QFT. They're terrible. Doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong here, of course.Originally Posted by HarveyWallbangers
Yeah, they took the best player on their board (at a premium position) instead of reaching in the secondary. If Bud Dupree were there at 30, I imagine Green Bay would have picked him, also.
What I've heard is that New England also had D. Randall rated above M. Brown on their board.
I'm just waiting for wist to come out and say that it doesn't matter how good The Randall is, dunderdummy won't use him right anyways.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
He added the weight prior to the Combine, so he was still fast with it.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I read he put on the weight before his senior season. Which is correct?
HOFer
so he might actually look faster on game film then he was at the combine
i wonder if he'll lose some of it now that he is a cb?
HOFer
don't know, i read that he put on weight for the combine
Eat your heart out, boys. This from Rotoworld:
Saints coach Sean Payton envisions No. 31 overall ILB Stephone Anthony at Mike linebacker.
"We like the makeup, his size, his flexibility, position flexibility, I think he can play either inside position," Payton said. "I think he is probably most suited to play Mike, so he has that body type." Mike was Anthony's college position, and where he'll almost certainly start come Week 1. A sure tackler with plus athleticism, Anthony could play all three downs.

One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

I like the kid's ball skills. Those are intangibles that you can't teach. I wish he was a little taller, but he's not small. I question if he can be a true CB in the NFL. Picking at the end of the 1st round is always a big crap shoot. I didn't really see anyone else who I thought was going to be a sure fire starter in year one still on the board. Thompson has had a rather good track record in spotting secondary talent, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until I see the kid in camp.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Everything Wist is saying about Randall is how I feel about Sam Shields.
Randall's inexperience doesn't bug me. If this staff can teach an undrafted guy with a year of experience and a learning disability to play corner its foolish to bet against Randall. Ready your crow hole Wist.
70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.
But half of wist's criticism would be on point, if he were tagged to play safety, esp. some strong or in the box safety. But he isn't being asked to do that.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I know some of these have been mentioned, but I went on line to list as many evaluations as I could. Here goes:
NFL. Com:
Maycock - #30 of his top 100, mocked him being draft at #20.
Brandt - #35 of his top 40 list.
Jeremiah – not included in his top 50.
Brooks – mocked at #29. Ranked as a “Red Chip Prospect” (contribute immediately, starter by end of the year).
Zierlein & Reuter – mocked at #40.
National Football Post - #85 on their "Big Board".
Banks (Sports Illustrated) - mocked at #29
Walter Football - mocked at #38.
Rang (CBS Sports) - #29
Matt Miner (Bleacher Report) - mocked at #29
Schrager (Fox Sports) - mocked at #27
McGinn (JSO) - mocked at #20, ranked as the #2 safety available.
HOFer
should be noted that walter football gave the pick a B- because it was a bit of a reach and ILB was clearly a bigger need with all ILB's available at the time
and TT must have fallen in LOVE with him.
TT had better options.

He better be able to play CB. Why in the hell do we keep trying to shove round pegs into square holes like we did here and a couple of years ago with Nick Perry?
I really don't think this was a great draft class. I heard some say only the top 20 guys in the first round were first round value this year.

Seale on Damarious Randall: Baseball player, good hands, slot, free safety
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Did they give him number 36? He is only a corner because he they have good safety depth. He will play center field by the end of the season.
Can't believe anyone really believes the kid should have gone that high... sounds like someone started a misdirection campaign that this kid was a player, and people began to believe the ruse.
Seriously, just put on the game tape of the guy... he couldn't tackle your grandmother. Soft, softer, and please don't hurt me type of player. The more I watched of the guy, the more I thought I was alone in the Twilight Zone - wondering, am I the only one who is seeing this??
Apparently I am the only one who is seeing it, b/c what I saw of Randall should have him flipping burgers at McDonalds before he belongs on an NFL roster.
I'm sure he'd be All-World in a flag football league - but the NFL aint that.
