    OK. If you said so, it's true.

    Wait. I get it now.

    Had I said, "Sadly, some teams passed on him because they didn't want a media circus at training camp," then everything would have been A-OK!

    Stupid me, I thought that was a given.

    Not the point. Good intentions, obviously, but the aim was high and outside.

    But since you asked so nicely (seriously, don't you tire of being a snarky dick to everyone you encounter on here?) ...

    Michael Sam was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year. The skill set between FBS and NFL is closer than it has ever been.

    My totally untrained assessment would be ... late fourth round at worst.

    He was projected to go in the 6th after his shit combine, but I guess after all the film you watched you decided he was worth a fourth.

    You may be right on Sam, Bortles, Carr, Savage and the like but if you are, it's purely a guess.

    DAMN it, you are dense.

    You have one of three ways to go on this one.

    1) Accept that nobody you're talking to on this thread is an NFL scout and somehow come to the realization that if everybody had to be an expert to post here, there would be NO FUCKING MESSAGE BOARD.

    2) Produce your own damn credentials that will prove you're more qualified to make this judgment than everyone else here.

    3) STFU and stop trolling.

    UVA has been recruiting Canadians for a few years now. Austin Pasztor, now with the Jags, was the first, followed by Urban. I think they have two Canadians on the roster now. Pasztor and Urban have been the most successful by a wide margin.

    A lot of it has to do with having Fork Union Military Academy a few miles outside of town. They've been getting Canadians for a while.

    So I guess the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year is gayer than Michael Sam.

    Because he went undrafted…

    Which disturbs Mark more, the same sex nature of Michael Sam's relationship, or the inter-racial aspect?

    And that's the case for anybody's opinion on anybody who was drafted.

    You really think there are people here who aren't just guessing?
