A year ago, Denver's

franchise was

graded “F” by

ESPN analysts on

Round One of

the NFL Draft…

Mel Kiper’s Gang

said, “Boo on

you, Broncos for

picking Tim Tebow”…

Now, it’s the

Minnesota Vikings who

get an “F”---due to

opting for FSU quarterback

Christian Ponder…

I say, “Wrong on Both--ESPN”…

I’m NOT suggesting Tebow

and Ponder were “A-pluses”---

but, PLEASE--no worse

than “C-minus”… Both kids

are “extremely smart”---

“great competitors”---

“exemplary human beings”…

“AMPLY talented”… In

3 or 4 years---ESPN might

owe “apologies” to

Tim ABD Christian…

… NFL Drafts are

always “intriguing”…

This time, the

Miami Hurricanes had

EIGHT players picked---

more than Florida and FSU “combined”---

but UM had a puny

7-and-5 record last season...

Randy Shannon was FIRED

as coach… Among the

three NFL franchises in

our state, Tampa Bay

did BEST---the Bucs are

building a formidable defense---

Ahmad Black now a part of that…

In all, 23 kids were drafted

from EIGHT different

Florida schools---all

but Bethune-Cookman…

Hurricanes had 8…

Gators 4…

FSU and Central Florida

3 apiece… BUT--you CANNOT

accurately grade this

draft until--- “at LEAST 2014”…

I’m Hubert Mizell, and

that’s what I think.
