Odd that Mendoza will be the only first rounder...

Simpson, Alabama
Nussmeier, LSU
Allar, Penn State
Beck, Miami
Klubnik, Clemson

What round will or will they not go in???

Allar and Beck would have been a first rounders if they didn't stay

Not this year of course
Simpson... I hate to be the one but... It has to be about an Alabama recruiting decision

Stafford is 38 years old. I don't think he can complain too much. Luck retired before he hit 30
I guess I’m saying retiring before/near/during training camp. It was speculated last year before the season started he was thinking about it.

Stafford just won MVP. I don't think he plans on retiring for at least a few more years. Makes sense to draft a guy to sit behind him for a few years, but not that high. Simpson is a day 2 pick at best. That's a crazy pick.

I can't believe Simpson went 13th. Compare that to Kyle Hamilton (an infinitely better player) going 16th or whatever it was. The draft variations are huge.

ND clearly doesn't have that top end talent that OSU does. And they don't have a special coach like Cignetti.

That's why ND hasn't beaten them since the Great Depression.

So one or both pre-filmed a Mendoza reaction:



Could it just have been that one was delayed? Like they got him hugging everyone, then he sat down got the cap and hugged his immediate family again? Does look fishy though.

I’ve been to funerals that were more lively than that bunch. I can see where young Mendoza gets his robot tendencies from
Not much drama, mom has serious health issues.

They may also be a bit celebrated out by winning the National Championship.

I expect ND draftee families to have the same reaction a year from now.
