Topic: Does Ali get drafted

[BigJimslade]

Your harsh words are hurtful but that being said ..
Name the games in which he had 40 carries as you claim
Waiting .. 🤔

Ok my fault ? I looked up that word hyperbole.. so you were just posting exaggerated and crazy  stuff not meant to contain any facts .. well next time could you include a disclaimer with your posts.
Like .. what I am posting has no factual content .. I am just making stuff up to sound believable ..  that ought to do it.

No. CFL or UFL prospect.

Wow, ....we will see.

I think he has an path similar to Brashaw. Late pick but hangs on because he can return kicks (remember him as a freshman?). From there, you just have to see. A lot is timing.

We'll how the quitter does, won't we.

Well into round 2 and NO RBs selected.. have to go back 10 years to find something similar. Does not bode well ? he is as ranked as 15th best

[MicDrass1]

Rb have to start coming off.  Does Micah Abraham get drafted?

[Herdalum83]

I'm gonna say Ali is picked in round 6 by the Chiefs.

In what round, though?

Although the on field responsibilities of a NFL RB is arguably the most varied of the positions except QB, the supply & demand curve devalues their worth both in draft position and in pay.

Hmmmm.. never thought about it .. let me investigate.. lots of CBs been drafted thus far I think

I will predict that Abraham does indeed get drafted .. Ali looks unlikely. Could Owen Porter learn to long snap ?

YEs.....to Baltimore in the fifth.

[herd1990]

5th round.  NY Giants.

I predicted Ali at 166 to the NYG and he went 165 to the Ravens.  So close....and I hate the Ravens 🙄

[Herdalum83]

I have said for a long time that Ali would be drafted.. he's much better than many on this board want to recognize for whatever reason. Baltimore could be a good spot for him.

If Ali would have played in the SEC (and he had the talent to), he'd have been one of the first 3 or 4 RB's taken.

2 yrs ago if he could have been drafted would have. 

[svherd]

Good for him. Hope he can stay healthy.

Always great to see an MU player drafted. I hope he makes the best of his opportunity.

This should prove to future players, if you have the talent, the NFL will find you. No reason to feel the need to always transfer up to P5. Stay at a small school and stand out from the crowd. The NFL will come knockin'.

I predict he goes in the 5th round.

They aren't transferring to get recognition.  They are transferring because that's where the money is.  If anything kids transfer down, where they can start, for recognition.  They'll get seen more starting here and have actual game stats than they would as a 3rd stringer at Alabama.

And then after they get paid for one year as a 3rd teamer and the coach at the P5 school brings in another player(s) at that position the ex-herd player transfers again.  Hence the reason we see threads here about players transferring from Marshall to another school only to see them transfer a third or fourth time at the end of the season. 

Most of the transfering players realize that if they want to get paid to play football this may be their only opportunity.
