The Draft Thread

[Roger Murdock]

Thoughts on Ryan Miller?

[studcrackers]

I've been away all day.

What did Carolina give to trade up in the 4th?

i think you swapped picks w/san fran and gave up i think a 6th rounder and then next years 3rd

[kdawg32086]

Wasn't Dennard supposed to be a 1st rounder at one point? What happened?

2012 6th and 2013 3rd.

Adams (WR/PR), Alexander(DE) and Norman(CB) today. Good picks for Carolina. They have had a good draft. Most Carolina fans seem to be real happy. Getting good reviews on ESPN and NFL Network. Wish I could hear the guys on Sirius NFL discuss it. Really value their opinions, especially Tim and Pat.

Holy balls, Ryan Miller is a massive man.

Mother **** Hurney. Always trading damn high picks for low picks.

I told you we'd get Norman. Adams seems pretty good too but I don't know anything about Alexander. I'll have to read up on him.

Bengals get Iloka. I really, really like what they've been doing this weekend.

Here you go Jaruff:

OVERVIEW

A two-year starter at defensive end for Oklahoma, Alexander could have some versatility given that he has been in a stand-up position occasionally. He has some girth and could be an option at outside linebacker for a team that could live with a pure rusher who doesn't cover much in the flats. Alexander is a high-energy player who uses his length well and could be a good rotational option at the next level. He should be drafted in the late rounds.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS: Alexander is a lengthy athlete and uses his arms well against the run. He sheds blocks well, is instinctual from a three-point stance or standing up, and is a natural player on the edge. He can make plays once in the backfield and is a solid all-around edge prospect.

WEAKNESSES: Alexander struggles when double-teamed. He might be a better fit as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme; doesn't bend real well and gets stopped in his tracks when overpowered. It takes time to get his big frame moving.

[Da Schwab]

Is it weird that I can't believe that Rex Grossman made a roster over John Beck.

Also, stop beating this RG3/Cousins storyline to death.

[Pharmcat]

did that boise QB with 50 + wins get drafted?

[Da Schwab]

did that boise QB with 50 + wins get drafted?

No, and he shouldn't either. Even Chad Pennington laughs at his arm strength.

[Maritimer]

Kellen Moore. Nope, he's still on the board.

[kdawg32086]

Case Keenum and Darron Thomas are still there too.

[Maritimer]

Question for the experts -- any chance that Pittsburgh finds a CB in the 7th round who can contribute? They have no 6th round picks, but 4 in the 7th.

[Da Schwab]

Why has Chris Polk not come off the board yet? The man is a workhorse.

Good line, and true too

Lacks burst and vision. Never saw much in him, generic back. Having said that, watch my Lions take him.

[Roger Murdock]

I remember some guy telling me that Kellen Moore has a strong arm because of that bomb he threw to Titus Young. The same play where it only went like 45 yards and he had a huge running start on the release.

But Kyle said Beck was a top 10 pick at one time ...

Maybe that's why he isn't with the Texans anymore.

Good look. Thanks.
