Draft Review and Analysis

[Pattersonca65]

Not really related to anything, but I watched the movie Draft Day on HBO last night. Terrible. Who is it marketed to? Serious football fans will find the premise laughable. Less-than-serious football fans probably couldn't care. I had heard it was a decent movie; incorrect.

It was an awful movie.

I don't think they can afford any serious injuries in their secondary.

Another thing about Seattle. How long is Carroll going to coach? He is no spring chicken. Second oldest coach in the NFL.

Despite his age, Carroll is healthier than about 25 other HCs in the league, likely including our own. He seems to enjoy coaching. I think he's going to stick around for some time longer.

And so the hell what you lose a 7th round pick:

La'El Collins - T - Cowboys

According to G/T La'El Collins' agent, the Rams were prepared to select Collins with one of their two seventh-round picks before ultimately passing on him.

"We were praying he didn’t get picked," agent Mike McCartney said. "There was a team that had drafted four offensive linemen," fellow agent Gene Smith added, "and they said, ‘We’re taking him.’ And I texted back, ‘You’re going to embarrass yourself. You’re going to waste this pick.’" The Rams foolishly passed and instead used their seventh-rounders on DE Martin Ifedi and LB Bryce Hager, two players who face long odds of making the 53-man roster or ever contributing in the NFL.

Sudden impact: Projecting top 100 NFL rookies of 2015

72. DT Arik Armstead, San Francisco 49ers: He'll be part of the rotation early for a rebuilding team before eventually assuming the starting role and holding down one edge.

77. TE Rory Anderson, San Francisco 49ers: Nobody is replacing Vernon Davis, but Anderson can be a nice complement in some two-tight end sets as a mismatch against just about everybody.

96. OLB Eli Harold, San Francisco 49ers: Eric Mangini will turn him lose to get after the passer when needed despite likely seeing a limited number of snaps early on.

Dante Fowler - DL - Gators

Twenty seven percent of the 2015 NFL Draft played high school football in Georgia or Florida, according to Jamie Newberg.

The two states combine for 69 of the 256 draft picks. To take it one step further, Florida, Georgia, Texas and California can claim almost half of the draft pool (28 percent). Georgia is a bit of a new face, as Newberg points out Florida, California and Texas have been the high school to NFL factories for years.
