The NFL Network crew was really complimentary of PJ Fleck after that pick.

It was so nice to hear that our program has developed a reputation.

 

[GopherGold01]

Nice. Now we just need Brosmer to go before Saunders

 

[GophersInIowa]

The best part is Johnathan Taylor had to announce him.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Lol no one would have bet he went before Sanders. Pretty nice

The way it's going, Brosmer might get drafted before Shadeur.

Wish the Vikings would have had the draft choices to take Justin. One of my favorite Gophers since Winfield.

I pretty much saw the same player as Ballard. We'll find out whether we are both crazy or not.

 

[hungan1]

He mentioned good character.

 

[GopherGold01]

Let's not forget his abs are legally considered a deadly weapon

Forget six-pack, Wally has six-shooter abs!

 

[gopherbadgerman]

He was a good player for us and I enjoyed watching him play. Hopefully he has success at Indy. Being picked in the 3rd round usually means they expect you to be on the field as a rookie.

Yep, I was shocked how low he was rated on some boards. I can't envision a scenario where he isn't a better than average nickel, at a minimum.

Man it seems like teams get so caught up in a players measurables that sometimes they forget they’re drafting a football player and discount on field production. I look at the Bengals drafting Shemar Stewart and kind of shake my head. Maybe he’ll turn out to be a great NFL player but all that physical ability didn’t amount to a lot production in college.

Right, but then Walley ran a 4.40 at the combine so I thought be would be rated a lot higher. Looks like the Colts agreed

Another Gopher DB that is going to surprise.

I hear what you're saying, but it's kinda like Boye Mafe. Physical specimen who didn't put it together as much as we would've liked to have seen (was still a great disruptor) but got the right attention at the pro level and is now a pretty reliable situational guy for the seahawks
