 These are just for fun and my opinion, if you disagree feel free to list yours. Take in mind I didn't workout every prospect so I'm using the eyeball test for most picks.DRAFT DAY STEALS1.10- St. Louis Rams- ILB Odell Thurman
I'm not dissing the ILB's in front of Thurman, both are very athletic guys but I thought Thruman was the complete ILB of this draft so to land him at 1.10 was great value to me, again bare in mind I did not workout any ILB, I saw Finsher's skew and he looked solid, Jason also said Beck did quite well.
1.14- San Francisco 49ers- QB Kyle Orton
In a normal year people are jumping others in order to get the top QB in the draft. This year the 9ers sit back probably shitting themselves waiting for Orton to fall and finally land a stud QB at 14, he appears to be balanced and looks like the face of the franchise in San fran, kudos to you sir. Here's his skew OVR 79 AWR 67 THP 95 THA 86 INJ 89
1.26- Indianapolis Colts- LT Jammal Brown
I liked many on the OL in this draft and I wasn't expecting to draft one very early but at the top of my LT list was Jammal Brown who for me much like my ILB selection was the complete OT in this draft, size, speed, athletic ability and to top it all off he has top notch pass and run block. Here's his skew OVR 82 SPD 60 STR 90 AWR 70 AGI 65 ACC 71 PBK 91 RBK 86
1.29- Indianapolis Colts- CB Justin Miller
I know some are going to say he may be too small to be considered a steal but he was the #2 CB on my list, the only thing he lacked was ideal height and possibly TAK. The Colts get an absolute steal with Miller. Here's the skew on Miller OVR 77 SPD 93 AWR 56 AGi 92 ACC 94 CTH 75 JMP 89 TAK 51
2.1- Cleveland Browns- C Davis Baas
Baas looks like an immediate starter with great size at 6'4" and 319 lbs. and was the top Center by quite a bit on my list. Tom got great value here as Baas is not only a big dude but he's also extremely athletic. Here's how he skewed OVR 81 SPD 62 STR 89 AWR 60 AGI 69 ACC 71 PBK 86 RBK 87
2.28- Green Bay Packers- TE Heath Miller
To me he was the best TE in the draft by a mile, some will say John Kuhn but at 6'0" I'm not sure how well he'll do. Heath Miller has the size at 6'5" 254 lbs. , 83 CTH, 70 BTK , he's also an adequate blocker and has athletic ability to boot, this was a solid pick here and should be a great security blanket for Favre to throw to.
3.5- New York Jets- DT Antajj Hawthorne
Hawthorne was the highest rated DT on my board, I didn't workout any and I didn't see it as a huge need for us. He has a nice blend of size, athletic ability and good STR, he was also one of the better tacklers at the position.
3,23- Miami Dolphins- WR Roscoe Parrish
I know Parrish is a midget and he skews down a bit but I think he's 93 SPD. that means he can still skew up to 96 which is impressive and all his other attributes were solid also. He truly is the poor mans Steve Smith. At this point he's probably a KR/Slot WR but if Daren works on his attributes he may have gotten Steve Smith 2.0 at a very reasonable price.
3.29- New England Patriots- Erasmus James
I was really to see a talent like James fall almost completely out of the 3rd round. He doesn't have monster size but he has unbelievable STR with a heck of a burst to get to the QB or RB plus his TAK isn't back either.
4.18- Baltimore Ravens- C Eric Ghiaciuc
Another C makes the list, there were a bunch of good ones littered throughout but I thought Eric was on par with many of the others but wen't later in the 4th sso to me that's incredible value there. Here's his skew OVR 77 SPD 63 STR 87 AWR 55 AGI 68 ACC 73 PBK 82 RBK 86
4.28- Baltimore Ravens- WR Reggie Brown
I had to add Brown who turned out to be the draft gem, he now becomes an incredible steal for the ravens and GM Norbert, congrats btw. He was just an average WR before the DRAFT GEM now he will look like this. Skew OVR? SPD 90 STR 62 AWR 60 AGI 89 ACC 90 CTH 87 |
