With so many teams adopting the 3-4 lately, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go late 1st. Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Jets seem like they should all be interested. He is a high character guy with nice strength and versatility... a staple of many of those teams.
I know a second team. Alualu and Matthews were the two I was surprised fell so far. Even though I took Odrick I had to seriously consider taking Alualu at my pick in the 2nd because the value was just so good. Great pick.
Anyone see the quote from Taylor Mays today? "When I was getting recruited coaches were loving me up. Now they're killing me, telling me what I cant do." - Mays Sorry I meant an NFL team.
I thought the matthews pick was nice value but i have him as my 3rd best back in the draft. He runs too upright for my liking. I have 2 players above him and both are still available as every down backs. Matthews as a first rounder is a definite reach but where he was picked in round two he has definite value. Alualu was a good pick because of the position he plays and the demand for said position. He can never have enough stud DL. But in terms of pure value where I had him on my spreadsheet I expected to see him go in the 45-55 range. I had him as the 52nd best player in the draft, 7th at his position, but a guy who could creep up because again, the DL position is always at a premium
I pleasantly surprised at the talent thats still out there. I haven't ruled out a trade down of my 2nd second rounder.
Wow, I make my last pick and my interest in the draft has already fallen off. lol. Oh well, I have my 53 set and I've already started my final team write up!
I know some of you still have needs at DL, rb, g so I'm informing you that the following are still on the block: G Kyle Devan DT Ryan Sims DE Eric Foster RB Donald Brown Ideally looking to use these players in a 2-1 with my fifths and sixth rounders to move in to round 3 (brown) or 4. All earn less then 400k except sims at 1m
I like him, im just looking to move up. Make an offer he could be yours. I tried my best to make it easy and give you a value imo, guess it just wasnt a match
I'll wait until you log off................. yeah I'll make my selection shortly after Skeet makes his.
I have pondered about this selection for some time. I haven't ruled anything out. BTW waiting on AZ to see if he wants to do this deal then I will make my selection.
Curious if people forgot Dunlap was on the board. I did at first because he wasn't on my draft board, but about 10 picks ago I saw he was there and was pretty shocked. Certainly very good upside with him. Could be similar to Calais Campbell who struggled with inconsistancy and fell to the 2nd round, but has been pretty solid in the Arizona.
