Pro Day and Draft Prospects

[TomCat88]

The Vikings scout was at three MSU games this year, along with the Pro Day. She was very interested in Mellott, I’m told.

Anything but that

You must be a Viking fan too. lol

Seriously, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Mellott would be a nasty combo.

Mellot's agent has been pushing on the Vikings more than any other team but has had little interest from them. Doesn't mean they are not interested but they are not making it obvious. They are in a win now mode so developing a player is not in their best interest. We will see. I would love to be able to go see him play.

Every NFL team has late round picks that are geared towards developmental prospects.

Wait just a minute! Tommy come back?

Will high school kids ever catch a break. First covid years, then JC not counting and now this. Collegiate sports was not meant to be a career.

They don’t realize how relaxing and satisfying life can be. Listening to the wrong ex-athletes. You went to college. You played your sport. You did it! It’s time to move on. Find a new adventure.

Except now they can make more than they will with a job, get meal plans, housing allowance, personal training all on the boosters dime. Pretty good gig while it lasts.

If this lawsuit prevails, it is the end of amateur sports at D1 or maybe NCAA level..

Have you all actually read what this lawsuit is about? It's not attempting to end all eligibility requirements so that guys can play college football for 10 years, but another lawsuit related to playing at a junior college and if it should count against a player's eligibility clock with the NCAA.

They are granting 7th and 8th years already. If you go JC 2 years, redshirt, medical redshirt, play 4. My point is where will it stop. NCAA loses every case now. And they don't seem to care or have the ability to do anything. If HS can limit eligibility to 4 years why can't colleges. Getting admitted and going to college was about education at one point and we are getting further and further away from that.

I’m of the opinion that if NJCAA years don’t count against NCAA eligibility, then neither should NAIA years. Let the Frontier conference become a feeder school and MSU/UM can have 22 year-old freshman with 5 years eligibility that are from Montana like BYU does older players from everywhere after a mission.

My guess is that where it will eventually stop is that any years played at the JC or NAIA levels don't count as those schools aren't part of the NCAA. And yeah, some players will take advantage of this by playing their first year or two at a JC to extend their overall time window to play in college. I may have misread some of the comments but I thought that some were interpreting this lawsuit to mean that eligibility limits would be gotten rid of entirely so a player could play college football for 10 years with one team if he wanted. Instead it seems to be targeted towards a very specific situation where this player went NCAA to JC back to NCAA and doesn't want the JC year to count against him.

Correct on this lawsuit but there are others arguing specifically about eligibility limits.

This was actually written in March, before guys pro day. The two articles I posted above were more recent. Interesting to read the buzz about Tommy. Only a few more days to see if any guys get drafted.

Yeah I posited Dallas as a landing spot and everyone chimed in naming their favorite teams in some cases pairing him with an already stacked WR room. Outside of Lamb the WR and Ferguson the TE, Dallas has some serious needs for skill position players. Brandin Cooks signed with the Saints, Rico Dowdle the top RB signed with Carolina. Here's the real clincher though, the Cowboys have 7 picks in the last 3 rounds of the draft including 3 in the 7th round. I think Dallas is a real possibility for Tommy.
