Polk goes undrafted in a heavy WR draft....who the hell is in these guys ears advising them to declare? Seems like we always have some declare a year too early. This ones about as disappointing as ?Bear? Wilson (RIP) and Josh Robinson. One more year in the air raid and he could have possibly made himself a 2-4 round pick, he?s got the talent and measurables, just needed to have more than just 1 solid season under him. With the NIL now, you can?t tell me we couldn?t make it worth him staying 1 more year. I?m sure he?ll get signed undrafted but I don?t think he?s as likely to make a roster as if he was drafted

I guess he didn’t do enough because his name wasn’t called. He got bad advice from someone and that’s my point. Who the hell is telling these guys with eligibility left to declare? If you declare with eligibility left and go undrafted, that’s a massive failure and costing these guys $ and a chance at a potential career as a professional athlete

Ehhh I don?t think he really benefits coming back. I definitely wish he did, but he is who he is. A lanky slow WR who is going to struggle with NFL press coverage and won?t get any separation on deep balls cause 4.6

But yeah personally he should?ve come back and gotten the free degree 100%

I have always been fascinated with the 40 yard speed/time measurement being a major decision factor in the draft or even in recruiting.

I bet there is not a person on this board that could double click a timer between 4.4 and 4.6 seconds. And I have never seen a CB who runs a 4.6 pull out a timer to see if the receiver he is covering can run 15 hundreds of a second faster than him. It?s like saying a boxer who is 6?3? 225 with a 78 inch reach is going to dominate the boxer who is 6?3? 215 with a 74 inch reach.

Exactly , it really only means something relatively within a certain range. Yea you can?t be a r b in the nfl with a 4.9 forty but when you get down to 4.4 to 4.6 where most everybody is it doesn?t mean much, Emmett smith did not have a good forty time I believe I?ve seen him as slow as 4.6 . Walter Payton,late in his career did likely not have a great forty time but he was still probably the greatest back of all time. Cutting ability, game speed when someone is chasing you , acceleration out of the hole, vision, anticipation...none of that is measured in the straight ahead forty. Physicality, stiff arm, breaking tackles....I?d take an old Payton over just about anybody playing today. Of course early in Payton?s career he was fast as hell. Can?t measure heart.

It was a stacked year for WR's and he could have worked another year at MSU and maybe been a 3rd-5th rounder. Is there no value in playing SEC football? Monetary-NIL, Academic?, Noteriarty? Should everyone who has accomplished all they can acommplish as juniors just not play as seniors? I really don't understand leaving school early if you aren't promised to be a 1st - 3rd rounder.

On a personal level he definitely should have come back to get a free degree and get laid for another year. Might have even snuck into one of the late rounds next year, but with our offense I doubt it. You have to have above average size, speed, or route running to be an effective NFL WR. He definitely doesn?t have the first 2, and our offense is what? 5 routes maybe? So not really a chance to showcase that either

Agree. This was the wrong year to come out as a WR. O lineman, receivers and DBs seem to be the mainstays of this draft. Very reciever heavy. Just based on numbers , Polk would have been better off coming back to school for one more year. That said he will make an nfl roster.

Polk does not have any physical limitations, he has good hands, size and adequate speed athleticism.

It's highly unlikely he makes an nfl roster. Sure some UDFAs do, but I'd bet a big sum he's not on the raven's roster after 4th preseason game

Odds of him making one are extremely low. I said odds are, not that he can't or won't. But it's a major long shot. And not being able to help special teams will hurt too. He's frail he's not going to be a gunner and he's too slow to be a return guy so it's wr or bust.

Both led the sec in receiving. Neither made an nfl roster. Lipscomb has made a PS.

Fred Ross was 2nd in sec in receptions and 4th in yards for us in 2015. He too was not drafted, and he never made the 53-man roster. He made the PS before being cut during his first season.

Already mentioned it a few times if you go back, but he doesn?t have above average size, speed, or route running. The first 2 are physical and won?t change, the route running is a product of our middle school offense we just don?t let receivers learn the full route tree here. He caught 100 balls and led the SEC in receiving this year and didnt get drafted. Not much left to prove or showcase. As I said earlier maybe he sneaks into round 6-7 if he came back, but NFL doesnt have interest in receivers who aren?t above average at at least one of the 3 traits.

