Doyle cost Epenesa millions

In last year's draft,

#1 got a contract worth $35 mil plus $23 mil signing bonus.
#10 got $18 mil plus $11 mil.
#20 got $12 mil plus $7 mil.
#32 got $10 mil plus $5 mil.

So, if you think he was a top 10 pick, then he has a loss of at least $14 mil.

You know what he's going to be at the end of the day? Another in a LONG LONG line of professional football players the hawks have put in the league. Amazing grapes stay sour for this long.
 
Not one bit of your analysis of AJ is true at all. If it were true AJ wouldn't have been 2nd team all American and likely 2nd round draft pick (or 3rd, or drafted at all).

Watch the video with your eyes instead of your heart, the early games especially. Look at his numbers from the combine.

He came on the second half of the season,

Here are his stats early in the year.

8/31 1 TOT O solo 1 asst.
9/07 3 TOT 1 solo 2 asst. 1 sack
9/14 1 TOT 1 solo 0 asst.
9/28 2 TOT 1 solo 1 asst.
10/05 2 TOT 2 solo 0 asst. 1 sack

He had 7 TOT against Penn St. with one sack, 4 TOT against Minn with 2.5 sacks
His best game 14 at Neb with 2 sacks. and USC 4 TOT with 2.5 sacks.

Like I said he started out slow, 5 TOT and 2 sacks the first 5 games, but finished strong, 18 TOT and 4.5 sacks the last 2 games.

He also started the year a preseason all American, so he was on their radar before the season had began.
Now where was I wrong in my analysis?

I mean JGJ dominated him
 
I never understood the 1st round projections by many for AJ. He's decent, but not great.
 
Why are we making fun of a team that can probably FIELD an entire team of players drafted from their program?

These "hawks suck" threads really puts some's insecurity on full display.

Once again, the mocking is aimed toward Hawk fans overvaluing their players. It has nothing to do with Iowa State nor "insecurity."

Hawk fans just never believe that their team or their players could possibly be overrated, when in fact, usually the exact opposite is the truth.

Wirfs and Epenesa both dropped well below where everyone had them "projected" to go.
