    Larry Allen was a legitimate freak of nature. And he played 100 years ago when the talent gap between divisions wasn't nearly as wide as it is now.

    He played before the reduction to 85 scholarships, if anything the gap was greater then than now. OL is one position where small school prospects don't worry me as much.

    Wat? Size, speed and strength among elite college athletes have increased exponentially in the last 20 years. That delta isn't nearly as wide at lower levels as it is in major DI football.

    Marpet had great combine measurables and supposedly held his own at the senior bowl. I like that pick better than the Donovan Smith pick

    I know you guys are all great Nebraska fans and have high expectations from the time we sent lavonte out your way, but the bad news I have is that Kenny bell is a bleeding vagina and will not be making your team. 1 out of 2 is still not shabby.

    I was pretty disappointed with all of our picks outside of Jameis. We addressed needs, but it seems like we reached on all of them.

    I just hope a good pass rusher gets put on waivers so we can sign him.

    Bucs' clause prohibits Jameis Winston from playing pro baseball
    7m - NFL JAMEIS WINSTON +2 more
    [​IMG]Play3:17
    Tampa Bay general manger Jason Licht discusses the process that led to picking Jameis Winston as the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.

    • ESPN.com news services
    At least for the foreseeable future, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't have to worry about Jameis Winston chasing his other dream of playing pro baseball.

    That's because the Bucs had a clause written into the first overall draft pick's rookie contract that prohibits Winston from playing professional baseball, according to TheMMQB.com.

    a four-year deal worth $24.35 million -- including a $16.69 million signing bonus -- on Friday, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The deal is guaranteed and includes a fifth-year option.

    Winston had expressed his love for both sports in February, telling TheMMQB.com that playing both sports professionally "always has been my dream."

    After the comments, according to TheMMQB.com, the Bucs texted Winston to let him know that to be their choice as the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, he'd have to give up that dream, at least for now.

    Winston thrived in the closer role for the Seminoles and played some in the outfield. In 2014, he was 1-0 with seven saves and 31 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings for FSU.

    What was wrong with the kenny bell pick? Most productive receiver in Nebraska history with 4.4 speed. Feel like we could do much worse than that with a 5th td pick.

    The clay guy will probably be our kr/pr so I thought that pick was solid. Overall, I thought we did good. Got our qb, picked two lineman the coaches like, and got some decent guys day 3. Kwon Alexander was a nice pick too.

    I liked our 1st 4 picks and the Utah WR. That late in the draft adding a guy who will make your roster as a special teams player is better than a guy you hope will make the roster elsewhere. Didn't love the Hawaii FB but 7th round you take a flyer on guys you think will make the roster in some fashion.

    How Winston Became the Buccaneers’ No. 1 Hope

    One of the football things that convinced the Bucs to pick Winston happened in March. Winston was already the clear leader in the clubhouse, but the team summoned him to spend a day with the coaches at One Buc Place. Now came the test. They’d give this test to both Winston (first) and then Mariota (a week later). Winston reported to the facility one day in early March, and offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter and quarterback coach Mike Bajakian taught him what he’d learn on the first day of rookie minicamp. “Day 1 Install,” it was called. Fifteen plays, runs and passes, with a slew of formations, progressions in the quarterback’s read, snap counts, coverages, hot receivers if the defense blitzed, offensive-line protections. Bajakian took 90 minutes to explain the “install,” flying through it on purpose, to throw a lot at Winston to see what he’d remember—more conceptually than in memorization. Then, as part of the information-overload, the coaches took him to lunch in the Bucs cafeteria, introducing him to a slew of people, talking to him about his family, doing whatever to get his mind off the football and on to something else. They wanted to test his recall, and his football acumen.

    Back in the quarterback meeting room after lunch, Bajakian put tape of the plays they’d be installing on the big screen. What’s your formation here, Jameis? The protection? Your route progression? Who’s your hot receiver? Play after play, for 45 minutes they went through it. Winston remembered it all. Koetter has been coaching college and pro football since 1985. He is not a gee-whiz coach. Licht was blown away by Koetter’s impression after that couple of hours with Winston. “I’m going to compare every guy I test like that the rest of my career to Jameis,” Koetter told Licht.
