Sorry, but I had a family emergency and missed the first two days of the NFL draft. Will someone please recap for me all of the Dave Aranda players that got drafted in Rds 1, 2, or 3?

Thanks so much.......

You didn't miss much..

Dave's only had 4 classes so far right? The majority of his guys are still playing CFB; those in his first class are seniors and like everywhere he's lost some to the portal. Then he's got some 3 year guys & some 2 year guys, and younger. So which of his guys does the OP think should've been picked that weren't?

You don't actually have to be a senior to declare for the draft. Plenty of sophomores get taken in the first round. So that's a weird attempt to defend Dave

---

It wasn't a weird attempt to defend Dave. It's a dumbass comment to act like we had players that would be drafted in the first round. This fan base is exhausting at times. You **** on the coach then **** on the players but for some reason we can't get you to go away. When you don't care about something you tend to go away. We can get rid of y'all. We get it your not on board yet you keep hanging around like a jaded ex

Ok Mack. Again, you don't need to be a senior to be drafted. I actually love Dave, hence my username. Not a big loss that none of his players are getting drafted. I'm just happy that no scandals are happening

---

Again what player would be dumb enough to enter the draft when you're not invited to the combine and you still have eligibility. We had maybe one player go to the combine this year. Color me suprised we we didn't have a player drafted in the first 3 rounds

Exactly. General thought is, "well, this year sucks so maybe things will be better next year". So it's either a lack of talent, or Dave simply lacks the coaching ability to showcase that talent. Either way, there is no way you can spin this such that Dave doesn't get the blame. And again, you don't need to be a senior to be drafted. it was a dumb argument. But like I said, I'm glad you like Dave. I like him too. I hope he will be our coach for 100 more years.

I am aware, just waiting for the OP to name names

It's just a troll thread.

Still out of pocket, with family at the hospital. But I hear the draft is well into the 5th round. PLEASE update me on Aranda's players taken so far. Heard Gabe has a shot too, so which team snatched him?

And.....which team selected Charlie Brewer III? That dude was Heisman worthy per some Baylor fans so certainly he's swept up by now.

I'm glad you like Dave. I'm not sure it's him or the players at this point. Either way I bought my tickets and made my mind up that I will give it one more go. This year is make or break for me and a should be the same for Dave and Mack both. I just don't expect to keep piling on what you all have called a dumpster fire tenure. If he sucks and the players suck then why would I expect them to get drafted. We have had far better (or productive) players in this program to undrafted

Just saw that UTEP had someone drafted

English rugby lad just was drafted

16 schools in the new big 12… And a total of 10 kids drafted

#Baylor Football shutout of NFL Draft for the first time since 2018. I thought Gabe Hall might land somewhere in the late rounds, but that was not the case.

Second most of all conferences. A stain on all involved that this league was allowed to die. https://t.co/AFaEQ17jTx

Gabe Hall is a good example of a player with NFL ability but lacked motivation and development to reach his potential.

"We're not an institution of football". PLEASE… let it be known. There is no reason for these draft threads, the draft is for athletes.

I think this is a little misleading because there are a much higher number of 3* and below than 4* and above

Breakdown of 2024 #NFLDraft by Recruiting Stars
-------------------
15 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 6%
72 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 28%
128 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 50%

16% of players drafted this year were two stars or not even ranked by most recruiting services.

shocking considering we have a defensive coordinator with as fine of a pedigree as he has. if you're wondering...i'll hit the highlights -> tight ends coach at ULM, special teams coordinator at Sam Houston state, and don't forget running backs coach at northwestern state. if you're wondering if he only coached offense before coming to Baylor...the answer is no. Per Powledge's Oregon bio, in 2018-2019, "Powledge moved south and took his first job on the defensive side of the ball as the outside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at Louisiana." Incredible! 6 years coaching defense after playing at the prestigious aforementioned Sam Houston state and coaching offense for several more; the man is built to churn out NFL talent.

You can't coach desire or teach someone to have a motor. You can't just say you want it. Have to put I the work and that's for all aspects of life not just sports

So then you are saying it is Aranda and his staff's inability to recruit well and then inability to retain that talent by demonstrating they can get them to the next level?

aranda's made more "bad" decisions than "good" decisions during his tenure. and frankly i don't think it's close. from grimes to brewer to powledge to pretty much any in-game decision to personnel disasters - it's been a comedy of errors. if he can't be trusted to make the simplest of "good" decisions, how could anyone in this fan base expect a player to develop which is like 2nd and 3rd level type stuff? aranda is not a head coach, he's not a program leader, he's not a CEO. he may very well be a great DC...couldn't tell you. long-winded response but yes, Aranda has made bad personnel decisions, which have looked worse with horrible coaching calls, which have looked worse with pathetic losses, which have looked worse with emphasis on person over player, which have looked worse with press conferences talking about how great practices have been.

That's not a loss. He probably wouldn't have started here.


Am I doing it right?
