Anyone notice page 55 of the 4-20 issue of Sports Illustrated, where Zack is listed as the 243rd pick in the First 300 of the NFL draft ... and again on p. 94.

Where did Tripp go? I don't know but 243 seems late... What is that? Late 7th round?

Jordan Tripp was drafted in the 5th round (171st overall).

Thx. Earlier, I'd have thought that Wags would have gone in the same area as Tripp with the premium on edge pass rushers. Now, I don't know.... The NFL Draft is a crap shoot.....

Good attempt at a point, but you just don't get it........

Being that Tripp is a physical specimen at OLB and Wags is an undersized, weaker then avg, untested against "superior talent", with "less expierience" then most of the DE's; I'd be surprised to see him get drafted. Nothing against Wags, I'm guessing that's how the NFL will see it. Then when he gets his FA contract to a team that could really use him, he will begin to prove them all wrong.

243 is 7th round. I could see that happening. I could also see your scenario play out exactly. :lol:

He would be considered a project and alot of teams like to use they're 6th and 7th rd picks on projects. Sometimes those guys don't end up on teams that really need them though like they would if they would sign a FA deal. Sometimes FA deals get you in a better situation. Being drafted does get him more $ and credibility though.

We all know what he can do, the rest of the NFl might not be so sure.

For those who do not get SI, here's how the information stacks up.

At 247 pounds, Wags is undersized compared to most of the DEs listed by SI -- who average out at about 270. However, the top-rated DE on their list (#18 overall, Shane Ray from Missouri) only weighs 245, and there are four other DEs in the 242 to 252 range. The assessment reads:

Pros: Gets in backfield relatively consistently. Excellent backside pursuit.
Cons: Strength is a concern.

NFL Comp: Kroy Biermann

Being compared to Kroy is not a bad thing, BTW. I too think Wags will do better not being drafted and getting picked up as a free agent. Natural growth -- he's still a young man, after all -- and the right training program should allow him to bulk up without losing his quickness and speed. And experience will only improve his football instincts and smarts.
