From what I know, he didn't partake in anything athletic at the combine, which may have hurt his stock a bit. He did however score the highest on the wonderlic test.
Now through 3 rounds the Saints have... 1) Brian Price, DT, UCLA 2) Navorro Bowman, OLB, Penn St. 3) Jermaine Cunningham, DE, Florida I filled in my opinion their top 3 needs in a 4-3 DT, DE, and OLB with 3 great value picks...I feel like the Saints would be happy with this draft, even though it is front 7 loaded....they needed it. I strongly considered JD Walton with that 3rd round pick...but the Saints C can last a couple more years...they needed a DE now.
I have to take off in like 15 mins for a dinner......can i PM somebody my Raiders board?...my pick is coming up soon. PM me ASAP.....thanks
JMO, this year's mock has been extremely competitive. Players are being drafted just before I was ready to select them. Excellent job..by all!
I was really, really hoping Burnett fell to me. Damn, WW. Ford was a good back up pick though, I thought the Cowboys needed a good slot guy =)
Let me just say I am very, VERY happy to get Ben Tate in the 4th round. I think he goes mid 2 in the real deal, his 40 really put him up there, in my mind battling Hardesty to be the 4th best back in the draft. Plus, his style is perfect for Seattles zone scheme, a tough runner that gets yards over everything else, though showing he has breakaway speed doesn't hurt.
I was 50/50...in drafting Tate or Worilds with the very next pick for my Brownies. You made my decision very easy!! Bastard!!
Man, I just looked at your Browns draft, it didn't matter which you got because you are putting on a show. Good god.
That was excellent value. I almost picked him in the 3rd but OLB for Philly was just too big of hole to ignore any longer. I love his running style and some team is going to be very happy. For some reason both him and Hardesty fell in this draft. Both I think will be really good running backs in this league and probably go in the 2nd.
GH... You took a risk waiting to draft a RB for Seattle, it worked out nicely. Usually RBs fall and Tate fell right into your lap.
If anyone has to leave and their pick is approaching....PM it to me. I'll be here most of the evening.
No need to send me a PM, I'm still here and will submit my pick after Jam submits his Just a heads up
