You guys are saying that UM won't have anyone drafted in the first two rounds.

How many Power 5 teams won 10 games and their division with that same situation and how does this reflect on Mark Richt's performance?

It's not an argument. It's a question.

If you are trying to argue that there is more pro talent on Wisconsin, or Pitt, you will be proven wrong over time. I know you thought you were making a point about how good Richt is, but he did not over achieve with the players he had this year in my opinion. There will be a ton of players on this roster in the NFL down the line. Wether you are a 1st or second rounder or a 7th rounder, you are in the top 1% of the sport if you are an NFL player and we had more of those on our team than all but at most 3 teams on the schedule, and 3 is debateable.

10 wins and the Coastal when this is your draft-eligible talent.

So...how good is Mark Richt???

Correct me if I'm wrong but most of those guys weren't guys he recruited and leftovers from our "Golden era";....except maybe for the DT's RJ, and Norton (who left too early IMO) and who both probably would've been drafted higher next year had they stayed.

He should really be judged on player development next year when all ,except for Rosier, of the draft eligibles will all be his players.

But to answer your question, IMO the team's results with that type of 3rd round or less senior talent available reflects well on Richt.

A reasonable response from the poster formerly known as "themirabeau."

Good point that this current draft crop was not recruited by Richt.

No. if you looked at this in 3 years and all the guys have at least sustained a practice squad position then yes, you could have some qualms.

Buut, I don't care how much talent you have. If your QB sux you're only getting but so far.

"Argument" doesn't mean sissy slap fight. Your "argument" is your position in a discussion.

And your argument sucks because draft eligible players weren't the only players on the field when we won the Coastal. On top of that, winning the Coastal with a bunch of draft eligible guys who will play in the NFL isn't such a huge accomplishment. They don't have to be first rounders.
 
Thomas - 3rd
McIntosh - 3rd
Norton - 4th
Herndon - 4th
Walton - 5th
Harris - 6th
Berrios - 7th
Delaney - UFA
Molten - UFA
Badgley - UFA

Chad- 3rd
McIntosh- 3rd
Walton- 4th
Norton- 5th
Herndon- 5th
Berrios- 5th
Harris- 7th
Delaney- 7th/UDFA
McDermott- UDFA
Badgley- UDFA

I could see Chad or McIntosh going 2nd if they fit a certain team. Walton could also sneak into third.

Surprised that you and Rok don’t have Delaney being drafted. He ran a 4.46 forty at the combine and has good measurables. That alone should get him drafted.

Delaney is the most underrated player on the team. I was posting that on a Dolphins site months ago. As always, think big picture and long term as opposed to fixation on recent impressions. Delaney was highly rated based on the years at Citadel. He fell out of favor early as a Cane but you could see the speed and the skill set as the season progressed. He didn't play nearly as much as he should have late in the season.

At the combine Delaney not only ran well but he probably had the best gauntlet drill of any defensive back. He caught those passes effortlessly and tossed the football away quickly with defiance, as if it were the size of a tennis ball.

At a need position like cornerback he is going to be drafted.

Overall I would say Chad Thomas is likely our first draftee, maybe late third round. McIntosh is a wild card since all it takes is one team to admire him. I see wildly different opinions on him on the draft forums so that could translate to teams also.

Anyway, the range of where our guys will be picked doesn't say as much about Richt as a coach as it does about how our roster compares to the teams we are chasing. I'll pay attention to the national championship talk when we have a flurry of first rounders.

Otherwise we are relying on an outlier result...the joy of dunces.
