Anthony Hitchens? Who?

[es4m11]

I don't know anything about this guy. Would have loved McCullers there, with Daquan Jones off the board.

Yeah, same...

Regarded as 7th rounder/priority free agent by Mayock/NFL network .

I like the two players we got at the top. But this draft is leaving a lot to be desired.

I was fine with the 1st 2 picks and understood them. This pick though... McCullers won't be there when we pick again and Hitchens, whats...

 

[Texas Jefe]

this is a WTF pick

I'm confident Martin will be a player.

I'm less confident about Lawrence, but still believe they got a good player.

I have no confidence in Jerry after this pick - not that I had much to begin with.

Still a lot of good players on the board and he goes with a guy we almost could have assuredly gotten in the 5th, or possibly even the 7th.

 

[Ekspozed]

Did they draft him to be a FB or something? This pick is stupid.

 

[tw1st3d]

yet another fuck up

can't cover
and undersized.

They just said they intend to play him at inside Lber

 

[UK Cowboy]

Maqueston Huff went off two picks after we take this clown. Unreal

 

[es4m11]

I think I am tuning out for the day, gentleman. Have a great weekend. It's been fun. Or at least interesting...

OVERVIEW
Florida native who took initiative to move out of his biological parents' house and live with a friend's family in order to attend a better, safer school and remain focused on his football career. High school running back, linebacker and kick returner who had 3,864 career rushing yards and 52 touchdowns -- earned four varsity letters in addition to playing basketball and running track. Bounced between safety, linebacker and running back as a true freshman in 2010, recording nine tackles, zero for loss and zero sacks in 10 games played. Appeared in eight games in '11, tallying 25-0-0. Missed five games because of a knee sprain. Started all 11 games at Will linebacker in '12 and notched 124-5.5-1. Was benched during the Purdue contest after multiple blown assignments, and did not play against Michigan (illness). Was the Hawkeyes' leading tackler and Defensive MVP in '13 -- started all 13 games at Will and registered 112-13.5-2 with two pass breakups, an interception and two forced fumbles.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Aggressive tackler. Flows fast to the ball (when he sees it) and has good playing range to the sideline. Plays bigger than his size and does not back down from big-bodied blockers or physical runners (see Ohio State). Fairly explosive hitter. Plays with a chip on his shoulder and is highly respected for his work ethic, makeup and overall approach. Is mentally and physically tough. Very durable despite lack of size (missed only one game in career).
WEAKNESSES Is short and lacks bulk. Tends to play narrow-based and get rooted out of the hole on inside runs. Angles and anticipation could stand to improve -- is late to sort out misdirection. Very average cover instincts -- often is lured by play-action passing game. See-and-go reactor. Modest production for a weakside position where action is designed to be heavily funneled his way -- leaves some on the field.
DRAFT PROJECTION Round 7-Priority free agent
BOTTOM LINE An active, undersized, run-and-hit weakside linebacker, Hitchens is at his best in a scheme where he is protected and free to run to the ball. Has shown gradual improvement and could stand to compete for a backup role.

Here's my question for Jerry: You have SIX!!!! fucking 7th round picks....Why not use one of them on a 6', 230 lb, slow olb projected as an UFA???? No freaking clue whatsoever. This Draft gets a freaking F!

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

The only good pick in this draft is Martin. Hitchens??? Never heard of him. He is rated as a 7th rounder at best. Picks like these absolutely kills our chances to compete. There were plenty of good players that could come in and at least be backups. This guy wont even make the roster.

We have Caraun Reid ,Telvin Smith,Mccaron, and many other good players and Jerrah drafts this stiff? This is a horrible fucking draft.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

At least trade down and get the guy later and pick up maybe a 6th

 

[msgbored]

wonder how other gm's look at Jerry and his team? When the phone rings for a trade...they have to know he's "desperate" for a player so he continues to have to overpay. But reaches like this... did a little birdie tell Jerry that team x was really high on this kid and going to steal him in the 6th round??? I mean its hard to believe a guy could be this dumb all on his own???

I guarantee there has been a compound effect with GM's over the years. They all know they can get more out of Jerry than most other GM's. So now teams rake him over the coals every single chance they get. How many other teams make the trade we made in the 2nd? IN this draft no less?

 

[Ekspozed]

Browns draft better than ours.
