CBS Sports has Tyler Nubin going 1st round, 16th overall

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

Interesting. I thought his play this year looked more like a second day pick (2nd-3rd round).....but that would be pretty cool if he managed to be a first round pick.

 

[kg21]

I will take that bet.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

I can’t see him going that high. But many teams draft on potential not production

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

These the same guys that had Leidner going in the first round?

 

[IrishGoph55]

Winfield couldn’t even get in the first round and I still consider him the best Goph of my lifetime

Better than Tyrone Carter (All-American & Jim Thorpe recipient)?

Or are you a young buck?

Both were great, but Winfield is in a class by himself.

 

[El Amin Fan]

When is the last time we had a top 20 pick?

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

I’ll flip it for Carter.

I’m 57 and how old are you? I’m wondering Olof you ever saw Carter play live - no memorex allowed.

Also 57.

 

[BilldGopher]

Unsure emoji for me....

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Also 57.

Agree to disagree

I agree with this as well. Winfield was a better player (better in the run game and his instincts were really good), but maybe because he is bigger? No hate on Nubin because he’s been great too. Wish we had both for next year! Hopefully the Esko kid will stay as he’s needed!

No, not better. But he is a solid professional safety and Tampa loves him.

To be fair.....lots of teams whiffed on AWjr. Scared off due to his size. But if you check redraft rankings.....almost every single one has AWjr as a top 15 pick. PFF and Rotoballer have him as the 7th pick in their redrafts.

I was too young to remember that season really. I was only 9.

This surprises me - TN has been playing poorly since he got torched on that late TD in the Illinois game - got beat bad on that corner route on Wisconsin second TD and also Allen outran him on the first TD - then the second half happened - he has been part of our defensive issues

 

[MaxyJR1]

Hard to say this year. The play around him wasn’t very good and he seemed to try to make up for it with bad angles at times.

Still think he will be a top 3 round guy.

I mean his 5 picks are tied for 5th in the country.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

He did have 5 picks. He also played very inconsistent this year, would you agree?

 

[GopherinPhilly]

If his 40 time is hot...could be first rounder...

 

[Willwin40]

Is it just me or does Nubin look bigger and somewhat slower this year? Almost LB size.

 

[Dakota2]

Had you been there in the Dome, you would never forget the night he scooped and scored twice to break Syracuse.

 

[upnorthkid]

You said production. That is producing. I agree I would not have expected to see him this high

 

[1983]

Second round. Has a chance to have a NFL career but his combine is critical.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Yep I should have said performance.

 

[goldengophers]

3rd round at best.

 

[Jaykay]

Most mocks have him late first or early second, this one is probably the earliest I've seen though.
