attention. Teachers and fellow students must have ignored him. Home on saturday nights playing dungeons and dragons? Wishing for a life that someone would take notice of?
 
This is the most amusing and idiotic list I could imagine. Clearly put together just to get reactions from fans. If it was the first of April it would be perfect. If Griffins lameness was ever in doubt….

Earl Thomas is going to be amazing

But in the top 25 already? And any jackass that has Pettigrew outside of the top 10 is a moron. BOO THIS LIST

I have to agree with that. I looked at his recruiting profile an it said he runs a 4.5 40, he looks a lot faster on the field. Who I want to see on the field is Christan Scott, he is a beast. Gideon is good but Scott could be better.

Is this a Pro draft?

If so, I can’t argue with much of it. If it is an attempt to rate the college performance of the players, it is a joke.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.

I agree with Griffin...

If you read the article, it says its a potential draft board….he’s not rating the player’s performance rather their draft status, even though the article’s title is misleading…

Orakpo down in tenth is a stretch but I can see that considering the injury troubles he has had during his career.

No, it’s not a pro draft board, at least according to the article. It’s like a Big 12-only redraft league, and what his board would be. No way, Daniel would be ahead of some of those others on an NFL board. Still, Griffin’s kind of dumb.
