The first game of the morning featured UNC vs Georgia Tech. This allowed us to see the most under-the-radar candidate, Dwight Jones. Then, Oklahoma State squared off against Texas A&M which gave us a chance to look at the presumptive top-two receiver candidates in the 2012 draft: Justin Blackmon and Jeff Fuller. Then we had a dandy between Clemson and Florida State. We got a chance to see freshman phenom Sammy Watkins catch 8 passes for 141 yards.
As I watch my Rams go down in flames at the hands of the Ravens, who are the very best team in the AFC, my mind can't help but wander forward to the 2012 draft. Why not? We're racing out to an 0-3 start, and this season is quickly slipping away from us. It's going to take one hell of a rally in the second half for us to dig out of the vicious hole we are in.
I can't help but notice the offensive lack of skill and talent at the offensive skill positions. We'ed better start thinking about the draft. This time, we better move mountains and extinguish the fires of Hell itself if that's what it takes to get some serious WR talent. I warned everybody that the only thing we had to do this past off season was acquire a deadly play-maker for Sam Bradford to throw it to. We didn't do it.
Without further ado, here are the top guys, as I see them:
