the site kicked me out and was laughing at me.

A receiver that drifts in routes doesn't sound like a big deal to the casual fan; but if you're familiar with the timing tree route of the West Coast Offense - you know it's a huge deal...

I didn't sign in or anything but I think you can make a league out of it like fantasy football. Sounds interesting and fun.

copy and paste from the other draft thread

Marcus Martin, C, USC i just do not get. great versatility i guess, starter for two years at ROG moved to OC this year and did OK. Pick him as your #1 OC on the board is putting a heck of a lot of trust upside. Because on tape i do not see a #1 OC in the draft. media department at USC strikes again or what? If he can handle the mental game at the NFL level and keeps improving his quickness in the phone box then he is the might be the right pick as the #1 OC in the draft

Colorado State's Weston Richburg is a phone both technician. head on a swivel quick feet, good short area mobility and athleticism. The biggest pluses on the kid is Highly intelligent.great intangibles, Biggest knock is strength. sandwiched between two all pro's and some weight training he should be good to go and only get better. He does have a mean streak to his game and likes to finish blocks offs. big plus in my book.

Arkansas' Travis Swanson. Best suited for a zone-blocking scheme? dirty player is always a plus in the trenches if he is smart and gets away with it. There in lies the rub. can he handle the mental aspect of the job at the NFL level. never talked to the kid so i can not answer that concern, but at times his play did leave you wondering. Plus he does not seem to play with his head on a swivel as well i would like. But he would be serviceable for sure, But I would always have the RB dbl checking for blitzes and stunts up the middle. much like they had to do with DLP.

developmental picks

Utah State's Tyler Larsen Ahh a pre season must watch of mine. He did not disappoint. scrappy blue collar mentality that held his own. he loves his pancakes that is for sure. he definitely is among the best at finishing of his blocks at all levels. i actual watched second level defenders pull up and flinch when Tyler had them in his sites. truly fun to watch. man-blocking system? maybe but with his mentality i think he is hard to pigeon hole.

Oklahoma's Gabe Ikard i do not get this kid. he may play up to his competition. at times this year he looked like a #1 OC totally ignored by the media much of the season. So focus and comment are my #1 concerns with him. But the skill set is there

North Carolina Russell Bodine Now IMO here is a player that must interview well and should have probably stayed in school. Because if your looking for a player that may develop into a starter but at the very least has an excellent shot at developing into a valuable backup at both OG and OC for years to come, this might just be the guy. He needs some positioning coaching without a doubt. he got exposed this year trying to be the heart and soul of the interior line. But as a Jr i have to ask was it a learning experience? or exposure of serious limitations? i am going with a wake up call


As you can see i like interior OL that are hard nosed blue collar lunch pail toting players and have a nasty edge to thier game. Spiting on a defenders hand is cool in my book, aka Conrad Dobler mentality.

But they have to be smart and play with their heads on swivel in order to pick up the complex stunts and blitzes that will have thrown at them at the NFL level.

no matter who you draft you will need a safety blanket IMO in the presence of a veteran mentor to back them up and help coach-em up. Goodwin would be an excellent spot player for the job. he played OG for years before switching to OC. he understands what these guys will be trying to do on all levels of the interior line

for those young pups here some clips Conrad Dobler yes he was a saint

Last year was bad enough in regards to the pocket and I really do not want to see Drew getting sandwiched because he has no pocket to step into this year. There isnt many top vets around to bring in that are a lock to play better than what we had last year. Id be hapoy to see Goodwin play out his ladt year with us and try and get another ring while helping his replacement get ready for a year.

Bryan Stork Fla St. OC/OG/OT/TE

versatile player for sure but i worry about injury. foot knee shoulder

agility in the phone booth is not his greatest trait. I see a lot of DLP in the kid. teams will stunt him and blitz him all game long. In no way could he start anytime soon.

Really hope Shazier and Ford are smoke screens; it'll be Jenkins 2.0 with the bowtie and BS game and Ford is Galette which we already have a limited-to-pass-rush linebacker...

Hoping Stork is also a smoke screen as I'd rate Bodine, Larsen, Stone ahead of him and should also be avaiable...

Like that we met with Aikens, hoped the Saints identified him to develop behind Keenan Lewis...

Josh Walker private meeting is interesting; Walker could be drafted in the sixth round or, more likely, groundwork for an UDFA sigining...

Demarcus Lawrence?!? hmm...
