As we wade through the calm before the storm in the NFL with training camps beginning later this month, The Midday Show on 92.9 The Game decided to take a different approach to its NFL No Huddle Segment today as the show broadcasts live from SEC Media Days at the College Football Hall of Fame.
Taking a look back to the NFL Draft, the guys gave their take on which first-round draft pick from the SEC will make the biggest impact on Sundays this fall. With 12 players to choose from, Randy McMichael went with a former Georgia Bulldog as his selection.
“I think Jordan Davis is going to get busy. He could not have landed in a more perfect spot. I’ll be honest with you, I don’t know what to expect from [Travon] Walker in Jacksonville. I think he’s going to do well because he’s a hell of a football player who was playing a little bit more out of position at Georgia, but I love Jordan Davis [in Philadelphia].”
McMichael also mentioned LSU CB Derek Stingley as a potential instant impact player with the Houston Texans who also selected OG Kenyon Green out of Texas A&M in the first round.
Joining the show this week, Jon Chuckery looked to the trenches for his answer with Alabama OT Evan Neal going to the Giants and the Seahawks’ selection of OT Charles Cross out of Mississippi State—one pick after the Falcons took WR Drake London.
"Seattle actually got chastised by the NFL for running their pick up so fast after the Falcons took London at No. 8, but that’s a separate argument for another day...It’s not like we could’ve used an offensive lineman again,” Chuckery said sarcastically.
You’ve heard from the Midday Show crew, so what’s your answer? Here are the 12 possible selections:
DE Travon Walker - Jacksonville Jaguars
CB Derek Stingley Jr. - Houston Texans
OT Evan Neal - New York Giants
OT Charles Cross - Seattle Seahawks

DT Jordan Davis - Philadelphia Eagles
OG Kenyon Green - Houston Texans
WR Treylon Burks - Tennessee Titans
LB Quay Walker - Green Bay Packers
CB Kaiir Elam - Buffalo Bills
DT Devonte Wyatt - Green Bay Packers
S Lewis Cine - Minnesota Vikings
