I held this stat since the middle of last week waiting for the NFL Draft to conclude….and then Luke DeCock went and ruined it for me on Twitter over the weekend 🙂 N.C. State could be shut out of the draft for the first time since 1996. A late flier (Rob Crisp? Wil Baumann?) is […]

NFL Talent? Look to five states
24 players on current NFL rosters. 1st amongst NC schools & 4th in the ACC. #ACC #NFL #WOLFPACK pic.twitter.com/3yUijaHe7C — Desmond Kitchings (@coachdeskitch) April 29, 2014 On the heels of last week’s NFL Draft that saw the ACC turn in a solid outing with its second-highest number of draft picks in history (42), a few […]
Mack Brown = Tom O’Brien?
Ok…maybe not. But the similarities in the way they left their programs are not as stark as one might imagine. As if the lack of talent on the Wolfpack roster wasn’t obvious enough to all who endured the awful 2013 season, the 2014 NFL Draft surely did little to indicate that Debbie Yow did anything […]
Nate’s a Bronco!!!
 Congratulations to Nate Irving for going much higher than expected. John Fox knows defense, and apparently he liked what he saw on film. This Bronco fan is very, very pleased to have more incentive to hit the sports bar whenever the stupid f-ing lockout ends. Here’s a link to the brief article on the […]
NFL Draft Open Thread
One of my favorite nights of the year is upon us – first round coverage of the NFL draft. Although we will have to wait until the weekend to hear Nate Irving’s name called, there’s still plenty of interesting things going on. We’ve been talking about the Panthers’ likely (and stupid) decision to draft Cam […]
Kiper fallout related to the UNC scandals and increasing national scrutiny of Butch (Day 91)
I don’t have a lot of time tonight, but I am going to pass along a few things. First, some quick “dot connecting” that grew out of the big Sports Illustrated piece that hit yesterday. One interesting passage from that article dealt with “NFL draft guru” Mel Kiper. He is the annoying guy with the “Lego man” […]
Add the New England Patriots to list of favs to follow
The NFL Draft is over and the pundits will slice and dice the moves of all 32 NFL franchises for the coming weeks. One organization that is receiving relatively high marks for their draft is the New England Patriots. That is good news for NC State fans as the moves around the draft elevated the […]
Baker, Young hope for improved stock following Pro Day
How fast can you run 40 yards? How high can you jump? How many times can you push 225 lbs. off your chest? NFL Scouting is a numbers game. Whether or not those numbers have any impact on who can actually play football is anybody’s guess, but every NFL team relies on a select few […]
Andre Brown: The steal of the NFL Draft?
Most of us were a little surprised when Andre Brown fell to the 4th round of this year’s NFL Draft. But, with that fall also comes a set of expectations that may be easier to reach on a relative basis. Brown is already turning heads in New York. (Link) The more I hear about Brown, […]
Hill & Brown drafted in the 4th round
ACCNow’s entry – Link Anthony Hill The Texans’ complemented their current pass-catching tight end (Owen Daniels) with Anthony Hill who was considered by some to be the best blocking TE in the draft. Hill joins Wolfpacker Mario Williams on an improving club who went 8-8 in one of the toughest divisions in football. The Texans […]
