Grade the 2016 draft

[Fritz]

I think Patler at least agrees that you need arms. Lowry is maybe the first player I've watched where you really notice the lack of length. So many impact plays seem to slip through his alligator arms. Its not just the arms either, its the combination of short arms, wide chest, and long torso. He's shaped like three midgets in a trench coat. To finish plays his sternum has to touch who he's trying to tackle which leads to lots of lunging and an inordinate amount of time on the ground for a guy as athletic as he is.

That's some funny stuff right there.

Agreed, both of us do accept that you need arms. This will just help narrow down how long they need to be.

As a minimum, I think the guy should have arms long enough so that he can touch his palms together in front of his chest. Does Lowry meet this requirement?

I think he could manage that. But f he stood straight up I doubt he reach the change in his pocket.

lol

[pbmax]

There have to be PEDs for that. They can go without him for four games.

Maybe splice in frog DNA?

I give this draft a:

This is the festivus pole. It stands unadorned with no tinsel or flash. Just like the Packers draft. No wow picks, nothing fancy. Just a straight up solid draft with a good strength to weight ratio.

[Joemailman]

I'll bet Lowry never picks up the check.

I hope he has a girlfriend because it looks like his arms are so short he can't even beat off.

[Freak Out]

Why is he wearing gloves?

Can someone photoshop an alligator head on him? We'll name him Wally.

[Maxie the Taxi]

So when he runs he doesn't scrape his knuckles on his rib cage?

Thanks Craig!

[pbmax]

Love that Wally.

I'm unfamiliar with your sense of humor. Is this like a Harlan boner reference?

We were to grade the draft with an emoji. I chose the festivus pole. If you are unfamiliar with it, feel free to google festivus, or just wait a while and I'm sure woody will be happy to provide you with some links.
