So, about the 2012 Class

[greenyellow]

^^^^^^ +1

Chad Cota (safety) was a stud too. That unit was up there with the D Boyz.

Can't forget Herman O'Berry there either.

[vagusnerve]

dude molden and oberry and cota those were the guys when i first starting watching oregon as a kid!

any youtube videos you guys know about that are out there on those guys?

off the top of my head, there are on average about 3 corners selected in the 1st round each draft. Anyone want to tell me right now who is a better prospect than Cliff at CB next year? As far as the knock against Cliff in run support, it really doesn't matter. It just doesn't. Lots of corners are terrible tacklers, doesn't prevent them from being 1st rounders.

Paulson in the 3rd is about right. When Ed went into the draft last season I helped him to get an idea of the past drafts with strong TE classes. Last season was a very strong TE class and as such you saw more guys go earlier in the draft. While there was only 1 TE in the first iirc, between the 2-3rd rounds, you saw a lot of guys come off the board, Ed being one of them. (I told him he'd go 68 to Balt and he ended up at 98 since they used that pick on sergio kindle). Where DP benefits is that next year is not as strong a draft for TEs so if he puts himself into that top 5 for TEs (which I imagine he already is) seeing him gone by the 3rd is a very easy projection.

Its important to remember that the draft is very fluid and that when a team picks a certain position, you can see a few teams start selecting the same position. Another big thing to remember is that the 4th round has now taken on a new level of esteem. Because of the 3 day format now, having early 4th rounders lets team find more of those hidden gems, like a WT3 who was taken early in the 4th.

Lets say for those that never saw Molden play, they guy was a stud! In fact he and Wheaton where arguably are greatest corner combo ever. He was 5'11 195, and really to compare him to someone now I would say Quentin Jammer when he was at Texas. He was a 1st team AA and drafted 11th overall, and I think both of those speak to how good he was. He was a physical and was a blanket in coverage, and was a key to UO going to the Rose and Cotton bowls.

Was a bummer that Wheaton left early

[Boom]

LMJ to the Cowboys would SUCK! Hope that dont happen. Saw where the guy had Paulson in the 3rd round. Cliff is good but I would not say he was better WT3 before knee injury. JMO

I think Thurmond would have been a 1st round pick if it wasn't for that injury. He was on his way to an amazing season.

I have to agree with you Molden was a stud and when you reflect back at him and Wheaton you realize how great they were!They haven't had a combo since as good.Oh btw Bauemann was a run stopper,so he was used mainly for that.Didn't stop him from a stint in the NFL because he was such a good run stuffer.

Whats up with this guy, anybody know about this guy?

[Bigducker]

Cliff at 160-170 won't be drafted higher than 4th round, why would he leave? He needs to live in the weight room over the next 2 years and get up to at least 185 to be a first round pick.

Cliff's listed at 180 on goducks.... pretty sure they use actual numbers?

Cliff doesn't weigh 180 with lead bricks in his pants.

[vagusnerve]

Yeah there is no way Cliff weighs 180! Hehehehe, no way. he's 5.11. If you're 5.11 and 180 you are built. seriously, seriously ripped.

Or fat and Cliff has that covered.

Was browsing through 2012 recruits on scout and 247, and came along this youtube video on the scout site:

He has 3 to play 2, and Oregon is recruiting him. Only offers from ASU and South Florida right now. But those are pretty sweet highlights.

Definitely not the best form. He's not getting the most out of his bench press by doing it that way.

[stewbertwilloughby]

I like this kid.

Matt Davis from Texas. He gets hurt in this game and missed the rest of the season, but he does finish the drive, with a diving touchdown.
