Todd McShay on Lemon Ear

He says Lemonier goes 26th to the Ravens.

I was talking about Lemonier this morning with someone and saying it would be like Stanley McClover if he declared.  This guy absolutely disappeared off the face of the earth this year. Disruptive the first couple of games and by season's end, nada.  26th???  Based on what?

[AUChizad]

Yeah, this is fuckin insanity. We'll need him at Auburn for sure, but I'll be god-damned if anyone on the 2012 Auburn team goes in the first round. Hell, first 10.

Conspiracy theories don't seem so crazy any more to me lately, so it wouldn't surprise me if the media is trying to coax him away from Auburn and into failure.

Just a guess, but I don't think his free lancing fit into CBVG's plan...not that it made that much difference overall.
Hope Gus is still after Rock.

Possible he's as good as he always was, and just stopped giving a shit, like many of his teammates, and looking to the future?  McShay doesn't just pull this stuff outta his ass...he talks to teams about who is on their board.  FWIW

Todd McShay and that other douche bags usually get all of their bottom 1st round picks wrong. They don't know about any Draft Day trades which will have a Domino effect most of the time. Hell, they've listed guys add 2nd or 3rd rounders and those guys do good at their Pro Day or NFL Combine and they skyrocket into the Top 10...which causes another Domino effect. Then you have teams that like to trade their lower first round picks just to get more picks later, that causes a Domino effect...then you have a team like the Saints that trade their entire Draft picks, just to pick up one guy.

Low 1st round projection, most of the time, means mid-2nd round to mid-3rd round...happens every year (top 5-10 players drop down into the lower 1st round picks, which pushes the lower 1st round projected players back).

Another thing is his size, what will he play in the NFL DE, Stand up DE, OLB, Drop down OLB, MLB, etc?

Man you act as if the media has an agenda to pander to the Updykes or something. Seriously why in the hell would they do that? Oh wait.....

I'm not a fan of McShay, but he wouldn't put Lemonier n the first round if he didn't know teams were high on him. 

We really could use him next year.
