Had one great season with Mizzou, got dismissed from the team and wound up at OK. Sat out this year and has now declared for the draft (well done, Bob. That transfer helped a lot). Not sure if the NFL will even draft him as he wasn't exactly dominant at college and hasn't played a down in 2 years. Is he draftable?

Edit: Dyslexia, I guess. Got the hyphenated name backwards. Fixed.

1st round top 10 talent. he won't slip past the 2nd round

Could his draft status have an effect on UL's five star transfer? Similar situations and I would assume similar talent.

This.

The NFL doesn't pass up on that kind of talent.
 
I'm surprised. Is he really first round talent? Seems like he's very big but not exceptionally fast, IIRC. Had, what, 8 TDs his soph yr but 4 of those were against UK who, for whatever reason, kept guarding him one-on-one with a much shorter DB near the goalline. Certainly off the field issues will figure into it somewhat. I'm just not that sold on him. Certainly not as much talent or production as Amari Cooper, for example, or Parker at UofL. Maybe I just missed something.
 
You don't have to be a Cooper or Parker to become an instant millionaire, and how much difference is there in living in an apartment or athletic complex and having a few million to spend? Although he probably already has a new car at UL.

Remember what that wise old sage said, it is a microwave society, or does that only apply to UK fans?

I don't fault top talent not wanting to play much college & screw themselves over with injuries before signing.
 
He is a huge WR, almost TE size if the combine shows his speed to be what was claimed, 4.35-4.45 range, he would be the another Calvin Johnson and go in the top half of the first round and could be the first WR taken, physically he would be on another level from everyone else. If his speed ends up being in the 4.6 range someone will take him, probably not first couple rounds though.

Not a surprise at all he is coming out and never played a snap at OU. Josh Harvey Clemons was a 5* the same year and is eligible to come up, guy who transferred to Louisville when he dismissed from UGA, and won't surprise me if he announces he is coming out either, but he won't be a first day pick, probably 4th round down. But then again, Louisville has less rules than the NFL to follow.
 
Bobby could've used him this year...could use him next season...

but agree...dude is freakish...size, speed, athleticism, ability, etc...the type of dude that if I'm a franchise QB with some pull, I'm going to my owner and saying "I want to throw to him..."...

...he will be a steal...had he played this season and done remotely well, he'd be top 10 probably...maybe top 5...

Give Blake Bortles, or Derek Carr that kid...and you got yourself a QB WR duo, that will produce for the next 10-12...
 
I would be shocked if he went in the first round. There are multiple better WRs than him that played this year.
 
Or the Patriots will trade their 4th rd pick for two 2nd rd picks in 2016. They'll then turn around and draft DGB in the 5th rd, clean up his act, and turn him into the next Randy Moss. Brady gets a Superbowl ring for his big toe.....(Gisele thinks toe rings are all the rage). And Belichek is later quoted saying, "Gee, heck, I don't know. DGB should get all the credit. He really worked hard."
