Since when do youth fundraisers consist of "begging" on a corner??? What kind of entitlement are we teaching. I just passed a bunch of football players at an intersection with buckets asking for money. Not working for it or doing any service or fundraiser to earn it. Just begging for it. Im ashamed of the type of people our country has produced, its disgusting.

What are you talking about? They are being prepared for their futures.

My dad did this with his youth football teams in the seventies. Its not all fun and games - the kids have to wear uniforms and stand out there for a long time (kids are not really designed to do this all that well). The kids give up one full day instead of a weeks long sales drive, they don't have to bug all their relatives or go door to door selling crappy candy or magazines, and it all works out.

They made so much money that the church my dad coached for decided they needed to share the money because so many people contributed to them because people just love football. He decided to quit and take the program to the Boys Club where they didn't have to raise money that way anymore.

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))

      I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
