Wow, he is a BIG dude.

Bill Polian loves this pick. He couldn't say enough good things about McCullers and his SEC experience. Loves him as a steeler

Love it! Great value, and a big need

Pretty happy with most if these picks...

Daniel Jeremiah thinks Archer will make the pro bowl as KR this year.

Sounds like he could eat Big Hamp for lunch.

Storm Johnson to the Jaguars.

would love to see Alden Darby ( can play anywhere in secondary ) or Cody Hoffman with this final selection

Give me Purifoy or Belue I guess.

Or Brandon Coleman maybe, he has no business still being on the board in the middle of the 7th.

Or Tiny Richardson.

Or Colt Lyerla.

Either way we're on the clock

And his 40 time is 4.36! Not to run a 40, but to drink one. Still, pretty impressive. :0

Yes Blanchflower!

we all should have known this would be the pick LOL

Blanchflower!

We got Rob Blanchflower!

Well I guess now we sit around an wait to see what the UDFA lists bring. Some well rated players will not be drafted.

I have no idea what Branchflower does on the roster anyways. He is 24, slow, and has no where to develop. I guess he blocks good?

Yeah, when I think NT, I think Casey Hampton: like a giant fireplug, who is shorter but wide. But I guess I don't see any reason why a NT can't be tall as long as he forces a double team. In fact, this might be a great response to the Browns drafting Johnny Football. Let's see him try to finding a passing sight line over this guy!

I believe he can actually block and catch, something the the others behind Miller have a problem with.

Blanchflower had a groin injury this year. He blocks okay. He catches the ball in traffic quite well. He doesn't stretch the field. But we have perhaps the fastest WR corps in the league for that. He'll catch balls in redzone traffic.

But I have to ask someone who knows better... is he as good as Lyerla? I was kind of hoping for him.

Good to know. I was unaware that he had good hands. So is he Spaeth 2.0?

Hopefully he'll be a good backup and we can draft a Miller replacement next year.

Yes it would. But Spaeth has always had hands. Not able to get open that well and he actually learned how to block pretty well.

I think "confirms" might be too strong a word. That doesn't mean you're wrong, but I don't think they are making any decisions based on Spence right now. You can't put any eggs in that basket until you see how his knee treats him in the pre-season games.

So I gotta figure that Richardson (OT, Tenn.) got caught smoking weed, while buying cocaine in an underground gun sale while giving a child a concussion.

We're almost done here and it doesn't look like he is going to come off the board.

The kid can block and catch.

I'm tired of constantly hearing the story of how Michael Sam isn't getting drafted. I don't care what his preferences are. Sure his growing-up sob story is sad.

But the dude is a one-trick, kind of terrible football player. He'll probably wind up in some camp as an UDFA, and maybe make a practice squad. It's not some kind of crime that he's not getting drafted... he's just not a very good football player, and that's what this weekend is about.

Raiders Jonathan Dowling

Cowboys Ahmad Dixon (steal!)

Yeah looks like I over-reacted to one negative report. Shocking. I contributed a knee-jerk reaction to a message board. Who woulda thought?

In Mitchells press conference he highlighted that they were forced to play Troy as the nickel linebacker for most of last year.

He also said that Troy was playing linebacker as early as 2nd down for a lot of the year.

Spence was originally drafted to be that backer. Now Shazier will be that backer.

Their is some serious competition now at ILB

1. Timmons
2. Williams
3. Garvin
4. Moats ( probably plays more OLB)
5. Spence
6. Shazier
7. Zumalt
8. Kion Wilson

Add OLB to the mix
1. Worilds
2. Jones
3. Carter

That's some serious competition at ILB. Looking forward to training camp

Rams Michael Sam (can we stop hearing about it now)

Rams Demetrius Rhaney

- - - Updated - - -

Cowboys Ken Bishop (nice value)

- - - Updated - - -

I think at ILB we wind up with Timmons, Shazier, Williams, Zumwalt... and Spence as a sort of utility LB/Safety project, if his knee survives camp and preseason.

OLB will be Worilds, Jarvis Jones, Moats, and Carter... Before the Zumwalt pick I could but at this juncture Moats is clearly OLB and I can't see Harrison coming back.

I guess you're right...he did have his jersey number retired in Chicago.

Falcons Yawin Smallwood (NICE)

no and it is not even close ....

HOWEVER

Colt Lyerla is a problem child in a myriad of ways ....

would rather have had Joe Don Duncan but hey it is what it is .....

could really do without the crying shit and man being kissed by another man in the draft coverage

Cowboys Terrance Mitchell

Falcons Tyler Starr

Texans Lonnie Ballentine

THE END

Drazo it's after 1am at your house, aren't you going to get some sleep? :chuckle:

But wait, there's more...

When will we start seeing the UDFA lists? There are some good quality guys out there, I'm hoping we manage to get a few CBs, maybe Purifoy and Belue...
