The post season is finally here. And you know what that means? Draft Season! so what better time than now to put out all kinds of controversial hot takes and to get the Draft hype going way too early.
1.01- San Diego Chargers- CB Xavier Rhodes
While having the number one overall pick in the draft is usually a golden ticket for a rookie to help turn the tide with a struggling franchise, The Chargers are an anomaly, while finishing last in the SFL last year, The Chargers have a fantastic roster and drafting for need is very hard with a team with talent so deep at each position, so my prediction is that this pick will either be traded or used to draft best available and in my opinion the #1 is Xavier "Rhodes Closed" Rhodes. Tall, Fast, Explosive, Big, and a sure tackler. It's clear to see the appeal in Rhodes
1.02- Tennessee Titans- OT Eric Fisher
First off, I would just like to say...damn it. What's that saying? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me? Well, that kind of applies here. Last year in the draft I'm sure you all remember my crazy unlucky first round draft history, the pick before my pick always finds a way to pick my top prospect just before I have a chance, Last year's being Titans GM Apollo Shapiro taking MLB Dont'a Hightower before me, and to make matters worse I made a split second to trade my future 1st to Apollo for a pick which would turn into OLB Bobby Wagner, and now Apollo is sitting very comfortable with the #2 overall pick. In all seriousness Apollo has a history with favoring the physical anomalies and prototype players, and that is why Eric Fisher fits perfectly in a Titans uniform, Projected 72 SPEED! Even with an awful skew that is terrific. 86 ACC just adds onto the physical specimen that is Eric Fisher.
1.03- Tennessee Titans (Again)- WR Justin Hunter
What a shocker! Apollo has multiple top 10 pick this year! Who could have seen this coming? But to compliment his new addition on the Offensive Line, why not give Sanchez some more toys on Offense with another generational talent with Justin Hunter, 20 y/o 6'4, 95 Speed, 98 ACC, 96 AGI, with his only visible flaw being his low catch rating in 63. Hunter is my way too early pick for OROY.
1.04- New Orleans Saints- DE Dion Jordan
The Saints are in a very similar situation as the Chargers. Talent everywhere, with youth on their side in some positions as well. So, I would say this pick either goes best available or traded. The best available would be Dion Jordan, Jordan is the type of player who lives rent free in the minds of Offensive Linemen and QBs, a speed demon with great strength to shed blocks coming off the edge and swallow QBs before they can even finish their 5-step drop. Absolute animal.
1.05- Tampa Bay Suckaneers- WR Cordarrell Patterson
First off, how the hell did my dad get a top 5 pick? My prediction is that for the next couple of weeks he won't shut up about how he has the #5 pick to rub it in, and with said pick I think a player like Patterson is the guy, Dad has an obsession with making every inch count (lol) and with Patterson has going to value that extra inch more than a couple of speed attributes in comparison to a WR like D Hopp.
1.06- Buffalo Bills- RB Latavius Murray
With the Bills selection we should see our first of many elite RBs go off the board, Murray is a complete RB who would be a day one starter for the Bills, what separates him from the rest is his combination of athleticism with inelegance. The cream of the crop from a very talented RB class
1.07- Kansas City Chiefs- DT Sylvester Williams
The statement "Speed Kills" has never been truer for Williams. A beefy, fast, run stuffing/pass rushing DT like Williams is a great choice for the Chiefs to heavily contribute to the defense and rip into interior linemen.
1.08- Miami Dolphins- DE William Goulston
The defending AFC Champions will look to improve their already star-studded roster with drafting Kalimba Edwards long term replacement with him reaching retirement age. Golston's age of 20 years young will work well long term.
1.09- Indianapolis Colts- DT John Jenkins
The best way I can describe Jenkins skill set would be to compare him to your grandparents old 1970 Dodge Charger that's been waiting for the light of day to shine, He Might not have killer speed from the get go, but boy can it move for such a large and strong package, Great run stuffer that will start day 1!
1.10- Tennessee Titans- CB DeMarcus Millner
Look who's back on the clock, Its Apollo. At this point I think Youd just have to go best available and that's DeMarcus Millner. Tall, Athletic, Sure Tackler, Low AWR but that's par for the course with these DBs
