David Bakhtiari Declaring for NFL Draft
- Thread starter Quattro
- Start date
I disagree. I think staying and working on his technique and getting more reps would have been the right thing for himself. I honestly think this could hurt his career. I wish him the best though.

Not exactly zero OL depth with Mustoe, Irwin, Kelly, Sutton, Huckins, Kroshange, Kough and Graham. We need Nembot, Lewis and Mustoe to step up.
Irwin and Mustoe are the only ones who have played a DI snap and and that was in garbage time. Not only that, this doesn't give us the luxury of sitting Nembot if he can't pass pro well enough
And I would prefer it if we could finally let our young OL not start until Junior year, but whatever.
Good luck to Bak. Hope he gets drafted and does CU proud
i'll just save duffman the time and say numbers do not equal depth.

not exactly zero depth.
Following this line of thought we could also count walk-ons and fat boys we could drag out of the stands.
First off, I do think he will get drafted on the third day. Hopefully early.
It is not good. Thankfully, OL was not a big need in the 2012 recruiting class.
Thank you. Rep.:lol:

I don't know if you've checked recently, but we have been f'ed for years now.
What exactly does this mean? Is it like the NBA where he can "declare" but not hire an agent and come back?
The deadline usually is January 15th, but I think once you declare that´s it.

He is rated higher than most fans think. If he works hard and shows good in the combines he could go as high as the 3rd round. He has quick feet which the NFL likes in an olinemen. He played Left tackle this year and showed well. At this point he is definitely draftable.
6'4 LT in the NFL (he'll probably measure shorter too)? No way. Plus he is way too small for Guard even. He better bulk up and learn to play C
yea, his and CU offensive stats were stellar... and all those sacks and tackles behind the line? had to be the other guys fault? should have stayed for one more season. but, if he is going to try, then CU later Bak
I suspect DB has a decent enough skill set to get drafted. He is at best a mid to late rounder. But then again, that is true of most OL. Only the superstars go high (i.e. 1-3 rounds). So if his stock isn't going to change materially, why not go early?
I think he definitely drafted, very likely before the 7th round too. He is a great fit for a team like Houston.

Good choice then. I didn't think he'd be in that range, but obviously I don't know crap. Good luck to him.

Best of luck to him but this is a dumb decision.
