Darius Walker hasn't been mentioned by anyone in the world except you two since the day he declared.

Yeah I know this. Dfense was just complaining about how Quinn was rushed and had no running game support, but yet he forgot Walker was a 1,000 yard rusher this season, so he blamed Quinn's struggles on the running game. Walker wont make it anywhere in the NFL, he's coming to an arena football team near you.

What does everyone think of Amobi Okoye - the 19 yr old Louisville DT?

Would you draft him?

[retro1530]

Okoye is going to be a pretty good player in the league. He's 19, he's intelligent, strong, and athletic. I think he could gain some weight so he can take up more space inside. He'll be in the league for many years and will be a good player, possibly a Pro Bowl caliber player in a few years. If you need help on the D-line and you are willing to wait for this kid to mature, then I would draft him.

I was always interested to see what percentage of drafted NFL players were no longer in the league 5 years after the draft. If anyone can find this let me know. I mean where do all this Arena league teams find players do teams like the Riverhawks get players out of high school or college or pro players that do not make it?

63.6 % of players drafted are no longer in the NFL after 5 years.....Source......Uh, I just made that up.....don't know if the league maintains such stats and my on crac.......errrr crack research staff would probably walk out on me if I gave them that task. When one considers all rounds and supplemental picks there has to be close to 250 kids selected annually. My guess is around half (probably higher) make NFL rosters....then to project 5 yrs down the line.....that figure I made up is probably low!!!

[abpk2903]

yeah i was thinking about the same number. Just wondering. I will e-mail Mel Kiper see if he knows.

theres some research on draft picks and other info...i found it interesting...


now one possibliity in the steelers draft is to make a trade for lance briggs...we'll need a guy to replace JP and i think this is the player to do it.

Is Okoye related to the Nigerian Nightmare?
