What's a great draft? Getting 3 first year starters?

Basically.

If you can get 2-3 immediate starters, a couple of developmental backup types, and some camp bodies, it's a good draft.

anything after the third is total guesswork.

That's what I thought. I'm kinda curious because the Patriots look a shitload stronger but may have sacrificed long term potential. I'm not sure how to analyze their off-season since they traded all those picks, but they said they only had roughly 50-75 players as draftable.

In the world the rest of us inhabit, the Patriots should be sacrificing long term viability for short term success, based on the age of their hall of fame quarterback. It doesn't matter if they're trading future pieces.

In the world the Patriots inhabit, they just drafted a bunch of hall of famers in the 4th round, everyone is going to play for free, and oh I don't know Tom Brady will start another 10 seasons.

if we're talking about physical highschool freaks, let's talk about julius peppers

quote:

As he got older, Julius matured into an amazing physical specimen. He stood 6-5 and weighed 225 pounds at the start his freshman year at Southern Nash Senior High School. Basketball, which Julius saw as his ticket to fame and fortune, remained his primary passion.

Southern Nash football coach Ray Davis had a different idea. After one look at the strapping teenager, he became intent on getting Julius in pads and a helmet for the Firebirds. The frosh, however, had never played football, and wasn�t all that enamored of the thought of banging bodies with the upper classmen. Davis convinced him otherwise by promising to make him a running back.

As Davis suspected, Julius was a terror on the gridiron. For his career, he rushed for 3,501 yards and 46 touchdowns. He made an even greater impact on defense. Davis installed him on the defensive line and let him loose on opposing quarterbacks and running backs. Though most teams ran their offense away from him, Julius still found ways to dominate games. In the final contest of his career, he tracked down a back for Northeast Guilford High School, stripped the ball and raced 90 yards for a touchdown.

Though Julius also starred as a triple jumper and sprinter in track, he still felt his future was brightest in hoops. A power forward with a nose for the ball and outstanding leaping ability, he earned All-State honors as a senior and was voted All-Conference four times. In four years with Southern Nash, he amassed more than 1,600 points, 800 rebounds and 200 assists. During the summer, Julius made his name in AAU competition, and once captured a national title on a squad that included future college teammates Brendan Haywood and Kris Lang.

Jamarcus Russell's high school highlights are hilarious

i have a buddy that played hs football in alabama at one of the power schools.

he had a free blitz as a safety against russell that wasn't picked up.

he told me russell looked at him and smiled.

the way he tells it, he came to on the field with the offense celebrating a touchdown. Russell had stiff armed him so hard he blacked out, right before stepping up and throwing a 50 yard TD pass.
