5th or 6th rnder makes significantly less than 3rd rnder.  Sure he will be cashing a check but these guys get cut pretty easily and then you could be bouncing around for quite a while and maybe never find a home in the NFL.   I love Mack but there are several premier  backs in this draft while I can't think of any in next years.

Unlike most other schools, Taggart makes sure his running backs catch the ball out of the backfield.  NFL teams will place a premium on that fact.  He's better in every way than Shane Vereen.  Imagine those Pats teams with Mack in for Vereen.  

On a related note, if D'ernest Johnson ends up on the right team with his catching skills and passion for the game, he has yet chance to be a 10 year pro.  He reminds me of a uility player like Keith Byers.

NFL scouts couldn't care less where you went to school. They value talent where they see it. The second overall pick in last years draft went to an FCS school. He'll get drafted in the 4th-5th round because of his talent level. If you wanna say that running out of Usf's offense doesn't really demonstrate how he would do in a traditional pro style offense, you could make that argument. It also doesn't help him that he tends to run a little taller than you'd probably like to see, and he doesn't really get to display any pass blocking skills in our offense either. 

Mack ran in a pro style offense his freshman year and dropped 1200+ yards on them fools.

When I say Top 5, I don't mean where he will be drafted among his group, I say where he belongs in terms of talent but likely won't be recognized. There aren't many current college runners I'd rather have than Mack.

Fournette, McCaffrey, Cook, and Chubb. But those are just the 4 I've personally seen I'd take over Mack.

Don't forget blocking as well. MM apparently is a pretty good - and unselfish - blocker

D'Onta Foreman just declared.  It's going to be a huge class...

To whoever down voted me, feel free to make your case for why Mack is going to go ahead of any of these guys.

Mack is special (especially for us). There are other backs that are more special.

Probably wasn't what you said .... it's just you.

Completely understandable.

That Soiciology (or education, or psychology or criminology, or whatever undergrad degree he is pursuing) still won't pay like a 4th round NFL draft pick.  Hope he comes back but understand if he leaves.  If he remains healthy and plays all next year he could be a 2nd round pick.
