I don't know a lot regarding college football so I was hoping someone else would have started the thread by now.

Last night, down by 27 late in the fourth, Marqise lee suffered a knee injury returning a punt. He had to be carted off the field and looked to be in great pain.

I hope the man is ok and wish him the best in his recovery, but assuming his injury is significant, how does this affect his draft stock? Would he fall to late first round or early second if he misses most of training camp? Would he be an ideal selection if we continue to win games?

Hasn't been playing like a top15 player. Now add this injury and he's possibly a 2nd rounder.

 

Really? His freshman year as the #2 WR he was 35th in Div 1-A with 73 receptions, 29th in yardage at 1143 yards and 18th in TDs with 11.

 

2012 as the #1 he was #1 in the country with 118 catches, 1832 yards (2nd) and 14 TDs (3rd).

 

Prior to this injury he was easily a first rounder and scouts are smart enough to understand this is a bad USC team this year, but Lee, with 30 receptions through 5 games this season, is now the all-time leading receiver in USC history.

I didn't mention his career. I meant to say he hasn't look as good as the previous seasons. A lot of the blame do go toward the QB but you would think that he should take more of a bigger role being pretty much the only and main offensive weapon at USC. Haven't been wowed with his performance this year.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
