Nick Fairley to announce his decision Friday

[bleys]

and what do you call our DTs?? can you even name them?

what do you call a defense ranked 12th in the league, had to play on the field longer than any other defense, and just brought in one of the best defensive minds in the league while unable to name our DTs?

you just helped me explain my point better than anyone.. you deserve rep!

I would argue that a competent QB will be more beneficial than improved DT play in an either/or situation. I will also say that Fairley could have an immediate impact if we stay at #1, and that a QB at #1 from the pool available would help less than Fairley.

Fairley likely won't have an immediate impact... unless he is Suh, which he isn't. Fully expect him to take 2-3 years to show up as the playmaker you all think he is..

Yeah, I really think this is just a negotiating ploy to get more money out of Auburn

[Dpantherman]

in all honestly, im happy with whoever we take as long as we do our homework

What are SEC payscales for DT's now. Have they made 6 figures yet?

[Snake]

This is probably the closest he'll get to being the # 1 overall pick, he would be a fool not to declare.

Same thing we said about Luck. :eek: Well the last part at least.

there is no way you announce at your high school you're going back to college. that's all sorts of weird.

anyway, I don't care who we draft because no matter who it is, this team has too many holes for the #1 to fix. I'm not overly excited about any prospect, but I am excited about the draft overall and FA.

I don't think he'll be all that this year. I'm thinking 1-2 good plays a game and average play the rest of the time... which is still more than we had last year. WR looks fairly solid this year, but another set of hands definitely couldn't hurt. Either one would be a solid pick.

[Catalyst]

I have a funny feeling he's going to shock everyone and stay in school. Just a hunch.

[poarch0]

He's going to tell the highschool kids that education is way better than makin millions...plus he doesn't wanna lay for us....who would until we have a halfway decent offense

[Cavscout]

He is not going to pass up the chance to eat doughnuts every day for the rest of his life to stay in school for 1 more year

[Catalyst]

It doesn't matter; we're not going to take him. You guys are going to be some kind of disappointed when you realize that in the weeks leading up to the draft.
