Well i basically took it from you draft niks anyways... But my question is, how big a jump did Graham make today? If the draft were held tomorrow could he be in the top 15? Also on the reverse, how big a hit can he really take at the combine with his arms being 1.5" shorter than average? Will it be enough to knock him down to us at 29? All things considered he is pretty much the embodiment of my favorite type of prospect. The guy who isn't quite perfect in terms of measurables, but is a high motor guy who goes 100 miles an hour every single snap he physically can play. The guys who are pure football players are my favorite guys who I want to bring in.
It's too early to tell. The Combine will answer that question. It's possible, it just takes 1 team to fall in love. My best guess right now....18-24. Players get hyped up at different times of the year......BG's stock could cool come late April.
Half way through watching the game. Graham and Odrick are the most impressive defensive players thus far and not at all impress with Iupati.
Graham was clearly the best player on the field today. I thought Iupati did well, not great. Iupati seemed to grab a few d-lineman, something he would need to lose quickly in the NFL...but I don't see that being a problem. Most of the time Iupati dominated his opponent.
Seem to grab? The dude got beat badly on several plays and held for dear life. The only excuse I will give him thus far (only watched through the 3rd quarter right now) is that every time he gets beat it's on the right side. He seems to play with better leverage when he is on the left. He must not be use to playing on the right. However, I will say I think the competition he faced on the right side was better.
Also Graham had the best game but I don't think he was the best player. He was playing against a kid that has no shot at being a left tackle in the league. He dominated the kid as well he should. Again only 3/4 of the game watched but so far I'm more impressed with Dan Williams and Odrick consistently beating double teams and also Patrick Robinson has played well.
We agree to disagree....IMO, Graham played extremely well, better than Odrick. Geno Atkins was probably the second best defensive player today...awesome game.
I love the idea of signing a low-end receiver/special teamer like Hixon before the draft. I'll sign up for the 1st round pick right now. In the 2nd round I'd rather draft a corner, but unless we trade up from 29 we may not get one of the better ones. Like the Myron Lewis pick. Maybe draft an OL/DL or a TE later on.
Hey, what do you guys think of Sinorice Moss from the Giants? He's still in the league despite his lack of anything getting done so far, so they must thing something of him. Oh, and apologies for the attention whore thread and this question up here that doesn't belong in this thread.
No. No. No. No. NO. No. No. He manages to play decently in the preseason and then completely fucks up/gives up/forgets the game once the regular season starts. He's useless, I'd rather just keep Clowney.
Just wanted to try out a different mock, same FAs: 1: Perrish Cox - High end athlete at the CB position. 2: Mike Neal - Very, very solid, stout player for the DL. 5: Will Barker - Virginia T's have been hot in recent years. I don't think Barker breaks that, and he's the RT of the future. 6: Danario Alexander - Lack of explosiveness will drop him, but has the upside to be a solid red zone target. 7: Zoltan Mesko - We really need a punter. UDFA: Lorenzo Washington Eric Moncur Corey Peters Some undrafted RB Josh McNeil Terrell Skinner or Ryan Hamilton Yea...I'm just bored and bs'ing before class. If we're signing Montgomery, then I'd switch Neal for Greg Hardy.
How would you guys feel about this one? 1: Dominique Franks - Will fly up once he tests at combine. 2: Vince oghobaase - Underrated all around 3-4 DL prospect. 5: Willie Young - Tall, long DE with room to add weight to his 250 pound frame. Really good sleeper prospect. Will probably go higher. 6: Keiland Williams - Because it's always good to pick up a talented RB. 7: Will Barker - Virginia T...they've pumped out some good players and OL lately...RT propsect of the future?
Whatever happened to the guard prospect named Andrew Jackson? Did he decide to stay another year? I would have drafted him just for his name.
I like Franks, but I don't think he'll move up THAT much. Oghobaase will probably be the best available 3-4 linemen when we're OTC in the second round. I'm not a fan of Willie Young or Keiland Williams: Young plays way too tall. Williams was just never very good. For a guy that's over 220 pounds, he doesn't run like it. Can't complain about getting a solid tackle in the 7th round.
The President stayed at Fresno for his senior season. He'll be a highly rated guard prospect in 2011.
