stormshadow19 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 SS This is supposed to be a serious draft. Just because you know the guy, doesn't mean he should be drafted in the 3rd round Unfortunately, at least from all my readings the guy is a UDFA all the way I don't know the guy. Not personally, anyway. I'm just going by what I read. He seems to be a good player. He's rising on the boards. It was between him and Kevin Everett. I picked him cause he seemed to have better upside. It was the same way last year, when the Lions took Keith Smith over Derrick Strait. They chose the small school guy over the big school guy. Besides, that worked out for both teams involved. And, if we were drafting, it'd work out again for the Lions and for the Cards, who took Everett. He'd have Marcus Pollard to learn from, and hopefully, a coach who can develop him as a blocker. I may have taken him rather high, but not all the top TE's have been taken yet. I would have taken a DT, but from what I've heard, Marcus Bell is on his way back to Detroit, unless he gets a starter's offer. So, DT isn't a huge need.

YJF Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 There are so many picks that could be labeled as reaches right now. The reason for that is because it's easier at this point to project who will be in the first two rounds. Like I said earlier, There is very little difference between the 3rd and 6th rounders at this point. So a guy who looks like a 6 may very well go into the 3rd and vice versa. That's one of the good things and bad things with this draft. I do see value at certain spots, I just can't get into names. Even though, I wish I could.

Green Jets & Ham Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 Couple of years ago LJ Smith was being touted as the best small school TE in the draft {Rutgers} ... most Gurus projected him as a day two steal The Eagles selected him in ROUND TWO ... and now he's beginning to look like a VALUE PICK in that spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough Most fraft boards don't have him drafted I've seen him as early as the 5th, but in the 3rd it's a BIG TIME reach JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlag Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I hope Warfish likes the Russell pick. I'm pretty high on him. 6'3" 205 lbs with decent speed. He had a down senior year but had 75 rec for 1213 yards and 8 touchdowns his Junior season. Washington didn't have too much size at WR so I figured this was a good match.

Jetlag Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Who's gonna be around for awhile? I'm leaving in like an hour or so and I'm getting the feeling that I won't be able to make my pick before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 My deepest apologies guys. I have been offline almost all weekend, and last I had heard we were only doing the first two rounds here. Again, my apologies for holding up the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlag Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Tex could you take any longer to make this pick! C'mon man I'm in a rush I have to leave in 30 min and everyone before me is here.

Do you think they would have picked up a guy like Russell in reality? At this point.....with Santana Moss, Patten, Thrash, McCants and Jacobs all still on the roster (and getting roster bonuses and coach's kind comments as we speak) and Gardner still around not getting interest......I just don't see them talking a WR anymore. It's a solid pick in that this kid is a solid choice at this point I think, but I would have seen the Skins go DT/DE/CB here. No worries though!

stormshadow19 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Fair enough Most fraft boards don't have him drafted I've seen him as early as the 5th, but in the 3rd it's a BIG TIME reach JMO And you're welcomed to it. I must admit I screwed up, however. I didn't really get a chance to study all the draftees, I've been swamped with school. Save for the first round, I've mostly gone by what ESPN Insider and DD.com have up. DD has Bergen as the number three TE, and I trust Ham, Bit, and Rig's opinions. But, the draft is a crapshoot, so who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardSeymour Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'm normally wary of undersized DTs but Babineaux is a load. Since Pat Williams demands a double-team if Babineaux's inside he'll have the opportunity to wreak havoc. plus with 4.74 40 speed many think he can play outside.... Udeze---Williams---Babineaux---Williams Udeze---Williams---Williams---Babineaux However it ends up that's a hell of a rough foursome for the opponent to scheme blocks for.

Warfish Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Guys, I regret that I have to pull out of the draft alltogether...with SEVERE regrets. Work has become extreme this last week, and is only getting worse and I will not be online much at all during the day in the future here. So it is VERY likely I'd miss my picks. So I'd rather just tell you upfront instead of pissing you all off when my picks roll around. I am SEVERELY sorry to all, and sad I couldn;t take part more. DOH! Damn real world....
