Ant Hill should have stayed.

Texans missed but the old Houston got him. Zierlein had him falling to the 3rd to Tenn

Love is not a transcendent first round type of back like bijan is to me. Ty simpson in the first round is beyond comical IMO, But QB’s are over drafted year after year. 

Still don’t get why Dante Moore came back. He definitely would’ve gone ahead of Simpson

Would have loved to see what Muschamp would have done with him, but a second round pick is hard to turn down

Saleh seems like someone that will use him! And reunited with T Sweat and Helm!

Hill projected 2nd round and went 2nd round.

Interesting the # of high draft picks a&m has so far & what did they do with them--8 & 4!!

[Bonaparte]

Many of these players should have returned.

Have to think Manny would have benefitted from a year playing effective press man under Muschamp..

So Texas could have had Simmons and #2 overall pick last season but Texas cheaped out ?

TTU Doubled the Texas offer.

With the academic standards Texas has, how many dudes fell off the board?? UGA pre req is an arrest record...Texas you have to be relatively intelligent and have the grades.  Id bet this has cost Texas several draft picks....

Actually they were 11-0 with a win over Notre Dame at one point, before falling on their face against Texas and Miami to finish 11-2

It really has been surprising how many TE have been taken already.  I know Endries wasn't mocked to go in the 3rd, but with this many taken, teams may take him earlier than anticipated.  We will see. It seems odd that Manny hasn't gone yet with the number of DBs that have been taken, but the last 3 have all had high numbers of INTs in their careers. That was something Manny just couldn't do in game during his 3 years. We will see...

He never returned Texas' calls and texts once Tech made him an offer he couldn't refuse (minus the horse head).

Bailey kept ignoring calls from Tech until these two texts: "I have the deal of a lifetime for you. Give me a call, bro." and  "David, give me 120 seconds to have a convo with you. If you're not interested after that, I'll leave you alone."

He was intrigued and called.  The offer was supposedly for over $3 million for one year.  Texas wasn't going to offer him double what Simmons was likely making.
