Eagles best draft

(homer)

 

On Boik's team? I'd say Mike Williams. We have our own values and thoughts on players but I wouldn't take a guy who quit on his team in the third round. Heck no.

 

I can work with that.

 

thank you for the kind words bro regarding tennant and Jones. Regarding Williams I had a high second round grade on him for talent and a seventh round grade on attitude. I felt the late third was a compromise. With a fairly strong leadership presence in the colts locker room I felt it was fair especially since I had a need for talent at the position and knowing the way much of this crowd loves wr's I actually couldn't believe he was there. Didn't think he would get to my next pick.

 

Oh. I didn't look at anyones draft yet. I'll have a post answering your questions soon though.

 

No problem.

I figured you'd like him, honestly. Just didn't expect you to take him in round three. Was thinking four at the earliest. As you said, seventh round grade on character. Character is huge IMO, especially when that player has quit, had academic issues, team violations, etc.

 

I probably reached for Joe McKnight, but hit dead on with Pike.

 

Best draft - Steelers
Biggest reach - Honestly, not sure. I thought a lot of guys that got drafted could go at the same round in this years draft.
Best value - Arthur Jones, Indy
How did X not get drafted - Freddie Barnes, WR, BGSU - If he has success at the next level, good slot IMO.

 

You didn't like my draft?

 

Vince I'm iffy on. Very talented but he's had three knee operations IIRC and other injuries.

Pike is another Sage Rosenfels IMO.

 

I can't remember who you picked, tbh.

EDIT: Just looked.

Atlanta Falcons
Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri 19 1
Dennis Pita, TE, BYU 84 3
Jerome Murphy, CB, South Florida 115 4
Ed Wang, OT, Virginia Tech 146 5
Lonyae Miller, RB, Fresno State

I like it. Murphy is good value in round 4 IMO.

 

1. Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Mizzou
3. Dennis Pitta, TE, BYU
4. Jerome Murphy, CB, USF
5. Ed Wang, OT, VT
6. Lonyae Miller, RB, Fresno St

 

Check the edit.

 

I like him a lot. If he didnt have the "quit" on his resume he'd be an early 1/late 2 in real life in my opinion...a small notch below Dez. I love high character players...I may give him the Miles Austin treatment for a year and not play him much as a rookie but down the road I think he'll be money

 

I won't argue that. He's definitely a very good talent.

 

considering i started the draft with 2 picks......i think i did well.

Aaron Hernandez, TE, Florida 40 2
Thaddeus Gibson, LB, Ohio State 80 3
Jacoby Ford, WR, Clemson 102 4
Jarrett Brown, QB, West Virginia 136 5
George Selvie, DE, South Florida 158 5
Greg Olsen, C, Notre Dame 168 6
Terrell Skinner, FS, Maryland 173 6
Chris McGaha, WR, Arizona State 182 6

 

I think you did well too. I'm trying to figure out the Thaddeus Gibson pick but I think I know a way you can use him. Use him as the JOKER in an under 4-3 look and he can do some nice things if he develops.

McGaha that late is a huge steal IMO.

 

Dallas Cowboys
Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho 27 1
Charles Brown, OT, USC 55 2
Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford 59 2
Javier Arenas, CB, Alabama 65 3
Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, CB, Indiana 69 3
Dan Lefevour, QB, Central Michigan 127 4
Myron Lewis, CB, Vanderbilt 141 5
Antonio Coleman, LB, Auburn 167 6
Colin Peek, TE, Alabama 187 6
Clifton Geathers, DE, South Carolina 202 7
Antonio Brown, WR, Central Michigan 207 7
Budd Thacker, DT, Florida State 219 7

boom, suckas. best draft ever did done.

 

Dunno what the hell that last sentence means but nice work. Steal at picks 167 and 207 IMO. Love pick 65 and pick 55 is well worth the development. Like pick 202.

 

Thanks Alen. Thought you had a great draft too.

