I have a hard time trying to figure out what goes down at the NFL Advisory Committee that determines draft status for guys looking to make the leap. At this point, you have to wonder what kind of advice they're giving running backs seeing as how nearly everyone on the brink is chasing that buck and fixin' to make our fantasy lives hell. Ray Rice, Jamal Charles, Steve Slaton, you name it- expect to own at least one of them off the strength of a 50 yard, 1 TD game replacing Justin Fargas or whatever.
I mean, what can you use to distinguish yourself from the countless other end-of-first day guys? A bionic arm? Fluency in three languages? A starring role in a crack cocaine possession case? If the last one counts for anything, Branden Ore's got nothing to worry about come draft day. Perhaps realizing that being in Blacksburg tends to make things exceedingly difficult for him, between the injuries and legal mishegas, Ore filed his paperwork yesterday.
Yes, it's a suspicious move seeing as how he seemed intent on staying in Blacksburg for perhaps an injury-free season to solidify his prospects. Not to mention the overhanging legal woes. He still has the option of pulling out today, but as he said to reporters, "I ain't talkin', dog." While you may question his second gear, there's no doubt he knows how to stick to the G Code.
