Rider Rookies hit the roster

[SoMiss2000]

How my scout sees our class:

1.13 - LDE - Korey Cassidy - 43/84
2.8 - LT - Andrew Dennis - 27/77
2.24 - RDE - Ronald Dawson - 18/60
3.6 - LDT - William Lake - 26/55
3.18 - SS - Kenny Springer - 29/58
4.13 - SLB - Darrell Riner - 25/54 (Originally a WLB)
4.22 - TE - Juan Janes - 31/60
4.23 - RB - Chris Hutton - 39/57
4.29 - SE - Randy Edwards - 20/46
5.30 - RT - O.J. Foulke - 11/57
6.3 - RDE - Ernie Andreou - 22/50
6.24 - P - Alan Purnell - 33/49
6.27 - RB - Derrick Reader - 35/40
6.29 - MLB - Vinny Romeo - 20/56 (originally a SLB)
7.3 - QB - B.J. Whitener - 12/64
7.30 - K - Percy Reese - 42/48

I've got a ton of potential here, I just hope half of them are as good as advertised when the dust settles over the next couple years.

I'm especially surprised by B.J. Whitener. That potential rating has to be too good to be true.

I have said before that I thought this draft had an enormous amount of depth, even on the surface, and it certainly appears to at this point. I'm just looking forward to Training Camp and everything afterwards to see who pans out and who was just presenting a facade that somehow fooled my scout.

Do you even have a pick next year? Dam!

They'll be the Yuma "Washinton Redskins" Aces

2.1 (33) LDT Kenny Atkins - 22/46
2.5 (37) QB Oscar Reeves - 7/38
3.4 (68) FS Corwin Dilday - 22/41
5.7 (135) RG Bart McWilliams - 19/41
6.6 (166) LCB Donnie Neigebauer - 20/28
7.5 (197) LT O.J. Rodriguez - 9/21

Remember what Skydog said....

To be clear on this: virtually every number that you see right now for your rookie players is WRONG. That's just what your scout thinks about him at the moment. The truth will be slowly revealed. It's a pretty good model.

One can only hope.

1.23 DT Bryce Harris - 39/62

5.23 K Emmitt Thomason - 56/85
6.22 SE Gary Bensen - 16/53
7.25 WLB Roosevelt Bell - 25/43

Not bad at all. Actually......booyah.

Heh.. yeah, actually I have a 1st, 3rd, 4th and 7th. I figure next year I'll just be drafting to fill a couple holes if I was right at all about this draft.

I did sign a few big name free agents.. :) But I think all 3 of them will be huge difference makers for us this year.

As for my sheer amount of draft picks, I think I more closely rival Jimmy Johnson in drafting style. Draft a ton of 'em and hope they don't all bust. But looking at everyones classes, this is still one of the strongest classes I have ever seen overall. Maybe I've just been seeing REALLY weak drafts in the eNFL and RNFL.