For anyone interested, here's my full draft:

1: 22- Jared Odrick, DE/NT, Penn St.
2: 51- Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona
3: 71- Chad Jones, S, LSU
4: 114- Lamarr Houston, DE/DT, Texas
5: 149- Donovan Warren, CB, Michigan
160- LeGarrette Blount, HB, Oregon
6: 164- Darryl Sharpton, ILB, Miami
170- O'Brien Schofield, OLB, Wisconsin
189- Willie Young, OLB, NC St.
7: 210- Jeff Byers, OC, USC

 

Nicely done. The Olsen pick is a great value. He should be gone by the late 4th in real life so getting him in the 6th is a swipe. Thought you didnt have to trade up for Hernandez, hes probably a late 2nd in real life so imo thats your reach. Not bad though...i understand reaching a bit for need.

Love the geathers pick. getting Brown at 55 is very solid though my one knock on him is he isnt very strong. Not a big fan of Lefevour. Hes not an accurate passer at all from what I have seen.

Overall its a good draft. Hard to mess up a draft this deep but still well done.

LOVE Gronkowski. My 2nd rated TE on the board. If he didnt have the injury issues he might have been my late 1st rounder lol. Best value is Blount no question. My 5th rated back in the entire draft at pick 160 is thievery. Love all the linebackers late, at least 1 will pan out, probably two. Dont really see a reach....maybe Gronkowski because of the injuries? Thats about it though.

 

My draft rules.

That is all.

 

always complaining, youre indeed no fun at all

Hey!!!!!!



Wait.....






Yes they do! Juck the Fets!!

 

Just my amature opinion:

Best value picks (not including any of mine):
Gerald McCoy @6
Derrick Morgan @18 (you're welcome GIK)
Anthony Davis @37
Ryan Matthews @47
Charles Brown @55
Tyson Alualu @57
Colt McCoy @63
Taylor Price @73
Thad Gibson @80
Dennis Pitta @84
Major Wright @103
Eric Decker @110
Dorin Dickerson @111
Jerome Murphy @115
Pat Angerer @148
CJ Wilson @157
Selvish Capers @162
Jeremy Williams @169
Clay Harbor @175
Larry Asante @184
Zane Beadles @192
Zac Robinson @223


Biggest reaches:
Dan Williams @11 (assuming the Titans stay in a 4-3)
Aaron Hernandez @40
Jevan Snead @95
Myron Rolle @126

I probably missed some with both lists, but after a quick look, that's what I came up with.

 

In case u miseed it i switched to a 3-4. If I was a 4-3 I would have went McCoy then a wr later in first.

 

My Thoughts on the Draft

-Tyson Alualu is an absolute steal. I feel he will be an absolute stud as a 3-4 end

-Bills had a real good draft. Good values on Price, Jerry, and Mathews was a real steal

-Gibson was a huge reach for Panthers but McGaha that late kinda balances it out

-Broncos reached big on Snead and Hardy. Dont like those picks at all.

-Lions could have my vote for best draft. Jpp is a bit of a reach but still a great draft.

-Price is a huge reach as he is dropping like a rock due to some concerns. Roberts and Ward are good values though

-Bruce Campbell is not a good football player huge reach there. Tennant could be steal of draft there.

-Chiefs should of donated picks to charity. At least that way they would of got more value with a tax write off.

-Sean Lee is a stretch but should be a lunch pale type guy.

-Can Pats take 2 Florida flops in real life in those rounds please. Spikes will be solid but Dunlap is a bum.

-Linval Josheph I considered in first round when I took the safety that is robery. He is a top 3-4 end in the draft pry behind just Odrick.

- I like the Egles draft. Thanks for drafting my UDFA Corner bastards.

-Donavan Warren is a wasted pick.

- Saffold is a good value at 60. Thanks for taking my UDFA in Webb

-Seahawks drafted good football players. I really liked harbor and Asante picks

-Decker in 4th is a steal

-VO drafted the **** out of the 7th round. Te'0 Nesheim is a friggin steal and a half.

-Bell is a steal in 7th too

- Titans drafted the hell out of that draft. Bryant is a stud, Williams is a stud, Allen is a stud. Starks, Sanders and Washinton will be good depth and will be future solid starters. jaws likes Kafka. guy knows qbs thats all I need to know.
