I do not think he is eligible for the draft

Morris Claiborne?

not a senior

by P.G. on Jan 9, 2012 9:34 PM EST up reply actions

That's what we need

We need to draft some of these guys in this game to bore our opponents to sleep.

Worst NCAA football season ever

Terrible game and terrible bowl season. Worst season Ive ever seen. If Kirkpatric lasts till the Jags pick he is a must pick player. Much better than Claiborne and best DB in the draft hands down.

Terrible game?

That was one of the best defensive performances in a championship game I have ever seen, If you thought that was terrible, you must not be a football fan.

I thought the game was indeed terrible

I give you the defense efforts were insane, but LSU looked too bad for a team in the championship.

When I tune into the BCS National Championship, I expect to see excellent play by both teams in all aspects of the game. Alabama looked great, and LSU offensively looked terrible, and despite a superb defense of Alabama, I still expect more from a #1 team’s offense in the championship.

LSU looked terrible because they got absolutely dominated

Maybe I’m just a guy who likes defense, because I thought it was a fantastic watch. You never see a team put a complete effort together like that, usually there is some of spark or light success but there was none, Alabama absolutely dominated that game, guess thats only interesting to some

I know they were domianted

I guess the game was so bad for me due to disappointment. I expected LSU offense to look way better than they did regardlessof how good Bama D was

Claiborne

What makes Kirkpatrick better than Claiborne? I think we should get kirkpatrick, but still.

by jagsfan17 on Jan 10, 2012 6:01 AM EST reply actions

Claiborne doesnt look good

He just looks plain. Not too fast not too physical. I dont know why he is rated so high. When he returned kicks last night he got smashed, most of the time by Kilpatric.

by childintime12 on Jan 10, 2012 6:38 AM EST up reply actions

hes faster than kirkpatrick

more acceleration and better ball skills also hes just as physical in press i saw him jamming tightends off their routes when they went out wide. just because kirkpatrick is tall and can tackle doesnt mean hes going to be a the best corner in the draft

Cold Blooded

by Jaggaholic82 on Jan 10, 2012 8:51 AM EST up reply actions

well he has long arms too

Him and Cox would be unstoppable. The NFL needs tall physical CB now. Look at Seattle they have a 6’4 guy playing out there and he is sweet. Get them big and long and they can match up with anyone.

Curious...

what resource is used to determine where a player is picked or not?

Funny...but not enlightening

by muddyballs on Jan 10, 2012 7:23 AM EST up reply actions

Heres how the draft goes

Jags take Blackmon, if hes not there then Kilpatric, if both are not there then they take the best OT thats left because he will be BAP. Hopefully someone who can start at RT and push Britton to swing backup. Everybody else looks like a reach at 7 including Richardson and Claiborne.
