2021 Draft Discussion - Bolts Pick 13th

[Bolt-O]

Big Ten is open to playing the fall Football season. I think the G5 schools probably won't though. Who knows about the Pac 12.

Unpopular opinion warning

i’m intrigued if not hoping college football gets postponed as well as combine and prodays, senior bowl etc.
for the following reasons:

1. if it’s safer then obviously this is reason number 1.
2. Personally I miss a lot of college football because Saturdays are family days, so I end up watching box scores. So it would be nice to have college football have its “own season”
3. I hate the time between the draft and training camp. I’m sure I’m not alone here.
4. It makes scouting more challenging, which favors the better talent evaluators which Telesco and company are imho.
5. As mentioned in another thread, it’s a good year to be picking late as I suspect a higher amount of first round busts than usual.
6. related to 5, it will be easier for Telesco to trade up in the draft (Ala Murray) if he wants to again because it’ll be more affordable. And that favors teams who are closer to complete than those rebuilding. Buyers market.

so I welcome a postponed college football season unless there is a glaring disadvantage I’m missing.
which is very likely haha

That's good news to me.

Same. I have a few prospects in the BIG 12 that are high on my board, going into 2020, for our Bolts. TE, OC, OT, CB, WR, EDGE.

NCAA Division I fall championships postponed

Eddie TimanusUSA TODAY

As conference after conference in Division I postponed fall sports, the NCAA has made the inevitable decision that there will be no fall championships in the organization’s top tier in 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“We cannot, at this point, have fall NCAA championships,” said NCAA President Mark Emmert in a video interview posted Thursday evening, adding it is hoped championships can be moved to the 2021 calendar year.

Emmert noted that the Board of Governors requirement of 50% of schools playing to hold the postseason would not be achievable.

"Sadly, tragically, that's going to be the case this fall," Emmert said. "That doesn't mean we shouldn't and can't turn toward winter and spring and say 'OK, how can we create a legitimate championship for all those students.' ... I'm completely confident that we can figure this out."

I watched that a while ago.. Makes you want him. He sure is good. We won't have many players to watch this year but the situation will probably afford us more looks at players like Creed that have already drawn our interest.

Theres too much risk for these guys. What if their lungs never come back? Thats o loss of tens of millions to them.

If the risk is concern about playing future football - Isn’t the general risk of football Injury like 1000x this hypothetical lung damage risk? By this logic, no one should ever play football again.
