I saw where Pat Dye proclaimed this team to be the most talented team Auburn has had.

I sincerely do not mean this thread as a flame thread, and don't want it to devolve into one. I just don't know much about your team, outside of Stidham.

Who are your most overrated players, and where do you expect them to be drafted?

College talent doesn't always translate to NFL talent.

While this is true, I can't think of many (if any?) recent championship contenders that didn't have multiple high draft picks.

Dye also said he would take Chizik over Saban. While I agree this is a pretty talented squad, that 04 team was freaking loaded.

Braden Smith projects well. Pettaway and trigga tray might get drafted. The other Tre at Linebacker is a late round guy. Of course Stidham will be picked first overall in 2018. So yeah not much at all. Their kicker may be their most talented player.

I'm going to veer away from Stidham since he's yet to play a down for us but DB Carlton Davis, DE Marlon Davidson, Braden Smith are great athletes

As most know Dye's opinions are less valuable today than they once were...this team might be more talented than 2004 but it is highly unlikely. It has the potential to use the talent at QB more than it was used in 2004 so that in and of itself makes it a dangerous team.

There are really only a couple seniors I see that could be drafted in Branden smith, Legatron, maybe Tray Matthews and Tre Williams.

There could be a high amount of Jrs drafted in Stidham, Kam Pettway, Deshaun Davis, Kerryon Johnson and Carlton Davis, all depending on how this season goes.

Wildcard is Cowart.

Would love to have this kid. Kills it in the running game.

He isn't even in the discussion, IMO, unless he dramatically improves.

Their running back is good if he can stay on the field.

At first, I read "talented" as "tainted".

For reference: 2004's squad had picks #2, 5, 9, and 25. 2010's squad was considerably less talented overall, but had the #1 and #13 picks overall.




Draft placement doesnt equal talent

Dye was talking about JFIII but since he is gone we probably gonna get whacked by Mercer.

Second time I've seen this sentiment, but again - I can't think of any contenders in recent memory who haven't had players drafted highly.

I think more accurately, NFL talent doesn't always equal on field success.
