I know this draft is a bit weak on the Tight End perspective but why no love for EDIT. He reminds me of a Dustin Keller type player who can block a bit better in the run game. He needs to add weight but im surprised the TE hungry teams passed him. WE DON'T MENTION UNDRAFTED PLAYERS IN THESE MOCK DRAFT THREADS
Damn didnt realize we couldnt do that, my bad fellas. Will discuss that edited player once I am allowed to.
I keep thinking of players that are on here or who i just didnt catch and wanted to ask about it but didnt realize that there were rules against it. My bad to WW85 btw.
Actually everyone has been great in this mock. I've been involved with these mocks for a while and this one has seemed to gone the smoothest.
I meant "here" as in the Draft Board, not a specific draft. I've typed a few names out, only to backspace after checking. Most were ones I assumed were picked, only to be shocked they were still on the board...
I like all of your players. The Colt's draft was excellent, adding size to their lines. The Colts aren't the biggest or most physical team. Solder needs to get stronger, he could bulk up more, his frame can handle more weight. Paea was a steal, let's see how he recovers, some meniscus injuries do very well
Good job..Code....About time Burney came off the board. Dowling is more of a safety, so adding Burney to the Raven's secondary was very smart. If I didn't have to go OT for the Chargers, Burney would have been my pick.
Was looking at TE and DE for my last pick, Tony G and Abraham both put up great seasons, but I ultimately chose the position who will decline faster in correlation with value. Didn't see a DE to eventually replace Abraham either, all are pretty much 3-4 DEs at this point without reaching.I thought Steven Friday would have dropped, was my #1 DE target this round. 1) Tyron Smith, OT , USC 2) Leo Hankerson, WR , Miami 3) DJ Williams, TE , Arkansas I think Clabo gets a big deal in FA, so they could shift Baker to RT or play Smith there, they resign one of Blalock or Dahl and move Mike Johnson to the other Guard spot.Hankerson and Williams gives Ryan the much needed passing weapons beyond Roddy White and an aging Tony G.
I was kind of shocked Burney was still available I was sure he was like a fringe round 2 guy, I was going to pick him with the Texans. Overall I like my Texan draft a little better than the Ravens one, only because I may have decided against Heyward and maybe get a tackle. But I just realized I only picked defensive players
I hope the DJ pick was just a player waiting on your board and good drafting then my hint and mistake.
I was juggling between Kendricks and Williams, Kendricks got taken earlier, so it made my decision real easy. He's underrated as a blocker, and his size really doesn't bother me seeing Keller do just fine. I think more and more teams will start going to 2 TEs sets anyway, which works well with what the Falcons have with Peele and very good project in Michael Palmer. Plus, he gets to work with one of the greatest TEs of all time...
That is probably the biggest thing, every little aspect of Williams game can be improved by Tony. He could be DANGEROUS if he learns well. He's a great kid on and off the field, with the problems in his family he's become a stronger person. If he drops this low in the actual draft he could be a STEAL for ANY team. Anyways good drafting man, great points made.
It was between Greg Little and another certain WR...but the Pats have enough of the type of WR that the player I didn't pick would bring...Greg Little could develop into a deep threat. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS, Jam. Rd 1 - Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa Rd 1 - Jeremy Beal, DE/OLB, Oklahoma Rd 2 - Mikel Leshoure, RB, Illinois Rd 2 - Johnny Patrick, CB, Louisville Rd 3 - Jason Pinkston, OT, Pittsburgh Rd 3 - Greg Little, WR, North Carolina Muahaha. That's all I have to say.
Greg Little is an underrated prospect. Good size and isn't afraid to get physical. Hard to believe he played RB at one time. I was considering GL for the Chargers, they love big receivers, but went another direction. I think you did a good job with the Patsies and filled some big needs.
