He'll play SS at 215, 220 for Pittsburgh...

Lamar Miller has first round talent, AG said he was basically the only one who should have left.The rb position is becoming irrelevant in a pass happy NFL. I guess this tutorial called the NFL DRAFT looks good for AG's younger players, because he warned this might happen.I think the Redskins will take Miller.

I disagree Flip, a first round running back is a complete back that brings multiple skills to the table or just very dynamic not just speed. He's nowhere in the discussion as Trent or Martin .

It's as simple as we didn't have as much talent as we thought we did and Golden was right that they all should've came back.

Can't cry over spilt milk, hopefully the young kids learn from this and value Al's advice more than a greedy agent.

Good post Ed. unfortunately I think most of the kids from mnw believed their own hype and most of them were just lazy.

The issue with Spence is he's PROBABLY not going to be able to keep on putting on the pounds without it hurting his play. He came in damn near 200 pounds and 4 years later he's high 220/low 230's?

everybody keeps saying they left early, do you think Al maybe pushed them out so he could stock up on his type of players for the probation years?

Not the first time I've heard that. Something of a fatherly push lol

Spence would be one slow safety...I don't think SS is in his future.

spence will be a special teams demon

If you've failed to have a winning season then you've also failed to produce 5 underclassmen worthy of declaring early.

Al Golden has publicly said he wanted those guys to stay.

I believe those guys would have helped in a big way for 2012...specifically Streeter, Lamar, and Vernon.

Al signed the maximum number of prospects he was allowed to for 2012 but we still don't have 85 players on scholarship. Obviously that means a few of those guys could have stayed and had 0 impact on Golden stocking up for the probation years.

Al knew it was a bad decision for those kids to declare early.

...because of all of that I don't think he nudged them out the door. One could argue that maybe he nudged them out the door because those players simply didn't want to play for Al but I don't think it was the other way around.
