Doyle cost Epenesa millions

[CycloneDaddy]

Ya, when did Epenesa get chosen again?

As my wife says maybe tomorrow.

 

[Gonzo]

That's funny I don't see his name here. Maybe one of the hawks can help me understand how the greatest DE in history wasn't picked?

Lots of strange, unexpected 1st round picks. Draft is a funny thing, never know how it's going to go. AJE should go in the 2nd and make someone very happy, guy's a beast.

 

[GTO]

I just don't get how he was a 4.7 guy before college and leaves without being able to run sub 5

He got Doyle'd.

 

[nfrine]

Nate Stanley was much faster....

 

[SouthernCy]

Haha, pretty bold statement there. Others disagree. We'll find out in a few weeks.

I guess it wasn't bold after all

 

[SouthernCy]

Someone find me that guy on here who bet me $100 that Epenesa was a LOCK for anywhere from 15-22. I'm here to collect my money

 

[CyTwins]

He did, but without any doubt his performance in the Combine cost him millions. He went from being a top 10 draft choice to the middle/bottom part of the 1st round. He still could get lucky and someone draft him high, but he did not look like a top 10 pick at the combine.

You nailed it. Wow

 

[intrepid27]

He was running against the rotation of the Earth.

Doesn't that make you faster?

Your finish line is moving towards you as you run to it.

 

[CyTwins]

Does Epenesa for sure go in the second round?

In retrospect he probably should have returned next year and won some awards. He is going to be the hardest player to replace next year. He could single handedly change a game.

Especially if that Dowling kid nobody wanted is his replacement

Either way he was the best pass rusher Iowa has had since Howard Hodges or Matt Roth and maybe even since Leroy Smith. Those guys don’t grow on trees for Iowa.

Funny, the NFL doesn't often miss on people that do that.

If he could single handedly change a game, maybe he should have done it more often. He had a few good games, but there were also a lot of games that he didn't look overly impressive.

Wirfs will be a bigger loss for Iowa.

They don’t? Explain how a lot of HOFers either were drafted late or weren’t drafted at all?

 

[Remo Gaggi]

ESPNosa will wind up getting drafted in the seventh round and will eventually get cut. We'll see him suiting up for the Iowa Barnstormers next year.

We know. You're going to start an in state DE this year that we passed on

Were they changing games in college or late bloomers? Make a list and meet me here next week.

Winning awards doesn’t change his 40 time.
