Congrts to VY and Michael Huff on joining AJ and Donte Whitner in the top 10.
But we're also willing to talk about our 5 picks over the whole first round.

Still fortitudinous
I'm glad to take on FSU comments about total first rounders b/c we (with 5) outperformed them (with 4). OSU owns the NFL draft!:osu:

Damn, Ohio State's defense last year must have sucked.
According to ESPN, they got beat by a team that uses a remedial, one read offense. Led by a shitty QB who once got sacked by Oklahoma.

Seriously, they tore Vince a new one in that little Spiel.
don't worry, that AJ Hawk can't move laterally either (3.97 shuttle) 
schlerleth (sp?) and hoge are whiny little brats.

They indirectly insulted every team we played by referring to Vince and our offense the way they did.
Do these people even watch football? Yeah, I saw what they said about AJ Hawk and shook my head. I guess if they didn't invent deficiencies of top draft picks, they wouldn't be doing their job of providing tabloid sports news.
I can truly now sympathize with you folks regarding ESPN's not-so-hidden agendas (agendae?). Your collective reaction to ESPN's coverage of Ohio State's "transgressions" last year is awfully similar to how Texas fans are reacting at the moment.
Sorry to derail the thread. Again. Speaking of bands, is OSU bringing the full band?

This could get it going again
In a way, you could use the five first-rounders from OSU as criticism of the program. When a team has so many talented players, should they be losing to teams (Penn St., Texas) with less? You could argue (as OU fans have done with us for years) that the coaching staff isn't doing everything they can to get the most from their players. At least in the case of Penn St, you can argue that home-field advantage allows lesser players to play above their ability, but it deson't explain the Texas game. As to the Ohio St. fan who claims that your defense "tore VY a new a-hole." that's an overstatement. Yes, they knocked him around big-time, but when VY finishes the game with the winning play, that remark isn't valid. That comment is reserved for the qb who gets carted off the field in a 62-7 loss.

I do think that there is some correlation to draft picks, talent level, success of team, but as football is such a team sport, I don't think that the correlations are direct. If you went by the drafting of kids from teams, you would think that NC State had the most dominant defensive line in college football history. Everybody knew that tOSU's defense was great last year, and that SA Holmes was a great receiver, and they all played up to that potential last year solidifying their spots in the draft. The way that tOSU ended 2004 and performed in all of 2005 shows that the program did a helluva lot with the talent they recruited. And they lost to one team that had their best offensive and defensive players drafted #3 and #7, and another team that had a strong core of veteran players, so I don't buy any argument that they should have beaten those less "talented" teams. Also, we can't forget that Whittner and Holmes left school early, so those draftees did not take advantage of their four years of playing time to live up to their talent levels.
As an aside, glad to see that the Jets took Mangold, I think that he and D'Brickshaw are going to be a great tandem up here for a team that needs to build a solid foundation. Congrats to all the Buckeye draftees, and FA signees. Great players, rewarded with a great draft weekend.

The funny thing about one of the plays that Schlerreth (sp?) used to highlight why AJ wasn't a top ten pick was a play in which he made the tackle. Schlerreth said he didn't attack the line of scrimmage. He made the takle for minimal gain. what else do you want from the guy. Run full bore into the line of scrimmage and not following his deffensive assignments. What if it was a screen pass or play action....
what a doucheabag
