Well, he is coming out of the Big Sky Conference, which is known for producing elite NFL talent...

Not a big Rodriguez fan. He's a FB/H-Back that lacks toughness, converted QB. Twice-convicted felon. Can catch & make first guy miss.

Thanks buddy. I was also looking through the thread for your opinions on Shane McClellin, Alshon Jeffery, & Brandon Hardin.

Maybe I will wait for your post-draft analysis of every team :wink:

BPA: Iloka, and Lions just traded up. Fingers crossed!

I'll hit the Bears board later. Hardin is your best pick so far but I'm not a Jeffery hater.

About time Sanders came off the board, thought he would go a round earlier.

The Bills are having a very good draft.

i think a lot of teams are having good drafts, i dont know if its the new cba or something

But I think a lot of teams have helped themselves out this year

and I cant get over the Pats and how many D players they added

Cardinals have added about 700 pounds of beef to OL. Coach Whiz rebuilding the Steelers in the desert with long/strong tackles that can't handle speed but will win every streetfight. Tough to play against when so many teams use zone blocking now, I like the against the grain style in NFC West.

I agree, but people are gonna say New England had a great draft regardless of who they draft. It happens every year, even though a lot of the guys end up not being very good. They could've taken that punter from Cal in the first round and people would still be calling BB a genius.

That's the truth, but I guess they have earned that leeway because of their past success.

Pats drafts 06-09 were Millenesque, just four current NFL starters and five backups that ever play out of 39 picks. Mayo, Gostkowski, Chung and Vollmer the only starters. Missed a lot more than they've hit since then too but too early to write it all off. TE and OL have been good, every other pick has flopped but McCourty who was great as rookie but truly awful in 2nd year.

Mohamed Sanu might be the most soft spoken WR I have ever seen.

Post #675 » by **Icness** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 7:02 pm

Zebrie Sanders won't make the Bills.

Rokevious Watkins will make the Rams.

Like Kaddu to Miami and Prater to Bengals.

Jack Crawford is a dead ringer for Charlie Villanueva, only thicker.

steelers get rainey, i'll be curious how much burn he gets in the league, id have loved to take a flyer on him, guys about the quickest sum' bitch i eva seen

Post #677 » by **Da Schwab** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 7:07 pm

Ic, before I forget to ask, why did Bobby Massie fall so far? He's another guy I remember being high on some early mocks.

Also, I think Chris Rainey can be a very special weapon one day.

I've been away all day.

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

Post #679 » by **Maritimer** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 7:16 pm

Second player the Steelers have taken with off the field issues. Sounds like Rainey could be a really good special teams player, especially returning kicks. I'm on board with that -- I'd rather not have Brown take the beating back there if he's going to be our #2.

Post #680 » by **Da Schwab** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 7:17 pm

Packers get Terrell Manning. I think that might be a great steal.

And, Mike Tomlin is a pleasure to listen to. Sounds a great deal more approachable than many other coaches.
