The Athletic writers do an SEC draft...

[Maroon Eagle]

Kind of interesting. Five writers, so five teams:

But four State players drafted out of 110 available spots.

(Rogers in the 4th round, Forbes in the 6th, Jett Johnson in the 19th, Walley in the 21st)

Kind of low but maybe not unexpected given the number of writers/teams.

Same ole crap.

With college football only having 3-5 teams that matter in this era (Bama, UGA, Ohio State + two teams that just vaulted up the recruiting rankings), why would they need to know anything about the other 62 or so power 5 schools?

I don't routinely make grammar nerd posts because that's not the point of this board, but anyone who considers himself a writer and uses the word "myself" instead of "I" when the latter is called for is an ignorant piece of ****. Not to mention he should have written "and I" at the end of the list, rather than "myself" at the beginning. This one let me know he was worthless with the third word of his post, so he does have brevity working for him at least.

I hate to do this as well, but I think it should be "and I" not "and me" at the end of the list. Myself was definitely wrong though. The writer is the subject not the object. The simple way to know for sure is to remove the list and try the sentence... "I conducted a draft of SEC players..." Not "Myself or Me" conducted a draft.

I'm going to go hurt myself a little for grammar policing the grammar police.

ETA. I could be completely wrong on this though as I performed very poorly on the English section of the ACT.

Careful! Your writer is showing.

Don't ask me! Only one of my degree is in English and I left it in Mississippi.

You're absolutely right. I was so aggravated I fumbled the correction.

Fixed it.

So they put their money on the same players as the bag men?

It’s basically an All-SEC team with 5 teams. Did we have any other players on the all-sec coaches or media polls? (I know they don’t do 5 teams)
Who else would be close? Maybe Austin Williams?
