Board mock draft

[Tubbs1518]

If professionals are giving you good reviews, they're doing so just to be kind. The same way you compliment a retarded kid for drawing a straight line. Honestly you're writing and grammar sucks! Your sentences are simplistic, you have no idea how to use punctuation, and your prose lack depth and structure. You want my advice? Invest in a few college level writing classes. But I'm pulling for you kid, if Rudy can get into the game and make a tackle then you can do it too. Go for your dreams! Rudy...Rudy.... Rudy!

If you actually think I write in my articles like I write on here you are dumber than I thought. This is a forum, I don't worry too much about grammar, spelling or punctuation. I don't go back and fix any mistake. And I've had in depth discussions with them, they don't just be kind. They give their real feelings. Again your opinion is your opinion, but I've got 50 people telling me I'm doing good to your 1 who says I'm not. I'll take the 50, thanks.

My writing is awesome!

Time for one of your Dayton Mall pictures, grad, isn't it?

The tubbs and august bullshit back and forth is enough already.

1. Tubbs has written for two different websites now, and you do have to apply. The important thing is the content of what he, or anybody else, writes. If you have brilliant grammar, but don't show any kind of intelligent reasoning and logic, then it won't matter. Grammar and/or punctuation can be fixed.

2. Both of you need to put each other on ignore at this point. You obviously have nothing of value to say to each other. Why bother?

3. Mel Kiper and Mike Mayock aren't the only people with valid opinions on the draft. There are a lot of very smart people who, for various websites, scout players and analyze the draft. Insulting them just because they don't work for ESPN or NFL Network is uninformed.

Yeah, but did you notice that when he was not participating that there wasn't any arguing? I thought he didn't care about this mock? I thought he had better things to do? He arrogantly and erroneously thought that this thread would whittle away without his all-knowing presence and now he wants back in because he can't stand to have the attention not focused on him. He's an immature and impetuous child who needs to grow up.

 

[cincygrad]

Ahh..... Draft season.

 

[augustisback003]

So did anyone actually vote at this pick?

 

[flamingrey]

I voted for Fluker.

And none of any of that nonsense changed my mind.

 

[augustisback003]

Fluker went to the Bengals, it was the Rams turn again.

Xavier Rhodes over Nuk Hopkins

Xavier Rhodes over Nuk Hopkins

My vote is for Jamar Taylor

I'm thinking they go for a CB too but I read that the one they like is Jamar Taylor, from Boise State, as they brought him in for a visit. I also agree with you that they're looking at WR as they brought in both Keenan Allen and DeAndre Hopkins and since they have two 1st Rd picks I believe they will fill that spot with the 2nd pick.

ILB Kevin Minter, LSU

Minnesota I think needs help at MLB, WR and probably DT. If Winfield winds up leaving for FA, they could need this spot as well.

However, Minter is one of the better ILB in the country and would be the Qb of a defense in desperate need of a leader on the field to anchor that squad for years to come.

I think decent WR and DT's can be had later in the draft, so I think they should go Minter at MLB. If Winfield leaves, that may put a kink in the thought process, but a defensive leader would be a much needed boost for them as they begin to rebuild that side of the ball.

I don't care for Ponder anymore either, but I can't see them going QB in the first round with their current needs / holes.

Do you think Taylor is a better CB or do you think he was brought in for a workout? I think its possible the Vikings just brought him in for a visit because they expect him to be available, i don't think it necessarily means they would draft him over Xavier Rhodes though. Also, I agree about them waiting to take a WR with their next pick.

I can see them going with a MLB to replace Jasper Brinkley but let me ask you this? Minnesota picks 23rd and 25th, with Indianapolis picking in between, do think they would go with Minter with their next pick since Indy doesn't need a MLB while they do need a CB? Taylor's stock is on fire and he's rapidly moving up the boards, if they pass of him at twenty three he may not be there at twenty five.

Where do you go to find draft needs? Because my favorite source says the biggest needs for the Colts are RB and ILB, and doesn't list CB as a need at all. Another source I look at says that the Colts need WR and DT.
