The Official Hold On To Your Asses, It's Draft Day, Thread

[RobBase]

you're right as it's a wasted pick as much as I believe that drafting Rudock was. Don't care if it was BQ's guy that had to have. Both of those picks were a waste. could have had either of your wr and a handful of others to choose from. I could care less about not being a "my guy". Still had positions of need to be meet for other competition, imo

I just sucked it up as his first draft and said "fuck it"

Rudock is a great pick. Calm down.

 

[Stomp]

"Long strider. Struggles to make quick, decisive cuts. Poor feel for the right running track on stretch plays. Looks for cutback lanes that aren’t there. Will run up blocker’s back and has very little feel between tackles. Scatback who fails to run to his size. Plagued by fumbles putting ball on the ground 10 times in 227 career carries. Lost starting job this season and missed final three games due to injury. Has struggled to stay healthy during time at Washington."

Trent Richardson?

I highly doubt he would have been drafted. who knows

I know you're a UofM guy though so I get where you're coming from

Ever see him play? He's a gamer. We're talking late round picks here. Next year you guys need to send BQ your scouting reports sooner.

I saw his progression throughout the year. He got better as the year went on. Utah game was a nightmare for him. He had poor blocking, bad reads and no timing with his wr's. He didn't have anything but fall camp to go on for practice. not an easy ordeal for an incoming qb no matter the 25 games he had at Iowa. watched the MSU, tOSU in full.

Good news is that looks NOTHING like a Mayhew draft. Thank God.

Also props to @Thruthefog for calling it. No trade ups.

Probably wears a diaper.

Homer...

 

[gandydancer]

I don't want to see Rudock anytime soon. Only in preseason games.
Not really a knock on him, but more Stafford needs to be healthy.

 

[RobBase]

Homer...

He's good. You want homers, turn on the Ticket. Those bronies are STILL crying about us not taking Connor Cook. Those fucks wanted him in round 2 or 3!

Utah made a lot of QBs look bad last year. Including Goff the #1 pick.

The heart of that dominating defense? Jared Norris and Gionni Paul. Both undrafted.

KEY QUESTIONS: How important is position versatility?

Rudock is a great pick. Calm down.

Are you saying that with Tom Brady in mind? I'm all for the Wolverines, less for what we got from the Sparty's in the past.

 

[gandydancer]

When I watch him run I see Robert Smith with that stride. I don't see Robert Smith with anything else, just his stride.

There's our big back

He did the same thing with some FA signings also it seemed. Decent approach of thinking outside the box for the 46.

Battles are won and lost in the trenches. I guess I can stop whinin' to address the trenches... for a while anyway.

Until next year. The lesson isn't learned on the basis of one season. Got to keep the lines fresh and well stocked.