He would have benefited coming back by getting a free degree

Irondawg
05-01-2022, 09:06 AM
Couple of things:

He needs to make a smart decision and pick a team he has the best chance to make the roster rather than the team that offers the most money.

Correct, he wasn?t going to get much ?better? with another year at MSU but he might have made some incremental improvement and put more tape out and with a potentially weaker wr class maybe he?s a 4-7 pick.

Hopefully he graduated and got his free degree as that and a potential free graduate degree would be worth something.

Simone brought up Fred Ross and I think Fred was a better wr than Polk and he couldn?t make it. I really thought Fred could carve out a role as a WR 4/5 for some teams.

Now Polk is a UDA that isn?t going to help on special teams probably. Odds are stacked against him but hope he makes it

What’s a joke is you comparing 5-9 Ryan Davis and his five touchdowns to Polk. You are just throwing crap out there to argue. How is Davis remotely comparable to Polk as a wide reciever ?

Ok loudmouth when Polk makes an nfl roster , I will be sure to remind you. Carry on arguing with yourself.

Both led the sec in receptions.
Both were undrafted

Polk this year led the sec in receptions, but was 40th in yds/rec. He's just not a plus athlete

One thing more concerning than Polk landing on a roster is the lack of MSU players being draftee. This is the 2nd year in row that we have had only 2 players drafted. Since 2010 we have had only 2 years, 14 and 17, we have had had less than 3 drafted. And next year who is even on the radar? Is it our player development, Scheme or just lack of talent? Even with the new NIL kids do look at this. I hope this is not a bad trend

It's highly unlikely he makes an nfl roster. Sure some UDFAs do, but I'd bet a big sum he's not on the raven's roster after 4th preseason game

There are no longer 4 preseason NFL games

Undrafted players should be allowed to return to college if they want

Bingo. There is absolutely no reason to force a football player out of college if he doesn't get drafted. Basketball either. Baseball has it correct. Everyone is draft eligible, they have leverage to get a better contract if they have another year. Teams know which players are coming back or not. It is much easier.

And the ravens need a wr. Good luck to him. He has a good shot at PS anyway. If he gets in PS, any team can sign him to an nfl deal any time

ETA... just thought about this more... day 2 was 2nd and 3rd round. I have a hard time believing that. That would mean those teams passed on him in 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th while having a 3-4th round grade.

What was Polk's contract for? Big UDFA deals are ~200k

I'm just glad we won't be giving 105 touches this year to an undraftable player that can't break a tackle or run away from anyone.

Polk was a solid player, but I'm optimistic that those 105 touches can be spread around to more explosive players and that should help the offense overall.

Imagine if we gave an undraftable RB 20 carries a game?

I'm with you 7. in fact I think I recall one of those "anonymous" NFL scouts commenting that his biggest concern was that Polk's gyrotational flexion lacks fluidity when in phase...

I would take him back and if he could do it again he would come back Id imagine. Somebody tried to make some money off him I hope he doesnt give them a dime of whatever he gets from Baltimore

I would for sure take him back. Just saying that those 105 touches going to guys that have a little more burst & physicality to break tackles, could help the offense & help us produce more big plays

Lol. The job of his agent is to find teams that need a wide reciever,

So no he has not signed a. O tract on the weekend of the draft. I?m sure he will though. Lol

The job of agents is to tell ALL of their clients they will be first rounders so the few who do get drafted will pay for the agent?s new Bugatti.

Don't think I'll lose sleep over wide receiver play in year 3 forward of Mike Leach teams. Much like quarterbacks in his system, someone will produce.

You also have to remember that Polk played in a short passing game O. We don't stretch the field. He is a great possession WR. There are valuable spots in the NFL for those kind of guys. Someone may get lucky with him.

MSU had a 3rd string WR make an NFL roster under Croom as a possession WR.

If you think we are going to struggle at receiver this year you have got another thing coming. We may struggle at left tackle or safety or possibly right tackle, but our receivers are going to be fine.

Exactly. We have several more "talented" receivers than Polk. They just need to put it all together this year. And a few of them will.

Walley played on one leg for the majority of the season. I expect him to be 100% this year and have a great season.

Well he is now the SEC hit leader. Nothing for his career but he does have that. It will probably stand for a while.
