You don't seem understand the difference between mid 5th round draft choice money (aprox avg = $600K annually, including a $300K guaranteed one-time signing bonus), and late 2nd round draft choice money ($1.5M to $2.2M annually, with a guaranteed signing bonus of $2.5M). You're a financial manager....well, run those numbers on the difference in those salaries over a career, and then come back and tell us what you find.Originally Posted by johnnylightnin
If you think a good performance in a 3rd rate bowl is going to propel AR into the 2nd round, you’re more nuts than I thought.You don't seem understand the difference between mid 5th round draft choice money (avg = $600K annually, including a $300K guaranteed one-time signing bonus), and late 2nd round draft choice money ($1.5M to $2.2M annually, with a guaranteed signing bonus of $2.5M).

Run 0 compared with 5th round money.
Taking this a different direction.....
Is there a date by which they have to declare? If so, should fans wait until that date or after to buy their bowl tickets if their favorite team has 1 or more players projected to enter the draft? If Trevor Lawrence was going to sit out, I would want to know before I got tickets. Not saying this should be a consideration in this case or equating the value of Lawrence participating to Robertson. Just asking opinion.
Dude! Amik didn't win the Heisman Trophy.
We get the same story every year from well intended Tech fans like you who say about our athletes...."he'll go in the 2nd round" (Taylor, Henderson, etc..), or "he's a 1st or 2nd rounder" (Ferguson), "He's at least a 2nd or 3rd rounder" (Dixon, Driskel, etc..) only come draft day REALITY sets in. Get a clue for goodness sake. Our guys need all the exposure they can get, so come draft day people aren't saying "who the hell is that?"
The Indy Bowl on national TV against Miami offers athletes like Amik his very best opportunity to be seen by more people in one day than any game he's played in all year. It just seems senseless to walk away from that opportunity because your scared of getting hurt.....
I said 5th round. You were the one talking about 2nd round. With his size, he'll have to kill it at the combine to get into the 3rd (IMO). NOTHING he does at the Indy Bowl (check the TV ratings on it) is going to change that.
Almost nothing to gain and EVERYTHING to lose.

So he's a liar?I bet the salesmen love to see you walk in the door!
He's not moving up 3 rounds from a bowl game. If Burrow sucks in the playoff (which I hope he does) he's not going to suddenly drop like a rock in the draft.You don't seem understand the difference between mid 5th round draft choice money (aprox avg = $600K annually, including a $300K guaranteed one-time signing bonus), and late 2nd round draft choice money ($1.5M to $2.2M annually, with a guaranteed signing bonus of $2.5M).

If Miami had a first-round WR and he shut them down, it'd probably get him some more looks from scouts that had questions about him but that's as far as it would go.
TV Ratings?
Think of it this way, your average household watching this game has NOTHING to do with Amiks' grading, NOTHING. Now if there are interested NFL teams, they will be watching the game possibly, and most definitely watching the replay of the game if they have any interest in him at all.
If Amik forces the other team to have to game plan around him, that speaks volumes. Should Amik have a great game against a team who specifically game planned around him, I would say his draft stock goes up. But of course this is all opinions anyway and that is mine.
Just a data point but Mel Kiper does not have Amik among the top 10 cornerbacks.
Does he have any G5s listed?
No G5s at cornerback but some at other positions. Florida Atlantic tight end is #5.
You're so wrong, on so many points. (But, what's new.
The point of my last post was simply to magnify the fact that our recent draftees NEVER go as high in the draft as advertised before hand. Furthermore, speaking in general terms, if a player is not a 1st or 2nd rounder (and Amik is not), then he should be playing in his bowl game. However, in Amik's case, I'm being told that his injury is genuine, which is certainly convenient for him, and bad news for us.
Uh oh! Somebody must’ve hacked HD’s account!
