2014 NFL Draft: Rounds 2-3

From what I hear, Spencer Long could project to C.

But no let's get they guy who tore his MCL last year..

I think the problem is (and I'm sure part of this problem) people hating on a pick because they don't know the name. Would the reaction have been the same if we took Yankey? Probably not.


There is a reason we know one name and not another though. Lol. This guy would have been there in probably the fifth round. Maybe the sixth. Do we think THAT much of him to take him in the third? I guess so. Idk.

wow. houston is gonna be nasty up front were gonna have our damn hands full week one

10/15/13 - Nebraska has lost its top offensive lineman, most likely for the rest of the year. Coach Bo Pelini said Tuesday that Spencer Long will have surgery Thursday on his left knee. Long was hurt on the Huskers' fifth play from scrimmage on Saturday at Purdue. Nebraska won the game 44-7. Long was an Outland Trophy candidate after making first-team All-Big Ten and second-team All-American in 2012. Pelini says it looks like Long is gone for the year, "but the prognosis going forward's a little bit better." - AP Sports

Not a terrible pick.

Sheesh, people act like like we just picked a punter with a high round pick or something. SMH.

To be fair I think its more that he was graded as a 6th rounder by ESPN and 7th rounder by CBS. Not to mention Yankey {OG Stan} and Nix {NT ND} was still on the board. Personally though I have a hard time being mad about picking OL.

I think the problem is (and I'm sure part of this problem) people hating on a pick because they don't know the name. Would the reaction have been the same if we took Yankey? Probably not.

Or maybe because he's coming off an injury and was projected as a 6th rounder or even undrafted. I like addressing the line but saw Yankey or even maybe wait for Richardson from Baylor in a round or two and then use the pick on Brooks from FSU.

Has McGill been taken yet?

FWIW the front office seems to be putting a premium on high motor players. After all they passed up Moses initially for Murphy and then with that last pick Spencer Long {OG Neb} they got a guy who was a former walk on.

Yes, and I like it.

Spencer Long is Jake's brother. He's a smart boy - repeatedly All-Academic. He's a walk on who worked hard.

Hope they all turn out well. Cyas tomorrow! #httr

They have no offense though.
