Colorado has now gone four of the past five NFL Drafts without a selection. Thoughts?
- If Jordyn Tyson and Colton Hood had been drafted as Buffs, no one would be complaining. It's not that CU can't attract players, it's that CU can't keep them. It's all about the $$$ (63%, 36 Votes)
- Not unexpected, but still hurtful. Coach Prime came in with his gold jacket, promising to get prospects to The League. Not a good look for Coach Prime, or the CU program (32%, 18 Votes)
- What's really telling is that the Big 12 set a record for total commits (38), with CU one of only three schools in the Big 12 with no picks. Another sign that CU isn't taking football seriously (5%, 3 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from three-star defensive lineman Kenny Fairley. Thoughts?
- Always glad to get a commitment, but Fairley only had offers from two other Power Four schools. Hopefully, he'll have a great senior season (and stick with CU) (47%, 44 Votes)
- Nice pickup. Fairley has decent size (6'1", 280-pounds) for an edge rusher, and I like that he had dominant stats for a Georgia high school team which went 15-0 last season (35%, 33 Votes)
- Coach Prime doesn't take many freshmen recruits, especially at positions of development. Defensive line is certainly a position of need ... too bad he can't play this year (18%, 17 Votes)

Do you consider Jordyn Tyson (and Christian Gonzalez, Mehki Blackmon, Brendan Rice, etc.), to be Forever Buffs?
- Sorry, but they are dead to me. Not only did Tyson (and Gonzalez) leave CU, but they played against their former schools in conference play. They have no loyalty to CU, I have no loyalty to them (49%, 73 Votes)
- No. Do we consider Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders to be Jackson State Tigers? Like it or not, players will always be identified with their last school. Jordyn Tyson is not a Buff (43%, 64 Votes)
- Yes. Once a Buff, forever a Buff. These players may have transferred to other schools, but they are still Buffs - and still deserve our fan support (8%, 13 Votes)

Rate your interest in the first round of the NFL Draft (ESPN/NFL Network, Thursday, 6:00 p.m., MT)
- Low. My college team (the Buffs) and my NFL team (for most of you, Denver) will not be participants in the first round, so I'll take a pass on watching the first round of the NFL Draft this year (62%, 89 Votes)
- Medium. It's going to be interesting, but it's not going to be like last year, with the Travis Hunter/Shedeur Sanders drama was front and center the entire NFL Draft weekend (28%, 41 Votes)
- High. This is the highlight of the off-season, a time for both college and NFL fans to have an interest. Can't wait for the intrigue and drama which always accompanies the first round of the Draft (10%, 14 Votes)

Which of the following Buffs could hear their name called this weekend at the 2026 NFL Draft?
- Wide receiver Sincere Brown ... In the 40-yard dash, Brown ran a 4.38 at CU's Pro Day. You can't teach speed - even more impressive when considering Brown is 6'5", 190-pounds (43%, 33 Votes)
- Safety Preston Hodge ... Hodge led the Big 12, and was second in the nation, in pass breakups. He has the size and speed to fit into almost any defensive backfield as a jack-of-all-trades (41%, 31 Votes)
- The field ... offensive lineman Zylon Crisler ... kicker Alejandro Mata ... offensive lineman Xavier Hill ... defensive lineman Amari McNeill ... someone will be picked (16%, 12 Votes)

I like the question about SS’s negative coverage. Personally, I think the see-saw coverage is mostly about “stirring the pot” and/or getting clicks. SS is this year’s draft soap opera–a love/hate fest For one negative story there is a more positive one. Some stories are just hit jobs (anonymous NFL assistant/exec), others just cover every minutia of his life. Yesterday, Kiper has him still going early.
SS is an intriguing draftee warranting discussion, however the extensive overall coverage on every detail for one QB prospect seems over the top. NFL teams have their draft boards, needs, and evaluations and they make decisions based upon that. I’ll be glad when SS and TH are picked today and the focus will be on our team.
The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
