2012 Draft - First Round Discussion

[Matt]

Draft starts tomorrow fellas..........for reals

[The Road Writer]

As I go over every name in the draft looking for relatives to mooch off of in the future (no luck so far) I thought I would toss out some observations on the names of some draftees.


Brady is a popular QB name this year with Brady Grant, A.J. Brady, Brady May, and Brady Milsom. Anyone want a QB with the name Brady in the 6th round?

Most likely to liven up a fiesta? C D.J. Lam, DE D.J. Oliver and CB D.J. Nixon

Future BFFs of a commish and several owners, none other then OLBs Graham Weedman and Charles Brew.

Name I have no idea to say, Typail Calderon.

Just maybe, the first IFL player of Italian and Japanese decent, FS Gino Okamura.

Pre-signing/pre-training camp, Anderson sure looks like he has a solid future despite his low developed percentage. 22/72 indicates that my scout's indication of "As Scouted" could very well come true. I expect a potential top at around 62-65, but in any case, he will be a very adequate replacement to Million.

One year as a backup behind the mentor veteran, then a starter next year.. At least that's what I'm hoping .

Now.. if I only had more picks in the top 3 rounds rather than only a second and three picks in the fourth .

I am interested in hearing from Warhammer why he had Goldberg as the #1 WR on his board. I see him as less developed, a little smarter perhaps, pretty even with combine scores.

I didn't interview any of the top three WRs so maybe affinity, over/underrated had something to do with it for him. Just surprises me sometimes what other guys may be seeing.

Working like a dog, haven't had time to prep for the draft properly, and he had nice combine scores. I don't expect the guy to look good initially, but I think he'll develop nicely.

In other words, I didn't prep for the draft as I should have. Mendenhall was the guy I wanted. Other than that I wanted to trade down, but wasn't around to swing any deals.

[Cringer]

This blows kind of. I may end up using my full five hours here, I have to wait to here from a guy about a possible trade we talked about a days ago.

[Cringer]

And I am saying right now, that draft clock is not correct. I just went on the clock about 20 minutes ago, so I should have until 2:10 PM central time.

That 1:11 Pm Eastern time screws me out of two hours. Mods, don't pick for me until 2:10 or so.

[Argot]

I must say that I am very disappointed that Nichols went one pick ahead of us...I hate the Mules.

That being said, our scouts likes Rhinehart, and Taylor can never have enough people to throw to.

[Cringer]

anyone want to move up some? i will be in the chat room for a bit incase someone does.

[Suicane]

yeah, the clock is off 2 hours. I thought it changed last year. grrr. I sent a prayer to vpi, if he can come over and fix it cool, if not we'll soldier thru.

[Cringer]

that was close, my laptop is going to die. good luck r00k

[r00k]

thanks ... choices that I liked were drying up quick and did not want to waste a 1st on a come and a prayer. Cheatwood has good combines, is underrated and probably would not have been there at 1.31. Good luck on yours as well.

[Argot]

my scout is excellent and says that Cheatwood is overrated...but he's average on young talent so....go figure...

[Suicane]

Ill have an updated file in about 30 minutes here.

Jester Jester ... uh.. squirrel molester!

[r00k]

my scout is excellent and says that Cheatwood is overrated...but he's average on young talent so....go figure...

thanks for the info.

Considering your scout is EXCELLENT with OL and mine is VERY GOOD.

& your scout is AVERAGE in young talent and my is GOOD .... this looks to be a crap shoot & hoping the good combine numbers gives the edge to this being a good pick.

Argot, I can't believe there is that much disparity in the scouted ratings when our scouts have pretty close value ratings. If he's a bust, this scouting thing is for shit!

I will be very confused on how to answer the question: How can a scout that sees a position with a VERY GOOD rating and also has eyes to be GOOD at spotting young talent present an "underrated" report for a player with good combines that indeed is a bust?

Again, thanks for the insight because if your scout is right, and he very well can be, I am not ever going to look at a scouting report again because they are as bogus as hell!
