Off topic/ Mel Kiper has Josh Doctson

[carbonpoke]

Getting drafted by Minnesota at pick #23. Which is kinda curious, not that his prediction means anything, but it's crazy he became an first team all American at TCU.

Another side note, just saw Calvin Johnson retired... Holy shit, it's like Barry Sanders in Detroit again. I would retire after 10 years in that franchise as well. Do the lion's even have a fan base anymore?

Also saw that the Vikings built their brand new stadium, and just recently noticed that the street it was built on is Chicago Street... Lmao, now they are asking the city if they can rename the street.

The street was previously named Kirby Puckett Way when the Metrodome was there and the Twins shared the facility with the Vikings, so there's precedent there. Bud Grant also recently got a street renamed in his honor next to the stadium.

Personally, would love Doctson in Minnesota! Late 1st is the high end of his draft range. Wouldn't surprise me if he slips to 2nd.

he coulda been special at UW too, i think

He was special... look at the freshman year he had compared to some of our heralded freshman last year.

He had a nice freshman year. But let's be honest...the freshman wr's on last years team didn't have a wr coach. And, they didn't have Brett Smith throwing them balls. Different system too. However, James Price finished his freshman year off nicely.
