Congratulations! (I almost said "congrats" but I could hear Kathy cringing) LOL - 61_Shasta - 04-27-2017
Congratulations to Solomon Thomas going #3 in the draft. Interesting, highest drafted non-QB from Stanford in history. (Plunkett, Elway, Luck)

And who got picked at #2 ahead of him by the Chicago Bairs, but Mitch Trubisky, the QB he opposed in the Sun Bowl. Lawl.
He put up 23 points on Stanford's defense, so he's got to be a budding legend, right?

GM Lynch earning some of his substantial salary by trading down a spot and getting picks and still getting his guy.

In addition to Plunkett, Elway, and Luck, there was another Stanford QB selected #1 overall:Â Bobby Garrett in 1954.
You are correct. I shouldn't use ESPN as my only source! - 61_Shasta - 04-27-2017
My bad...

To be fair, the Bears front office obviously missed the Sun Bowl.

Partying with McCaffrey?
And McCaffrey to the Panthers. - 61_Shasta - 04-27-2017
I had to double check the spelling to see if the "e" before "y" was there :P

McCaffrey #8 to Carolina. Guess the Panthers don't care that he skipped the Sun Bowl.

When is the last time (if ever) we have had two players picked in the top ten?
Re: Congratulations! (I almost said "congrats" but I could hear Kathy cringing) LOL - Embo - 04-27-2017
I know. 1978. James Lofton #6 to Green Bay. Gordon King #10 to New York Giants.
I'll take Stanford draft picks for $1200, Alex.

Congratulations to Christian and his family. I think this is a great team for him to be.

Well done. I apologize for my incorrect answer.

BTW, did anyone else think the Beavis-and-Butthead-style animated segment about Christian's athletic heritage was, um, pretty lame?

Amazing journey from the start of the 2016 season until now. I look forward to long, productive NFL careers from both of them as well as the rest of the Stanford rookies who have yet to hear their names called!

Gotta laugh at the Niners social media guy. They trade their #2 pick to the bears, who draft TURWITSKY, then the Niners draft Solomon Thomas with the third pick, and they post this...
