I'm going to Mexico tomorrow for four days. If I'm gone by the time I'm up someone pick for me.

I guess he is gone someone on the 49er board said to take Junior Hemingway, WR, Michigan. If he hasn't left yet he can change.

although I would be happy if he's there for my next pick, I'd be happier to actually get to my next pick

fine with me

Giants pick: Logan Harrell DT Fresno State

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

giving Clyde

Ben Bojicic, C, Bowling Green because they need some depth there

and

Tim Benford WR Tennessee Tech because Tebow can't be stuck throwing to a bunch of mediocre 30 year olds whenever he takes over as starter.

indeed sir

we've done a fine job these past few days

 

[LeaderOCola]

I suggest PMing people when they're in the next 5 or so to give them a reminder/heads up to browse the therad

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

maybe not that far ahead sir

like right now I suspect we're done for the day as Ballboy is typically a day poster

 

[ugafan6612]

This doesn't have to finish by draft day since we're on round 7 anyways and they have the draft over what is it...3 days?

The Rams aren't trading up for Blackmon IMO. I don't think teams are as high on Blackmon as you do. I would like someone to trade up for Blackmon though because i would much rather take Claiborne or trade down (unless for some reason Kalil is still there).

I am not very high on Blackmon, but the fact that a WR without so called Elite Speed is being mentioned as a target leads me to believe it is more than just a smoke screen. Mainly because it makes NO Sense whatsoever to use Him as one, when you have an Elite RB and LT on the Board. Now if this was AJ Green I could see a team using him to try and get someone to trade up knowing he wont be there later.

I think it is a pretty safe bet to assume Blackmon will not fall past #7. The fact Jacksonville is trying to Pimp Floyd (who was Punked on the Field by a 5'8' 160 pound CB in college) as somehow a great WR who they would be Very Happy Taking, shows they are trying to convince teams that even if some team takes Blackmon they dont care. So they dont have to Trade Up to draft Blackmon.

What I think Might Happen is, the Vikings take an overrated CB (which I dont think happens, which makes everything after this moot, for the most part), Browns take TR... Then Jacksonville gets nervous about either the Rams taking Blackmon or some team trading up with the Bucs. Then the Rams get worried and realize it would probably only take a 3rd rounder to move up to draft their guy (even though no one knows who their guy really is).

Bucs can then either take a much better trade with Jacksonville or get a 3rd and then draft Kalil.

I am NOT saying any of these players are better then Kalil or are more needed. I think Kalil is the 2nd best player in the draft and if the Vikings dont take him they are the Dumbest Organization on Earth. But it is obvious some teams down grade him because he might only be a 3 time all pro, instead of a 10 time all pro.

Fisher also has never really had a Bad OLine, even though the Titans never had an Elite Oline player (that I can remember). Again this is opinion.

Heck I would be glad to trade down with the Rams so they can take Claibourne also.

Great, hard working kid. He would have had a better college career if it weren't for the broken neck.

I just realized I already posted in this thread a few weeks ago, duh...

ehhh, I don't know. I was considering putting together some sort of code toolkit to grade which teams were 'closest' and which players were closest/farthest. I certainly won't bother if there's no guarantee that there's a finished product.

Well given when we started the draft, my picks for miami aren't going to be close. They at least looked like they would get flynn at that point.
