ND players in the draft this year

[notredomer23]

Where do you think our guys will get drafted in 2013 NFL draft?

Manti Te'o- Round 1 in the first 10 picks
Tyler Eifert- Late round 1 early round 2
Kapron Lewis-Moore- 4th or 5th round
Zeke Motta- 5th round
Braxton Cave- 6th or 7th round(centers rarely get taken early)
Theo Riddick- 6th round


I have a feeling Cierre Wood is going to come back even though at the beginning of the year this looked like an impossibility. Its extremely unlikely he will break 1000 yards this year and his draft stock has to be hurt because of his suspension. I also think Watt and Martin will return for their 5th years. With Martin, however, I believe there is a chance he will leave.

I think KLM comes off the board in the 3rd round and Motta 6 or 7th. Although Smith getting a pick six this weekend may give our safeties some more credibility.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Riddick is probably on the outside looking in right now, Motta will be around the late 3rd, Martin and Watt will get picked in the 4th to 6th round as well. Cierre is an interesting case. Weak RB class could help him a lot.

Who is projecting Motta going so high? Don't get me wrong, I'd be great, but I didn't realize he was getting that much love.

Wood comes back, hopefully.

I'm not even gonna go there with Motta. I was wrong about Smith...and Motta has been awful in coverage this season, so who knows?

...are you Zeke Motta or an agent wanting to hire him? LOL

You are 0-1 with Hayseeds....

I'd be very surprised if both Martin and Watt left. Don't they both have 5th years? I was under the impression that Watt definitely wants to come back. Martin is torn

 

[Ironman8]

I would be shocked if Wood came back.

 

[notredomer23]

Motta in the 3rd?

I don't think that is unreasonable. Motta has played more than stellar through the first seven weeks, although we have not faced a passing attack like Oklahoma's yet. If he plays how he has through the first seven games against Oklahoma, I definitely could see three. Kid brings the thunder on every hit

 

[Riddickulous]

Te'o and Eifert are late first/early second rounders and everyone else is a mid-to-late round choice.

Theo is too slow to make much of an impact anywhere in the NFL. Don't think he will be drafted.

 

[aubeirish]

As far as Martin goes, I like the fact that his brother is on the team. It should be a pretty strong factor into making the decision, especially if his draft stock is not that great by the end of the season.

Te'o will go in the top ten. Dominating ILB and leader like this do not come very often. Someone will take him early, you can count on it.

WHAT? Come on, we all love Zeke here...but he's left a ton to be desired in coverage.

And yeah, he hits. But everyone in the NFL can hit. Can he cover?

I agree. Teo is a huge get for someone in the locker room as well.

Top 5 guy, if you look at the whole picture. Chicago would be a nice place for him with Urlacher getting old, or Washington with Fletcher getting old.


Hope my Skins take him

 

[Dizzyphil]

I would be shocked if Wood came back.

Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked. I will say this for Kelly, he has been good at getting the young men to stay.

GO IRISH!!!!!!

I would LOVE my Bears to pick up Teo.... unfortunetely, he wont be there at the 32nd pick....

I think you pretty much nailed it. although I think Theo goes undrafterd, but does make a roster though.

I know you can't make this kind of comparaison, but if I am a NFL GM or coach I am looking at Manti and saying to myself we could have a Ray Lewis of our own for the future. Drafting is not an exact science, but this comparaison is pretty easy to make. At least to my eyes.

Wait what? LMFAO...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Ya the 32nd pick, because they trade into the first round with the 49ers to get the 32nd pick.

And yeah, he hits. But everyone in the NFL can hit. Can he cover?

Please direct me to a play this year where he has had blown coverage outside the Navy game which doesn't count because of our scheme. Thanks.

Bob Costas commented closely to that last week.

Think the writing is on the wall with Cierre. Would love to be wrong, but really believe he will be gone.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

I could see the Ravens trading up into the top 10 to get Manti. Wishful thinking on my part but it makes sense. Ray has one more year or is going to retire this year. They need an ILB who can come in and play immediately and it makes sense to grab an NFL ready rookie if there is one available. Their other needs are safety and OL depending on how well the young backups are developing. The perfect situation would be for Lewis to come back for one more year and give Manti a chance to learn from the greatest ILB of the generation before he retires.

Didn't he jump the wrong rout against BYU which allowed the pass to the back of the endzone?

Didn't see this before I posted. I agree with you, good sir

The second time Miami got behind us was on Zeke, if I'm remembering correctly

Wasn't that Farley's mistake?

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

One was Farley but I thought the other was Zeke. I will go look

Just checked: First one Farley, second one Zeke.
