2026 NFL Draft April 23 - 25 at Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh

I wonder why there was no interest. Lack of talent ? Behavior issues? His own coach warned teams?

Its a mix of him not fitting the mold of an NFL QB and his attitude. If he was less over the top arrogant douche some team may have taken a late round flyer on him. Nobody is going to want a headache from a player who's 99.9% not going far. He's got a top pick attitude for a UDFA camp fodder caliber player. That doesn't fly

CG John “Juni” Mobley, Jr. (Official Thread)

Nothing wrong with finding out the 'missing piece' in obtaining a NBA draft number. Gives one something to work towards. Unlike football, don't see many NBA ex-players returning to coaching (relatively speaking). So, who gives these kids the secret sauce to get drafted? No, don't believe Mobley is NBA-ready yet, and, correct me if I'm wrong, but declaring for NBA (w/o signing with an agent), is not the same as declaring for the portal. Ergo, portal is closed, so it's NBA or return to former team, am thinking. Only brighter and wiser as to what is needed in order to advance. On another issue, wouldn't want to waste Mobley's energy bringing the ball upcourt. Would rather see him go downcourt, set up, look to break, and then turn and shoot, rather than all the dribble stuff a PG needs to be good at. Anyway, just a thought on a Tuesday morning.

LordJeffBuck
Comparison (to date) of the 2024 Ohio State Buckeyes with the 2001 Miami Hurricanes, often considered to be the most talented CFB team of all time. Several Buckeyes from the 2024 team (Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin, Kenyatta Jackson, Brandon Inniss, et al) will be eligible for the 2027 NFL draft, so I will update this comparison next year.

Round 1 (3): WR Andre Johnson (2003) Round 1 (4): WR Carnell Tate (2026)

Round 1 (25): DL William Joseph (2003) Round 3 (87): TE Will Kacmarek (2026)
Round 1 (27): DB Mike Rumph (2002) Round 4 (115): LB Cody Simon (2025)

Round 7 (213): LB Darrell McClover (2004) Round 6 (214): DL Caden Curry (2026)
Round 7 (215): DB Alfonso Marshall (2004)

Round 7 (227): OL Joaquin Gonzalez (2002)
Round 7 (241): QB Ken Dorsey (2003)

To recap, in three drafts the 2001 Miami Hurricanes had 28 selections including 15 in the first round.

In two drafts with a third pending, the 2024 Ohio State Buckeyes have 23 selections including 8 in the first round.

QB1 Will Howard (National Champion, Pittsburgh Steelers)

calibuck
Believe so. These NFL guys don't miss too much, and the late rounds can sometimes be stretches (firmly believe that the 'hidden gems' are all scooped up by that time), so why not take a cheap guy that has local roots. Backup material, but did play at a highly ranked school, and did all right. Depth piece for sure, but with what, 53 players, better be of more use than a scout team player....

Iowa Hawkeyes (Official Thread of The Under)

I hear you, but I wasn’t thinking banning them. I was thinking of how many people, other than Buckeye fans, would bother to watch The Game if Michigan spent 5 years as a team that won an average of two games per season, i.e. Indiana pre-Cignetti.

Nonsense. The world didn't stop spinning while they had Hoke and Rich Rod. This myth that CFB needs Michigan is tired.
