View Full Version : level of optimism headed into the draft days ahead

myself I am anxious to get the festivities started , am nervous we have a lot of work to do and fear we could make a big mistake early and on the other hand I feel fairly optimistic we will have a player fall into our laps that we may not expect to be there ...

I am full of anxiety ( I always am when the moment of truth starts getting close ) excited , scared, etc etc ...

but by the time I go to bed tomorrow night I will probably be more pissed than anything ...

do we ever get used to this emotional roller coaster ? nope

I get more excited than anything. My wife will call me an idiot for getting up to watch the first roundin the middle of the nite . But she says that when I watch the regular season games . I deliberately didn't pick Jarvis jones first in the draft competition ,only because I'm superstitious and didn't want to put the mockers on it .

Next week is finals week so I just can't devote my weekend to the draft this year.

5) Kevin Reddick
6) Jake Stoneburner
6) Lonnie Pryor

I LOVE The Reddick pick ( and it IMO cancels the need for the pick of Te'o earlier Reddick will be a solid pro ) so maybe take a RB in place of Te'o ( not sold on Pryor ) but that is nitpicking on a solid mock

Mistah Q
04-24-2013, 07:20 PM
I don't want Pryor as an RB, I'm more looking for the next Dan Kreider.

Menelik Watson maybe if I have to change that 2nd. Or more like, change that second rounder to Cyprien or Reid, and then use the 3rd for LeVeon.

As usual, I can't wait for the draft to start. It'll be hard for me to concentrate at work tomorrow.

I really HATE that they moved it to prime time and split it up like they did.

Unfortunately for me, my niece decided to get married on Saturday and I'm heading out of town for the wedding. I'll probably only get to watch the first round tomorrow night.

I find it hilarious how the talking heads on TV think Ansah , Jordan and Mingo are the best of the best when they simply put failed to produce at any level anything close to what Jones has produced they continue ( year in and year out ) over value results of the annual poke and prod instead of actual results from the football field

Thats because Jones played in a weak minor conferance,,, no, wait a sec. Well he never played against the level of OTs that the rest of them did,,,,,,,,, no wait a sec. Well he can't run in a strait line as fast.:smileystooges:

Not even just bad drafting but bad salary management. $40M+ on the books for players that aren't even on the team any more.

Seems like a pretty good trade for the Raiders. They dropped down to #12 and picked up a 2nd round pick.

Dwinsgames
04-25-2013, 07:52 PM
I was hoping Lane Johnson would still be on the board at 7 .... The Cardinals need a Tackle and he may have helped save Jarvis Jones for us , now with Johnson gone the odds of Jarvis still being there at 17 are reduced
by 25% or so ( even if the Cardinals do not take him they are liable to take Mingo then the Jets wont have him to take and Jones may go there or to the Saints )

He's better than Woods. He is tall and has percy harvin type agility when he runs. Decent speed, but his open field ability is unnatural for his size. He's explosive. If the Texans get him across from Andre Johnson, it's going to be SICK!

I wouldn't mind Woods or Hunter in the second. They need a WR in the first 3 rounds...no doubt.

Funny how these teams just keep throwing picks at the Pats year after year.

LMAO at the cowgirls , they took the 4th best Center in the draft in the first round as the first Center off the board , talk about a classic example of over drafting a player you may be hard pressed to find another example as extreme ( from my memory anyways )

this poor kid may go down in history as a bust because he wont live up to first round quality and it is far from his fault ... he should have been a mid 3rd round pick

Jerry Jones = the new Al Davis

Damn...I wanted Elam too...lol. Think he has the potential to be better than Vaccaro.

What's everyone looking at for Day 2?

Elam was a good pick by the Ravens. I think they should have addressed ILB, but they needed a playmaker on the back end. Huff is solid but isn't the ballhawk they need. Hopefully Elam isn't either :chuckle:

WR in round 2 , Woods perhaps ( he fits Haleys scheme well )

I like Cyprian better than Elam.

For the 2nd round, I'm thinking WR or RB. We need a playmaker on offense and there's a lot of talent at both positions.

I'm really hoping we go after Stedman Bailey. Watched some WVU tonight to see Austin and he absolutely shot off the screen and showed Tavon up. He reminds me a lot of Hines with more natural ability. Can't believe he wasn't viewed as a first round guy. I was very, very impressed.

Johnathan Franklin would be an interesting pick in the second round too

I realize he only ran like a 4.62 or something but he's faster than that on grass.

Don't you feel like he's going to be a value for whichever team selects him? I was really surprised to see how well rounded a player he is. Seems to have a crazy nose for the goal line. This is just from watching maybe a half hour of him though, so I haven't watched a lot. But like I said, he jumped off the screen.

he has been under rated through this entire process IMO

I am not pissed if we took him in the second if I am honest about what I feel about his talent level but the value side of me says wait and take him later if we do not address WR in round 2 ...

I have woods as the guy in round 2 ( I like Bailey better long term he has a higher ceiling IMO )

if we go RB in round 2 Bailey in the 3rd is a home run ...

I look for RB and WR to be the picks in the next 2 rounds just not sure which comes first ....

I think it will be either 1) Franklin/Bailey or 2) Woods/Michael I prefer scenario 1, but think the front office is really high on Woods so that is how I picked it in the contest thread ..at the end of the day I would not cry over either scenario

Most film on him is about the same. I think he is the most consistant, sure handed WR in the draft.

Like a WR Allen, Woods or Hunter in Round 2. I'd really love to see Lattimore in a Steelers uniform. More so than anyone else in this draft. But not until the third round and that is probably a little early for him, but he'd TOTALLY be worth it...no doubt. Wouldn't mind Franklin either...

Glad you guys seem to agree. Rarely do I make a judgement on a player without at least watching a couple of games focusing on him but I was blown away by what I saw. Like I said, as I was watching him I wondered to myself how he doesn't have a first round grade. This guy is a lock in my opinion. If we got him in the third I would be absolutely thrilled. Hell even the second.

Main guys on my radar for tomorrow are Bailey, Josh Boyce, Arthur Brown, LeVeon Bell, Montee Ball and Christine Michael.
