Or is it one hundred and eleven?
Round 1: Ninth Overall – Mike McGlinchey, T, Notre Dame
Round 2: 44th Overall (from Washington) – Dante Pettis, WR, Washington
Round 3: 70th Overall (from Chicago) – Fred Warner, LB, BYU
Round 3: 95th Overall (from New England) – Tarvarious Moore, DB, Southern Miss
Speed is the overriding factor. A nimble big man at tackle to help the outside run game, a quick WR a quick ILB, and a quick DB.
Still not seeing a pass rusher, but this wasn’t the draft for it. I’d think CB and WR and a flier at OLB.
Today is . . .
Round 4: 128th Overall (from Pittsburgh)
Round 5: 142nd Overall (from Washington)
Round 6: 184th Overall
Round 7: 223rd Overall (from Miami)
Well any guy that can squat 700lbs like Ketavius Street (ACL not withstanding)did on YouTube has me impressed!
Dude’s a monster and hoping in the future he can “Unleash Hell on QB’s”
He was a high 2nd round guy before the injury. Late round flier? Sure. At least Lynch didn’t draft a punter.
I’m not crazy about the move for these injured guys but I understand the risk/reward shot. It’s just that our recent history has been dogshit in this regard.
I like the top 3 picks though. It’s all about speed. We got faster on the line, at WR, and on defense.
I like the early part of the draft too Chuck, but the jury is out, really out, for the rest since Street wears civvies for the year.
It was a bleh draft this time for me, could be good, or not.
Looking back its fair to question the Foster pick given his first years activities, they gave up a lot for him and he let them down and followed true to his form, even with just the weed and guns part.
The DA has said they are going ahead despite the girlfriends recant, very unusual given that she says it was another person that hit her not him.
Wait and see on the outcome but the pick is tarnished already.
I feel the same way about the draft, very anticlimatic. What I did like was that we went offense early and on paper improved our chances of success.
We actually traded little to move up and get Foster, 12th. We traded our 2nd round pick and a mid-4th round pick to get him. It may not work out, but at the time it was a good deal.
I should say I like the first 4 picks. All fast, all upgrades.
