CU shut out of the NFL Draft for the first time since 2016. Thoughts?
- I'm afraid this is just the beginning. With CU's young stars leaving town for more money (sorry, opportunities), CU won't be having any draft picks for the foreseeable future (38%, 82 Votes)
- Not unexpected. Carson Wells had a shot, but Nate Landman is too injury prone. Move on - nothing to see here (34%, 74 Votes)
- Texas didn't have any picks, either (same for eight other Power Five schools). Oh, and Oregon and Utah had only one apiece. Not worried (28%, 60 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from West Virginia senior middle linebacker Josh Chandler-Semedo. Thoughts?
- I just hope that this is the beginning of a summer of good news. There are still other specific holes to be filled, and I hope the CU coaching staff can find experienced talent to fill those holes (50%, 130 Votes)
- Wow ... just wow! An All-Big 12 performer who is West Virginia's active leader in tackles. Welcome to the black-and-gold, Mr. Chandler-Semedo! (46%, 120 Votes)
- I don't want to be a negative voice here, but if Chandler-Semedo was such a leader for the Mountaineers, why is he leaving Morgantown for his COVID senior season? (4%, 10 Votes)

Which post-spring depth chart issue on the offensive side of the ball do you find to be the most troubling?
- Offensive Line - The starting five seems to be fairly settled, but after that - virtually no experience. CU needs Transfer Portal help here, and it can't come soon enough (68%, 108 Votes)
- Quarterback - It would have been nice for Lewis and Shrout to have it out this spring, giving CU a settled starting quarterback for Fall Camp (21%, 34 Votes)
- Wide Receiver - Rice, Stanley and Shenault (and their 39 combined starts - 58 games played total) are gone. Anyone convinced CU has identified three starters to replace them? (7%, 11 Votes)
- Running Back - With Alex Fontenot limited, there was no clear winner in the race for starter. If you have 3-4 possible starters, does it mean you really have none? (4%, 7 Votes)

Will at least one Colorado player be taken in the NFL Draft for the sixth consecutive season?
- Yes. I don't know if it will be Carson Wells or Nate Landman - or both! - but I can see a Buff being taken in the late rounds Saturday (50%, 97 Votes)
- Hard to say. Nate Landman has the intangibles teams want, and Carson Wells has the physical tools. Not sure if either will get the call, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do (36%, 70 Votes)
- No. Carson Wells wasn't consistent enough in his career, and Landman is too injury-prone to be drafted. Both will get free agent deals, but neither will be drafted (14%, 28 Votes)

Which CU NFL Draft factoid to you was the most interesting?
- That CU is 28th in the nation in NFL first round picks, and is just three shy of being third in the Pac-12 in producing first-rounders (which would be behind only USC and UCLA) (50%, 72 Votes)
- That CU remains in the Top 25 (No. 23) in all-time NFL draft picks ... though it would be a shame if CU fell out of the Top 25 this weekend (28%, 40 Votes)
- That CU has had at least one player drafted in each of the past five drafts. I wouldn't have guessed that CU has been that consistent in producing NFL Draft-worthy players (22%, 32 Votes)

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??? 🙂
