Do anyone of y’all think Ngata is going to get drafted at all. I really was hoping he would come back one more year to improve his draft ranking.

Free Agent contract, then Practice squad.

So basically the same thing that happened to Ross in the draft last year?

Ross was different, had a great freshman season but then they discovered his neck issue and never really recovered. He missed an entire season and wasn't really the same after that. I think he was still injured and that's why he spent the entire last NFL season in the IR. But there was a report on here a few weeks ago that mentioned how he was working very hard to return. This season is the real test for Ross. Does he come out and prove himself or is his playing days over? i hope he has a fw good years left for the NFL. I'll never forget how he lit up the Bama secondary.

So you think he will actually make a Practice Squad?

he actually had more to gain by waiting a season. in my opinion.
he really would have been a top round pick with a season under Riley and Klubnik

I know nothing.
But, I'll bet a major reason (but not the only one) was he was just tired of college.
Years ago, back in the 90s, when kids were deciding whether to go to the NFL or stay in college one more year, Bobby Bowden made this statement - We sit down and talk with the kid. We have a discussion about the pros and cons on leaving vs. staying. But, when the kid says, "Coach, I'm tired of college. I don't want to be in college any more" the conversation is essentially over. Draft position, future success, etc. are not enough to convince a kid to stay when he's made up his mind, "I don't want to be in college."

just can't get over his physical attributes. He physically looks like an NFL WR. Unfortnatly, he has never shown he could play like an NFL receiver.

Combo Deal with Ngata! No, won't be drafted.

QB play.
Questionable Offensive play calling.
Health issues.
All of the above contributed to Ngata never really living up to his hyped up billing.
I think if he can manage to stay healthy; gets with a team interested in his skills who will give him a real shot - he has enough potential to keep on a practice squad and see if his ceiling can be reached. He's that physically gifted.
An NFL team would be foolish to not try and get someone who could potentially be a game changer an opportunity.
