Might want to change that thread title, it had me worried I missed a stage. :)

:applause: to BradZ for the conclusion of another draft season and the hard work of entering in all those picks! The great ratings reveal.

TE Marco Stewart 16/38 - looks promising, but still an uphill climb
C Jose Willis 22/56 - well, I can hope, but it's likely in vain
G Zack Snyder 19/62 - what am I doing, picking guys like this?
DT Irving Singleton 13/22 - yep. lol. Classic Utah pick.
DT Lincoln Cleaver 48/74 - not undeservedly the top-graded player of the draft class
DT Leon Hancock 17/25 - aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiyyyyy, no bueno
CB Herb Midget 28/52 -the low current makes this gambit look like a disappointment.

Feeling a little less good about this class, but at least I got Stewart & Cleaver.

4th Round: Matt Riley CB 30/49 -> RATINGS DROP INC
6th Round: Jimmy McDermid WR 10/25 -> +1 or +2 inc
7th Round: R. McElroy S - 9/29 -> +1 or +2 if I'm lucky

My first all Irish draft doesn't look too good.

Ah, that's where he went. I was looking for him in the FA pool. He might pan out.

I'm hoping! He looks like the perfect CB to take Riley's spot when he gets cut. :)

RB M. Davidson 27/34 --> Good feelings about him

WR S. Worsham 25/35 --> Great feelings about him

WR T. Von Oelhoffen 27/34 > More great feelings

OLB C. Rafalski 10/35 --> Classic gamble at LB in Ohio´s draft

CB D. Ayi 20/47 --> With only 32% developed we could have our 2nd CB for the next decade... Or another bust...


In general lines I think that we revamped our offense a little more in this Draft... Now Undrafted!!!

[Guest]

Ayi is another player I had on my shortlist. I was super defensive heavy this draft with the loss of my Gentala.

Campbell's a sure thing; if both Snyder and Barraza pan out, that's pretty strong. But doubt I'll hit on all three.


DE Percy Campbell - 32/80 - think that's for real, may even bump a bit. Monster.

WR Bryant Snyder - 20/51 - also think these numbers hold; question is, can he be productive?

WLB Les Barraza - 31/64 - I imagine this will be a big drop...

RT Sam Clarke - 9/27 - eh. Probably bump a bit, but looks scrubby.

FB Bubba Lester - 21/46 - probably gets a spot as back-up FB.

SS R.J. Hall - 20/39 - don't know why, but feeling kinda high on this one. Total wildcard.

NT Teddy Sheldon - 19/52 - meh. Might be a situational run-stopper.

2.16 - LT Harvey Barraza 26/53 - Initially the plan was to move Barraza to C, but I think he is better suited to play for us outside. Needs to bulk up, but should be a solid starter or top backup for us until he declines. B

2.17 - S->SLB Sammie Maples 14/46 - Maples gained 2 points after switching to SLB, and has the size and speed and coverage skills to make the switch.. Question will be how quickly he develops, if he develops at all. Could see a decent number of snaps for us this year depending on if we go 4-3 or 3-4. C with potential to be B+

2.24 - S Kerry Holly 21/55 - Holly is the kind of safety I have been gravitating to recently, a zone guy that can play the run. Would have liked a little more top end speed, and maybe a little more size, but Holly should work out as a solid depth/rotation S for us.
C

2.29 - WR Matthew Barrera 23/42 - Looks like he will be a mid 40's type receiver who can play a solid 3rd WR role for us eventually and may blossom into number 2 territory. He looks to be just about as advertised though, so a bump or drop of more than 2 seems unlikely. C+

3.15 - RB Gino Mileusnic 25/31 - This guy with starting number that low, feels like he has to get better. I am hoping this is a 40 OVR speed guy to pair with Gornitsky and give us a little shot of youth at RB. Mileusnic should see the field soon, but it will likely be sparingly this season without a good camp. B-

3.28 - TE Stanley Priester 26/52 - I want to believe Priester will stick to his pre camp numbers, but I can't see it. He was a kind of reach pick after we were unable to trade up and get Hinson. People were smart to not trade out of the top 25 this year. Hopefully the drop Priester has will still leave him as a serviceable stop gap until we can upgrade. C-

3.30 - CB Edgar Castillo 14/44 - I think this is a bust, straight up. Just a wasted pick in a position we're desperate for. Had hoped his 40 time and punishing hitting would be enough to counter his lackluster run defense and other shortcomings, but coming in at 14/44 while 33% developed is just a bad sign. D-

5.28 - DE-> DT Kenyon Harding 19/56 - Harding was more experienced at DT than DE, but was listed as a DE coming into the draft. I thought that was intriguing, because he has 2nd/3rd rounder type skills as a DT. I think he will be an outstanding interior run defender for us, and if we go 3-4, then he might play a little RDE in base packages. B+

6.29 - WR Mike Dorash 24/45 - Dorash is a solid late round WR who can return kicks and play special teams, and might have the ability to line up and catch a few balls here and there. He is pretty much intended to be our replacement for an aging Yuma legend, WR Darryl Lyubashevsky, and looks the part. C+

7.30 - QB A.J. Tanner 7/30 - That timing bar got me intrigued with this guy. He has enough in other areas to make me think he could possibly be a small time creeper, although he may never sense the rush well enough to start. Might make a nice stopgap someday if he does show development. C

Pre-camp, this was a disappointing draft. I expect a lot of things to change between now and then. I could end up being very happy with it, but missing on Carl Givens in round 1, Oscar Tubbs, Kennedy Hayes, Frankie Franks, Herb Kenfield, Lonnie Monroe, Patrick Gunja and Jamal Montague in the 2nd makes me feel like this is a "what could have been" draft.
