I was looking at several Mock Drafts today and the consensus is that Kupp will go early 2nd to early 3rd. Saw several that had JP going late 6th early 7th as well. Those several comment on his great footwork translating well to the NFL.

Not to be a downer, but I think Kupp gets taken in the 4th and JP gets taken in the 7th. Just my prediction

Mocks are hardly ever accurate so you could definitely be right. Just look at the 1st round, I think everyone was wrong as soon as the Bears made their trade :lol: iI can still see Kupp going late 2nd early 3rd though. And I would love to see JP drafted anywhere.

Who ever gets Kupp, they will be getting a steal if they get him in the 3rd. The kid is a hell of a football player and he is always open. Oregon, Oregon State, and Washington State couldnt cover him, so that tells me he will find a way in the NFL to get open. I hope he does really good in the NFL, even though he is from EWU.


If your left, you aren’t right.

I don't have this confirmed but I had heard that when EWU played UW in 2014, Kupp had a hell of a game (he always seemed to have a hell of a game, doesn't he?) against Marcus Peters and Sidney Jones. Kupp had 8 catches for 145 yards and 3 TD's. Against two NFL first round picks! (Sidney Jones would've been a first rounder, hands down if he hadn't torn his Achilles during his pro day) And if you watch the NFL, you know Peters is considered one of the best CB's in the league right now

Kupp would have been a top 20 pick if he played somewhere bigger. Whoever gets him is probably getting more than they realize.

His 40 yd dash time and his vertical jump numbers didn't help him but his agility drills were amazing and you just can't take away what he did on film in the games themselves. Someone is getting a monster and I'm hoping it's my team :D

Top of the 3rd to the Rams.


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

This is a terrible spot for kupp. They don't have a qb. The best WR on the team works best out of the slot....just like kupp.

Don't like this pick for kupp or the rams

Is it just me or does it seem like the Rams are a landing ground for Big Sky players? I know Fisher had a lot to do with that, but he isn't there anymore. Either way, best of luck to Kupp and anyone from the Big Sky that gets a chance to play Sunday.............and Thursday and Monday night.


Punters are people too!!

Mcshay and Kiper this morning were giving Kupp some pretty high praise. Kiper said he thinks he will be a Jordy Nelson type player. Pretty cool to hear that about a Big Sky guy.
