I'm drooling out of my mouth and buttyhole about the 73rd overall pick. Its going to be legendary. Our GM is a mastermind. as one of that drool was actually poop, i'll have to be catching you on the flip side.

I think I picked the picture where he looks the tiniest but yeah, Garcia's always had a problem keeping on weight. IIRC he was usually playing in the 290s range but at least he managed 302 for his pro day

That's what we've done the last couple years. I would expect the pace to only slow down at this point though, as the rounds get longer and people's known prospects come off the board. I'm thinking maybe we get through Rd 4 at this point.

The Real Draft Prediction: RB, CB, RB, QB, and more

I think I made a good Eagles pick. Kinda surprised he was still out there.

quote:

"However, there are always exceptions. Even in the last few years, the strong play of Jason Verrett and Tyrann Mathieu as well as strong rookie performances from Vernon Hargreaves and Tavon Young show that it is not always about the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean (I am so sorry). NFL players who don't match the size threshold (Usually above 5-11 with 32 inch arms) can possibly compensate for their shortcomings through technique, physicality and mentality.

Iowa's Desmond King is that exception.

Standing at 5'10", Desmond King is not the NFL's prototypical cornerback, but don't tell him that. Since taking the field a few years back, Desmond King has been one of the best, most productive cornerbacks in college football. The senior has 12 interceptions, 8.5 tackle for a loss, 33 passes defended, 1 forced fumble and three defensive touchdowns in his career as a Hawkeye. All of that in less than four full seasons... So I won't be the one to tell him he cannot be a successful NFL cornerback because of his size.

NFL Comparison: A bit of a throwback, but Desmond King looks like an Antoine Winfield clone. Like Winfield, King lacks ideal size, but also similar, his outstanding physicality and football IQ allows him to play cornerback at a high level. King is an impact run defender whose physicality allows him to be a pest in coverage and create turnovers.

NFL Projection: I absolutely think he has the ability to be a number one cornerback on an NFL defense. Though he would be best deployed in an off man or heavy zone system that could mitigate his size disadvantage and maximize his ability when the play is in front of him. The Eagles employ a lot of off man concepts in their defense and god knows cornerback is a major weak spot on the team. Adding a dynamic cornerback who can create turnovers while also being dependable against the run would be a massive upgrade from the current... I don't know what to call the Eagles cornerback situation. If King is available when the Eagles pick in the first round, it would be a near no brainer to pick him."

Yep. I thought about taking him in the 2nd before Takk fell to me, and then I guess he fell into my blindspot because he wasn't even on my radar for this round.

In this imaginary draft are we keeping up to date on player signing? Because they Rams filled some of my needs by signing a corner and shifting some other players around.

Houston have signed no-one and traded away everyone it seems like, before this draft there were a few obvious areas I could help and the Quarterback situation, which in my role as GM I decided not to deal with in the draft, since none of them are start ready.

I'm looking forward to seeing how my picks do though, will there be a postmortem in this thread later?

I suppose I have adopted the Texans as my team, since I have got to know them fairly well during this process.

Same here. I was debating between the two, but the injury history swayed me more to Jordan Willis. However, if he would've been available with my second third round pick, I probably would've grabbed him as a "never can have too many DEs" move.

We usually do a little bit but mainly comparing where guys were picked here compared to the real draft. That'd be fun to look at though, what the goon draft 3 years ago ended up like.

My philosophy is that injury history is pretty much wrapped up into the intrinsic risk of any draft prospect.
