  1. Yeah, I think center is probably the best position on the team (certainly on the offense) where technique can make up for lack of pure athleticism. It's often where the least athletic/strong but best technician/smart guy goes. I think that's who this is, and that's a hugely valuable thing to have.
  2. Is E supposed to be worse than F? Oh, I zoomed in on the small print. It means expelled. OK, that's pretty funny.
  3. No. I think your intellectual martyr schtick is dumb, and you can't even tell the difference between mocking and teasing. I'm not playing. You take yourself too seriously, even as you pretend that you don't. Instead, I'll join you in getting back to this particular topic. I don't think we took this kid because of anything his coach said. I think it's a data point, and hopefully they ignored it due to Wilson. I don't like this pick because I just don't like the guy's demeanor and attitude. But he's an interior OL, and we definitely needed that. I'm just glad we also drafted a center. We need so much help along the OL, and there were no quality tackles at our picks (or at least not above the people we DID pick at each selection).
  4. In terms of value and contribution to the team, yeah, it may well be. I love Tate, but this was a steal.
  5. I didn't call either Vrabel OR Russini a whore. I actually think they had a relationship...like really liked each other and weren't just using each other.
  6. Older player at a position of low value (in draft terms). Does not have great measurables and gets by on technique. Heady player, who will get to play because of it, but not dominant NFL traits.
  7. Got it....unless someone is dancing with someone else's wife, in which case, we can fool you a thousand times. I kid...I kid.
  8. The only two picks I feel will definitely be starters here for the next 5 years are Tate and Hill. I like Faulk for his upside and as a rotational run stopper (at the very least). I really like our new RB, but I don't think he'll ever be the main guy. Coogan could be a starting center, maybe even this year. The others we drafted are roleplayers, IMO. Potential upside, depending on coaching. But I LOVE the Tate and Hill picks.
  9. He's very athletic. I wonder why he switched positions, actually. Pretty impressive season, though, considering that. He's likely ST for us, at least for now.
  10. That was our last pick, dude. Do you mean bring him in as an undrafted FA?
  11. I honestly think the CBs left are all the same, and getting them in UDFA is fine.
  12. NFL.com has him listed as the 282nd best player in this draft. For the record, there are 257 picks in the draft, total.
  13. A TE is a good idea, but I don't know anything about this guy
  14. Why is Lawson from Bama still on the board? Size?
  15. Oh I meant his Twitter post a few above mine when I wrote that...in this thread.
  16. The top three on Brugler's list are also my top 3 right now. I'd be happy with any of those. I know I'm alone in wanting the LSU QB. But I think we could sit him and develop him well.
  17. Anyway, I'd kind of take a swing on swing tackle Diego Pounds, if he's still there with our final pick. He isn't likely to be a starter..ever. But he could be a good backup.
  18. Center, like kicker and punter, is one of those positions where you can get a top 5 guy in the 5th or 6th rounds. I really like this one a lot.
  19. I like this pick a lot. I think at worst, he's that Corey Levin type who sticks around and can backup others for 5 years. But upside as a starter. Good value at this poing. I heard Mendosa praising him last week and saying that any team that gets him is getting a leader who really understands blocking assignments. ETA: I'm leaving the typo so NashvilleNinja can make fun of it. He needs a break.
  20. Honestly, Nussmeier still being on the board surprises me. He was clearly injured this year, but the year before he looked good. I saw that Diego Pavia was surprised he wasn't drafted in the first round. Wonder how he feels today... As a Vandy fan, I've never soured on one of our faster than with that guy.
  21. Undersized and not great instincts. BUT, I think he'll get drafted...barely.
  22. I just saw he was named MVP at the Rose bowl? That's a pretty strange thing for an IOL.
  23. I just don't like any of the DBs left, especially at CB. OL, there is plenty.
  24. My guys are all still there...changed nothing about what I want.
