Would you rate CU as a "winner" or a "loser" in the 2020 NFL Draft?
- Somewhere in between. Disappointed that Laviska Shenault wasn't a first round pick, but having Arlington Hambright picked up in the seventh round was an unexpected bonus. (56%, 126 Votes)
- A "Winner". Colorado had as many or more draft picks than all but two Pac-12 schools, and had three other players sign as undrafted free agents. A good weekend for the Buffs! (38%, 87 Votes)
- A "Loser". The draft once again highlighted how far CU has fallen from being a national power. CU hasn't had a first-rounder since 2011, and hasn't had a QB drafted since 1997 (6%, 13 Votes)

Which of the CU free agents do you think will be the most likely to be the next Phillip Lindsay (or at least make the team)?
- Wide Receiver Tony Brown (Cleveland Browns) ... Brown was a clutch receiver for the Buffs, and that will prove to be a quality that will impress at the next level (61%, 164 Votes)
- Cornerback Delrick Abrams, Jr. (Atlanta Falcons) ... CU has produced quality cornerbacks in the past, and Abrams will do the Buffs proud (31%, 84 Votes)
- Quarterback Steven Montez (Washington Redskins) ... With some NFL coaching, Montez could take his physical attributes and good coaching, and combine them into an NFL career (8%, 19 Votes)

CU finishes with three players drafted in the 2020 NFL Draft. Thoughts?
- It can't be a bad draft when only Utah and Oregon had more picks from the Pac-12, with CU having more picks than USC (2), Washington (2), Stanford (2) - plus Nebraska (2) and CSU (0) (48%, 109 Votes)
- A good draft. It would have been nice to see Viska go in the first round, but happy that Taylor (limited game experience) and Hambright (one year in Boulder) were able to join the NFL as Buffs (31%, 70 Votes)
- Too bad Shenault didn't escape injury and go as CU's first first-rounder since 2011, and I find it telling that all 32 NFL teams took a pass on Steven Montez (21%, 50 Votes)

Laviska Shenault goes to Jacksonville with the 10th pick of the second round. Thoughts?
- Good for him. The highest a Buff has been taken since 2011. He will be a beast in the NFL, and will do the black-and-gold proud! (41%, 116 Votes)
- I just feel sorry for those other eight teams who took receivers above Shenault. He will make it his mission to make them regret their choices. Well done, Viska! Have a great career in the NFL! (37%, 105 Votes)
- Ninth wide receiver taken. If he had gotten some better advice, he might have had his surgery done earlier (or even come back for his senior year) (22%, 60 Votes)

Which of CU's first-round wide receiver NFL draft picks would you rate as the best CU wideout?
- Michael Westbrook - taken by the Washington Redskins in 1995 (58%, 153 Votes)
- Mike Pritchard - taken by the Atlanta Falcons in 1991 (25%, 67 Votes)
- Charles E. Johnson - taken by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1994 (10%, 26 Votes)
- Rae Carruth - taken by the Carolina Panthers in 1997 (7%, 18 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??? 🙂
