    Hate to say I told you so but I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO! Who am I kidding? I love saying it. Gaskin was a great college player but is not coveted by the NFL. Every draft eligible RB under the sun is getting drafted before him. The NFL wants big backs (215+ pounds). That's what works at the highest level of football both in the NFL and in college. And if you're not a big back you better have elite speed. Gaskin has neither the size or speed the NFL is looking for. That's the reality and what I've been saying for years. Sorry not sorry for being objective. Gaskin's a Husky legend and that's great. But he is and remains a 3-star talent who outperformed his ranking in college but still doesn't have the talent level the NFL covets. Best of luck to him trying to make a roster.

    Where did Chris Warren get drafted again?
    He went undrafted because he got too big. Not because he wasn't an NFL talent. He made the Raiders roster and has a chance to replace Marshawn there. You lose. YOU ALL LOSE. Get over it.

    Sounds like Phillip Lindsay.

    So, you think that Lindsay way better than Gaskin or is much more suited to the NFL?
    Stop comparing Gaskin to a an extremely rare instance. He's not Lindsay. He's not going to go undrafted and then become Offensive Rookie of the Year. Just stop. Yes, Phillip Lindsay is better than Gaskin.

    Stepping on MMFG the day he goes undrafted. We can close the book on your character for good.

    We've got all the screen shots we need.

    Not stepping on him or kicking him when he's down. But I'm not going to not tell the truth because it's not what people want to hear. It is what it is. If you can't look at our players objectively when discussing their draft stock because you're too emotionally invested then you should avoid such discussions. I have no problem separating the emotion and appreciation for a great Husky and what I objectively view their draft stock as. I was higher on McGary than others and lower on Gaskin than others. It goes both ways.

    How can you calculate Lindsay is better than Gaskin as an absolute statement?
