Cardale Jones to declare for NFL draft

[mall3013]

Will announce today in Cleveland at 4pm. I predict he goes 4th or 5th round. Any interest in this mammoth? Huge arm, can run well, very athletic for a big guy. I'm not sure if he fits Chips system however. He has Steelers or possibly Cowboys written all over him.

I would be okay with taking a shot on him in the 5th round. Surprised he would take his talents to the NFL at this stage. But I guess he feels like he can't win the job in the spring and wants to capitalize when he can.

Yeah he doesnt seem like he would be Chips style and i think we need a little more work with the D this draft

His stock is probably the highest it will ever be at this stage. He has a child. The draft is light on QBs, which benefits him IMO. I think a team like the Steelers would be a great fit for him. Learning from Big Ben for a couple of seasons and he can take over.

On another note. As a Buckeye fan, I worry that some booster or agent would offer money if he stayed for another season. The guy wants to make money. It's a good move and I will dearly miss him. We can't afford sanctions against us again. Urbs has done a great job of keeping shit clean and hopefully it remains that way.

Agree with addressing the D. However, you can address it with both draft and via FA. I'd look into a WR possibly in this draft.

Urbs is as clean as a 2C hooker.

Isn't this the kid who made the moronic comments about going to class? Very immature and not shocking he knocked some girl up already.

I don't feel as though he can read a defense....he stands there patting the ball....He has absolutely no clue of what a pre snap read is. I may be willing to take a shot in rd 5 or later hoping he may develop into something, but that is about it. I do like his arm, and he sure can spin it.

 

[DaEagles]

He will go in round 3.

He has to come out now if he's going to cause his stock won't be any higher. He would be coming back as the 3rd stringer again (unless Braxton leaves to another school).

I don't want him here. He reminds me of a Culpepper. Huge cannon with some mobility. Could see Steelers as they need to find Big Bens replacement soon.

Shit.. I should have known this was coming. PSU fans taking that jab at my school.

 

[DaEagles]

Dumb move on his part

 

[Dolemite censored]

The media caused this.

He just made an announcement.

He likes Twitter...you do that from you house.

Although after watching it, It seems some others may have wanted him to do it this way.

 

[mall3013]

Wow!! I did not see this coming. Holy shit.. The B1G is going to have to deal with JT and Cardale now. Possibly Brax as well, although I think he's gone. Sorry for putting this thread up my fellow Eagle fans.

The word is "honest." You spelled it wrong.

What an incredible decision. Normally I am the first one to tell a kid to stay in school but imagine his options.

He could return to stay and be guaranteed nothing (except a scholarship and unlimited tail). OR

He could declare for the draft and see where he goes. Worst case here is he goes lower but I think a lot of teams would be willing to bring him in and teach him. I bet the Eagles would. I doubt he would make it out of the 3rd round. That's anicesigning bonus and a guarantee of 3 years unless he is caught raping kittens or some shit. Best case is somebody springs for him late 1st-early 2nd and he gets since signing bonus and potentially a good chance to compete.

Gotta hand it to this kid, it's a ballsy call to turn down that paycheck.
