i watched a couple of new mexico games this season because i heard a lot of good things about one of their running backs. at no point was there any mention of any of their center, or any of their offensive lineman.
i was pretty happy with the first couple of vikings picks in the draft, but taking the new mexico kid over a guy like eslinger really gave me a headache because i just couldn't figure out the logic behind it.
What do the Broncos find so appealing about ND. Not only did they take Eslinger, they took that lineman from NDSU (Kuper i think his name is). Nice to see, because we all know how good the linemen from Denver are. If i were to chose anywhere to learn how to play lineman, it would be Denver. Can u name the last time they didn't have a great line?
