I think this year's NFL Draft, painfully pointed out where Auburn is as a program, with regard to our overall level of talent. Roger McCreary went early in the second round to the Tennessee Titans. After that.....nada! Zip! Zilch!
Not that anyone would expect record numbers like this, but FUGA had 15 players taken, which gives you an idea of the disparity in talent between the two programs. Last season, Kirby Smart took a nice shot at Dan Mullen, when he basically said Mullen isn't winning because he doesn't recruit. If you don't have the Jimmy's and Joe's, none of it matters.
Not sure we have a Jimmy or a Joe on the roster.
However, we did have a number of players sign free agent contracts with NFL teams, so at least they will get their shot to show what they can do.
Smoke Monday: New Orleans Saints
Zacoby McClain: Baltimore Ravens. (This surprised me. I thought he would go in the second or third rounds)
Chandler Wooten: Arizona Cardinals
TD Moultry: Pittsburgh Steelers
Demetris Robertson: Seattle Seahawks
Brodaliciousness Hamm: Baltimore Ravens
