Quote:Did you bother to read up on Mack before you posted? His NFL.com draft profile contradicts you. It's right there in his profile. 

 

Produced nondescript performance with a MAC title game berth on the line vs. Bowling Green and regularly faced inferior MAC competition. Plays a bit too recklessly and out of control. Can learn to run the arc with better lean.

 

He's essentially being valued to the top of the draft for a single performance against Ohio State. Memorable as it may have been, it seems devoid of scholarly consideration.

 

1. Ohio State was caught looking ahead. There's little doubt no college football powerhouse specifically prepares to play a cream puff like the University of Buffalo. Check the Buckeye suspensions during this week of their schedule.

 

2. In high school, Westwood High School in Fort Pierce ranked 720th nationally, 48th ranked in the state of Florida.

 

3. His senior high school year, 2008-9, he caught one pass for a six yard touchdown to go with 4 sacks, 4 passes defended, and 3 tackles for loss.

 

4. His high school tackles totals: 61 solo, 49 assists, 110 total

 

You did see the Mack v. Baylor video, right?

First round pick?     

 

Did you bother to read the question posed by OP?

 

This is about picking between 3 potentially questionable selections for the 3rd pick. It doesn't matter that you don't think he's a 1st round pick.

 

You're using HIGH SCHOOL as a reason not to draft him? That's your argument, and you want me to believe I should accept it? You show one flaw in his game but quickly change to his high school performance to knock the selection. He's quick. He's always around the ball, and he shows very good instincts which led to a lot of TFL. He's always using his hands to force fumbles (whether success or not), to disrupt the QB while rushing, and while falling back into coverage where he created a decent number of tipped passes. I think he'd make a decent option. He isn't my idea pick, but that wasn't what the thread it about.
