...funniest part is they weren't from the "big 4" 5 stars we brought in that year...

(randle, shepard, loston, davenport)

you act like it's a curse to have 5 star players. You are wrong. I'll take them all day. It is a numbers game. Not all will pan out, but about half will be very good on average, and go on to play in the NFL. You guys think just because they are 5 star they should automatically be a star.

Randle is going to excel with the Giants...he was a super talent that had a shitty qb. Shepard was never going to have a position to play given his size....although I bet he gets drafted. The book is still out on Loston, as he has been injured. He still could be a star for LSU, so you can't write him off yet. Davenport was a bust on defense, let's see what he does on offense.....there is still a chance for him as well. Overall, They will likely get 3 of the 4 drafted....not bad at all.

Out of those 4, Randle has already been drafted, I expect that Loston will (if he stays healthy) and that shep will in a late round if he doesn't have a breakout season...if he does...he could go middle rounds.....assuming this, I expect 3 out of 4 of the 5 stars to get drafted (even though davenport could still come on). That is 75% and above the 40% of 5 star athletes that get drafted in the NFL.

I don't know that it will...but it's off to a good start.
