Why have we had such tough luck with receivers?

  • It all starts with the QB. Find the right QB and he will make everyone around
    him alot better, including the coaches.....

    The state of Texas produces a lot of good throwing QB's. We have been
    swinging and missing bad at this position....

    Well your premise is incorrect imo. I believe we have a number of great coaches right now. Including LB/DC; QB/OC; OL; DL; and DB.

    I hope you are right, but a really doubt it..Akina been here 11 yrs and has 12 draft picks and 5 1st rnd picks. He has 4 starters on any given yr, so around 45% chance that one is a 1st round pick. That would apply to DL. Almost a 57% chance of a first rnd pick at O-line every yr. If you look at draft picks he is averaging about 27% per yr (that is low, because assumes 4 new players a yr). That would be around 6 players a yr drafted every yr. In a 7 rnd draft that would be an amazing number. I am not sure this changes your mind, but I think this post should be a mandatory read for any DB recruit.
