7th rounder for Ike

[The Leaper]

Re: 7th rounder for Ike

i thought you could unless you have hired an agent?! or is this for another sport?

I know basketball players can declare but not hire an agent. However, it is impractical to enter the NFL draft without gaining representation...anyone who declares for the NFL draft hires an agent so they have access to top notch training and $$$$.

OMG. This is tragic.

The guy had a lousy junior year, despite Tyrone's fawning statements to the contrary. So he's not that hot of a property. Now he's got a hell of a tough injury to rehab. He's no longer part of the UW, so perhaps no fancy doctors, facilities and support to work his way out of this.

Man, I've never heard of such bad luck. I think he made a terrible mistake declaring for the draft, but he certainly did nothing to deserve this horrible situation.

Well, he's likely coming back to finish his degree then, and hopefully get in enough shape to go for the draft next year, which would be interesting to see where/if he gets picked.

A totally unnecessary injury for a bullshit event.

Tyrone's fawing statements? I think you've confused me with Partial.

Please, for my sake, don't even do that again.

For mid round guys like him, it's not a bullshit event. It's a way to try to fool someone into picking you a round sooner and bilking them out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Hey, Culpepper rehabbed behind the local Wal-mart. See how well that turned out?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Precisely. We'll never know. It's a shame. Dude is a straight up stud.

Stud or not, wasn't going in the top 10.

True that. Per this article on JSOnline a NFL scout said he was a 4th round pick.

There is no way he was going in the first round, let alone the top 10. There's no evidence anywhere that supports that argument.

[Partial]

Plenty of scouts are wrong. How many guys said James Jones would make a nice FA pick-up but a bad player to draft?!?!??!?

what are you talking about, Partial's adorable.

[Harlan Huckleby]

double shot power!

[SkinBasket]

There's no evidence anywhere that supports that argument.

The only evidence there's ever been in this ridiculous argument is Partial. All 5 feet 8 inches of him.

IMO, he will still go before that.

True. But, if we are gonna value draft picks...gotta go with them over you.

You can't find one draft guru/scout that had Ike as a top ten. I doubt you'll even find 1-3 that said first round.

[Partial]

Agreed. Last year people thought he'd go round 1 and I did hear some top 10 stuff and first corner off the board talk when he was a Sophomore. He's fallen off the radar a bit.

You must be insane.

Mcgahee was a lock to be a top 5 pick before blowing out his knee and then was expected to go in the 2nd, and only went 23rd cause Rosenhaus lobbied hard that he would be ready the following season. Even then he only made it back in the 6th week.

Ike ain't no Willis, nor was he a lock for 2nd round. So, why would a team draft a CB who most likely won't play till the second year of his contract? No GM is gonna waste valuable cap space on him if he can't play and wants 2nd/3rd round money.

Rehad for his type of injury is at least 9 months, and it could be longer depending on the severity of the kneecap injury.

Ike ain't playing in 08 at all.

This knee injury will effect his health, endurance, and could cause other injuries.

True. He was dominant his soph year. To bad he couldn't come out then.
