Dr Z Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 ...according to Charean Williams. Joeckel apparently has been told by KC that Fisher is their pick. More from NFL.com Quote
LZIp Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 shouldnt we be supportive of a player in our conference getting picked first overall? Quote
ZachTheZip Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 This is good for the MAC, and good for Akron. It says that you can play for a MAC school and still be taken #1 overall and make the big NFL money. Even better, there's a good possibility that no Big Ten player will be selected in the first round. Quote
Dave in Green Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 @ZachTheZip, you nailed it. And you can bet if it happens that Coach Bowden will do a great job of leveraging it in his recruiting. Quote
Dr Z Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Posted April 26, 2013 Two star recruit from the MAC is the first selection in the NFL draft. I like in an interview an hour before the draft Fisher made viewers aware of the MACs stas on first round picks. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Good for Eric! I wonder how well he recalls Ianello going for two? :lol: Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Good for Eric! I wonder how well he recalls Ianello going for two? :lol: Not as well as I do. Quote
mes102 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Good for Eric! I wonder how well he recalls Ianello going for two? :lol: which one? going for two in regulation, or overtime? Quote
Dr Z Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Posted April 26, 2013 I'll guess OG Brian Winters from Ken+ gets drafted next, followed by Dysert. Winters might be selected today, Dysert Saturday. I wouldn't mind seeing the Steelers get Dysert with one of their 6th round picks. PS Is anyone going to take someone from the Big Ten today, no player selected yet?!? Edit: I guess I fell asleep when the center from Wisky got drafted. Quote
GP1 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 PS Is anyone going to take someone from the Big Ten today, no player selected yet?!? Edit: I guess I fell asleep when the center from Wisky got drafted. Funny, the same thing happens to me when I watch Big Ten football games. Quote
legendofzippy Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 This is great for the conference, but for recruiting I'm not sure it really changes much. There's a ton of MAC talent in the NFL, so that's already a selling point. The problem is that if you're going to the MAC, we're not the top choice. I'm afraid we're still in the bottom half. I love what Bowden's doing, but boy does he have a lot of ground to make up. Quote
MDZip Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 More from NFL.com I think it's great that the MAC had a #1 pick. Of course I do find this part of his bio on NFL.com funny and telling: He fell through the recruiting cracks a bit as a 250-pound tackle coming out of Stoney Creek High School in Michigan Hmm, now why would that be? Because he didn't end up at Alabama? The bias is amazing at times Was nice to see this in the AP story though. Miami, envisioning Jordan as the next Jason Taylor, sent its first-rounder (12th overall) and this year's second-rounder to Oakland. Quote

No. Because he ended up at Central friggin Michigan. Quote
Dave in Green Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 Good call, Dr Z. The #2 MAC player selected in the draft is Brian Winters. He's the 72nd player selected, and goes to the New York Jets. Quote
Dr Z Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 Dysert drafted in the 7th round by Denver (Like I stated before the draft, I was hoping the Steelers took him in the 6th) BGSU's Chris Jones selected in the 6th by the Texans. OU's Eric Herman drafted in the 7th by the Giants Fisher and Winters mentioned above. Total MAC players drafted 5? Quote

MDZip Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 According the the MAC web site there were 7 MAC players drafted. Interesting that none came from the MAC champs and every MAC East school except the Zips was represented. I knew the East was better. 1st Round: OT Eric Fisher, Central Michigan (No. 1 overall), Kansas City Chiefs 3rd Round: OL Brian Winters, Can't State (No. 72 overall), New York Jets 5th Round: DL Steven Means, Buffalo (No. 147 overall), Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6th Round: DT Chris Jones, Bowling Green (No. 198 overall), Houston Texans 7th Round: OL Eric Herman, Ohio (No. 225 overall), New York Giants 7th Round: QB Zac Dysert, Miami (No. 234 overall), Denver Broncos 7th Round: RB Michael Cox, UMass (No. 253 overall), New York Giants Quote

LZIp Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 We should get credit for 75% of the Temple players drafted. and the MAC would still have 7 players drafted. Quote
Zipmeister Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 and the MAC would still have 7 players drafted. In that case, I think the MAC should be entitled to claim 100% of any Temple players drafted. Quote
Dave in Green Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 So the MAC only gets 50% credit for the UMass player? Quote
LZIp Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 So the MAC only gets 50% credit for the UMass player? Should be 25% Dammit. I dont like this game. We just went from 7 to 6 1/4 draft picks. Quote
Zipmeister Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Should be 25% Dammit. I dont like this game. We just went from 7 to 6/14 draft picks. Education major? Quote
