Pre-draft caste system in full effect. Here is a run down of all the east-west shrine game attendees. No white WRs or RBs. The DB position is flat out ignored even though we have about 10 quality white DBs who are eligible in this draft cycle. 34 out of approx 120 invites are white players. I expect the same if not worse for the Senior Bowl.

Even the NFLPA bowl is managing to find black scrubs to fill their roster. It's so damn frustrating. I am spamming the NFL Combine email address with the list of players that should be invited to the combine.

Wow, that was hard to watch. The fact that someone like this is taking up precious space at a prestigious university is symbolic of everything that's wrong with this country and society in general. Of course, he's also from South Florida as well. Perfect representative to let the entire world know what a f**king dump this place is!

Feel the same Damn way. Recently moved from Midwest to Louisville area and it's pathetic how the mostly(70% white in metro area) DWFs fan over him and the rest of their affletes from da sunshine state. Their 1st Heisman winner led their beloved Cards to a 9-4 record capped off by his worst performance of the year in their bowl game debacle against LSU. On top of this his incredible language skills lol, but the coaches assure us he is a bright young man brimming with never ending upside. Heisman has turned into a joke of an award by the way!

I cringed throughout the whole video and genuinely felt bad for how stupid he looked and sounded. However, I am certain that come draft time in a year or two, the Caste-Cucks will be telling us how much of a genius Mr Jackson is.
I'm not being hyperbolic.
This same media told us with a straight face that Jameez Winston was the smartest quarterback they've encountered since Peyton Manning. That's right, another negro from the Deep South that speaks roughly the same bastardized English that his cotton picking ancestors did. At least they had a good excuse.
If I had to wager, I'd put Jameez' IQ around 85, the sweet spot for criminality. Jackson strikes me as less intelligent then him. Unless he is an idiot savant when it comes to football, I can't see anyway he's successful as an NFL quarterback.
I can't wait to see which NFL team drafts Jackson, generously providing us the source of lots of lol posts for years to come.
That was pitiful. Embarrassing. His command of English is 4th grade.

I almost kind of feel bad for making fun of Jackson, both for the way he looks and the way he sounds. But then I remember he's getting a free ride through a major university and could possibly make millions in the NFL as well and that sympathy dries up really quick!
If a black player and a white player are evaluated and regarded as approximately equal for the draft, the black player must obviously be picked first, and/or the white player ignored, because the "black community" needs the economic benefit from NFL work more than the "white community". Don't forget about the NFL's status (relationship) in U.S. society boys -socialism 101!

Jackson won't be an NFL QB and if he is drafted as one he won't be a successful one.

Where do you all think QB Kelly will go?
With his injury and off the field issues a team may be able to get him in the third. Is it worth it?

Green Bay would be a perfect landing spot for Christian McCaffery. The Packers need help at running back, McCaffery is a good one and may be available when the Packers draft.
Imagine putting a game breaking running back on the Packers along with Aaron Rodgers.

Kelly's knee injury, rushing on the field at his brother's football game and the pot pictures will all probably knock him out of the first three rounds. If he had not sustained that knee injury he would of been no less than a second rounder in my opinion. His boneheaded antics off the field probably knocked him down as well. I would say 4th round is the best case scenario - hopefully he does some damage control at the combine and senior bowl and builds up is reputation. He was the best senior QB in this class and is more talented than Watson, Kizer and Kaaya so if a team felt safe drafting him the third round would be a steal.

In this "mock draft" from Fox Sports just yesterday, the Packers were slotted to take McCaffrey...
http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/gallery/nfl-mock-draft-2017-first-round-projection-team-needs
There were 4 whites projected to be picked in the 1st round. One QB (Trubisky), two OL (Ramczyk and Bolles), and one RB (McCaffrey).
Does anyone know the last time a white RB (or ball-carrier) was selected in the 1st round? Off the top of my head, here is a list of all the relevant white ball-carries of the past 20 years and where they were drafted...
2nd Round:
Toby Gerhart
Brian Leonard
Rob Konrad
Mike Alstott
3rd Round:
Heath Evans
Jacob Hester
5th, 6th, or 7th Round:
Luke Staley
Brock Forsey
Peyton Hillis
Rex Burkhead
Undrafted:
Brad Hoover
Dusty McGrorty
Kyle Eckel
Danny Woodhead
Zach Zenner
Let me know if I've omitted anyone. I realize that some of the guys on this list were RB's in college, but were re-labeled as FB's during the draft. Also, I'm aware that there were a plethora of other white RB's in the NFL over the last 20 years, but these were the ones who were either drafted, started, or received some playing time. Guys like Cory Schlesinger and Jim Kleinsasser were drafted and received significant carries at times, but were never considered RB's in the pros. Nor are guys like Andy Janovich, Aaron Ripkowski, John Kuhn, or Kyle Juszcyk in today's NFL.

Tommy Vardell was drafted in the first round by the Browns in 1992 (9th overall). Brad Muster was drafted in the first round by the Bears (during the Ditka era) in 1988. Both played at Stanford.
Both were labeled halfback-fullback "tweeners" much like Mike Alstott. Vardell had a promising second season, running for 644 yards before knee injuries ruined his career. Muster's best season was 664 rushing yards in 1990.
You just beat me Don...was going thru a lot of info.....Nice list Trashen...top of my head it will be 25 years since white tailback has been Drafted in 1st Round? ?? Unless i missing some one...
1988 1st Round 23rd pick..... Brad Muster(Stanford) ....1st Round...to Bears .....had an OK career..but NEVER given the opportunity to be "Feature Back"..used as receiver plenty/almost TE size
1992.....1st Round/ 9th Pick Tommy Vardell (Stanford) Pretty much a Fullback...career long run of 54 yards
7th Round...Gil Fenerty (Holy Cross/via LSU)....FEATURE Back led Saints in Rushing
UNDRAFTED
Keith Elias (Princeton)....NY Giants....pure Tailback
Blake Ezor (Michigan St) ...Colts... 5'-8" 180...One game wonder rushed for 82 yards vs Broncos
Scott Lockwood (USC)...Patriots...Tailback...100 yd game

I'm hoping that if he does get drafted, he makes a position change a la Terrelle Pryor, Denard Robinson, etc..
