Great Stuff there gotta say, I love the Little pick, my only concern is his speed off the line, his route running, his time as a WR ( was originally recruited as a LB at ND) and his attitude. All these aspects you need in an Bill Belichick offense. If he can fix that , his size and strength could make most CB shake in there boots with some solid grooming.
Nothing relevant, but Penn State will contribute a lot to this draft, yet will likely only have 1 player drafted in the first 3 rounds FROM Penn State...
Really like the Lawrence Wilson pick for Tampa. I think he'd fit great in their system and be given a chance to flourish. Really like the Atlanta draft, added big time talent on offense with Tyron Smith, Hankerson, and DJ Williams. Really gave Matty Ry some weapons to play with.... Magilla, did you consider any D-ends at any point for Atlanta, or the values just were never there?
There were only 2 I liked for what ATL needs IMO(Speed, not power), Justin Houston in round 1 and Steven Friday in round 3. I didn't like anyone in round 2, Sam Acho was the only one I considered, but not enough to draft him as a DE. I passed on Houston because I was comfortable enough with Abraham to not use a 1st, plus Tyron Smith is a major talent that will blow up before the draft. Fills a need if, as I expect, Clabo bolts for a bigger deal... Thanks for the complements!
Not incredibly thrilled with my Bears draft. Rd 1 Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pitt Rd 2 Joseph Barksdale, OT, LSU Rd 3 Orlando Franklin, G/OT, Miami I think I did alright and definitely filled in areas of need, I don't think I got optimal value, especially with the second round pick. That run on tackles before the Bears pick kind of threw me for a loop, I was expecting at least one of them to be there. Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy that I was able to get Baldwin, but the more I read about Barksdale the less I like him or any of the tackles that were still on the board at the time. I'm happy about Franklin though, I think that he was good value at the end of the third.
I'm almost scared to make my Packers pick. I'm assuming my player is injured or something, otherwise I have no idea why he would last until the end of the 3rd.
This is why we need ot hope teams let Locker anmd Mallet fall like they should. The less talent available for the Pats the better. Thats a good example of how ready they are to reload with this draft right there.
Haha, possibly. Murray is surely injury prone, but hes also one of/the top athlete in the draft. Injuries aside, he is the best back in the draft. Sweet get for the Packers I feel.
Love my Packers draft. Rd 1 - Allen Bailey, DE, Miami -- Baileys a freak. No one knows what his best position will be, he could fit right in at the 5 technique for the Packers. Rd 2 - Rodney Hudson, OG/C, Florida State -- 624 grabbed Hudson for me. Add an inch and 15-20 lbs to Hudson and he would be the best guard prospect in a while. Rd 3 - DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma -- Most people know Murray, tall, kinda skinny, fast, injured. Still a hell of an athlete. Big weapon for the Packers if he can stay healthy
Jets draft... Rd 1 Justin Houston, OLB, Georgia Pass rusher, enough said. Guy can make plays off the edge. We need speed badly. He provides it. Thought of a few Des, but opted against it. None stood out a ton. Rd 3 Randall Cobb, WR, Kentucky Playmaker. Versatile guy. Played qb and wr in college. Think he can be a nice slot receiver and wildcat guy. Didn't like the DEs much in this spot. Think Cobb would be a very valuable addition.
I love Cobb, and would have probably taken him Rd 2 if either of my teams needed a receiver that badly. That said, there is one DE that I may have opted for in this spot, though the value of Cobb is terrific.
Wouldn't mind Houston at all in April. It's nice to have a 3-4 OLB prospect that has already made the switch from DE to LB. Haven't seen or heard very much from Cobb.
I think Houston "switch" is a little overblown, he was still a pass rusher only(played with his hand down more than up), still raw in the OLB aspect. Cobb is a do everything prospect, like Brad Smith, but a way better WR...
