Official Day 2 (Round 2&3) Of The NFL Draft Thread

[Brandon494]

I definitely prefer HaHa to Pryor. As for Amaro v. Adams, well that's more of a push in my estimation.

Amaro or Troy would have been the pick if they were still available.

[woodbuck27]

Yup. Tennessee picked Sankey from Wash. Cincy got Hill from LSU, and SF got Hyde from Ohio St.

Great for RB's....Thanks.... my puter is acting bad right now.

[woodbuck27]

Amaro or Troy would have been the pick if they were still available.

You've seen TT's Draft Board !

[woodbuck27]

Yup. Tennessee picked Sankey from Wash. Cincy got Hill from LSU, and SF got Hyde from Ohio St.

Got it and:

Three RB's picked in Round 2 between Picks 54 and 57.:

A virtual panic run on RB's.

[pbmax]

He a perfect fit for our scheme which is why I liked him over several other WRs mentioned on this board. I think I'm the only one who has even mentioned Davante Adams....LOVE THE PICK! Typical TT WR, always goes after WRs with good hands who catch the ball away from their body. He reminds me of James Jones of course but also Crabtree.

Nice call Brandon. You and Shadow are having a great weekend.

[smuggler]

Jacksonville trying really hard to justify the pick of Bortles at 3rd overall...

[pbmax]

Harvey has mentionted him a few times

Good for Harv too.

[Bretsky]

Great pick by Jags IMO; leader in receptions and yds for two straight yrs in Big Ten. I was hoping he'd go to a team with a proven QB though. Jags going young on offense with a rookie QB and first two picks as rookie WR's.

[Brandon494]

Nice call Brandon. You and Shadow are having a great weekend.

No the Packers are having a great weekend!!!! :cow:

[woodbuck27]

Ted Thompson is doing very very well so far in this 2014 draft and prospect picks.

[wist43]

I had Adams a little further down than the other 2nd round receivers b/c of his pedestrian speed, he's a one-speed runner, and doesn't create seperation.

Kind of a hard guy to evaluate b/c he ran so many bubble screens and comebacks... he production was super inflated b/c of all that short crap.

Had Moncrief, Latimer, and Robinson all ahead of him.

Still, he's probably worth a 2nd round pick... not thrilled with him, but I'd rather have him than Amaro, or one of the defensive duds that everyone else was reaching for around us.

[MadtownPacker]

Fuck yeah TT finally listened when I posted to get a Fresno St player!!!!

[woodbuck27]

Nix, Louis NT 6'2" 331 Notre Dame 5.9

Verrett, Jason CB 5'9" 189 TCU Pick 25, Round 1 (25) Chargers 5.9


Moncrief, Donte WR 6'2" 221 Mississippi 5.9


Su'a-Filo, Xavier OG 6'4" 307 UCLA Pick 1, Round 2 (33) Texans 5.9


Mason, Tre RB 5'8" 207 Auburn 5.8


Garoppolo, Jimmy QB 6'2" 226 Eastern Illinois 5.8 (** Hold That !!!)


McCarron, AJ QB 6'3" 220 Alabama 5.7


Jackson, Gabe OG 6'3" 336 Mississippi St. 5.7


Are the fellas now freaking out !

** The New England Patriots go with:

Jimmy Garoppolo - QB - 6'2" 226 - Eastern Illinois and a Grade of 5.8 ..

Comment woodbuck27:

and Tom Brady feels like Brett Favre did when TT selected Aaron Rodgers?

No ! I don't believe so.

QB's like Favre and Brady don't panic. They know what they bring to the teams they play for.

Jimmy Garoppolo may not ever get to be the Pat's #1 QB. He'll learn a ton.

[red]

hey tom, meet your replacement. can you retire after next season?

[Bretsky]

gotta think our eye is on D if the Iowa TE is not there in round three

You guys and 40 times....has Chad Jackson taught you nothing?

[Bretsky]

DAM....didn't realize til now we drafted a Fresno playa...the kiss of death.........lol

[Rastak]

Patriots apparently like to have options for the future....not a bad plan.

[pbmax]

So are the Patriots now going to deal Mallett to the Texans?

[mraynrand]

I thought Harv was highest on Latimer. I like that Adams seems able to shrug off press coverage.

[Bretsky]

HOODY GENIUS....hands down best coach in NFL
but

he very well might be the worst GM in the NFL

he reached in round one and picked a QB in round two when it seems like Brady is around for quite a whiile still

[Rastak]

So are the Patriots now going to deal Mallett to the Texans?


Could be.

[Bretsky]

So are the Patriots now going to deal Mallett to the Texans?

they must
they might as well trade Mallet so they don't have to pay him

[MadtownPacker]

DAM....didn't realize til now we drafted a Fresno playa...the kiss of death.........lol
You don't like the pick? Damn that makes me feel great!! Stick to caramel tasting, an area you can make the right call on. :lol:

[woodbuck27]

Fuck yeah TT finally listened when I posted to get a Fresno St player!!!!

Hi Mad: :-)

Your happy and we're happy Mad.

Packer Nation is delighted with this draft so far.

[Joemailman]

[wist43]

I thought Harv was highest on Latimer. I like that Adams seems able to shrug off press coverage.

That's just it... if the CB was locked up in man, and wasn't playing off - I didn't see Adams create any seperation. He still made a ton of catches with tight coverage on him, but that's a double edged sword. He catches well with tight coverage on him, but he always has tight coverage on him...

Like I said... watch some tape on him - just a shit-ton of bubble screens, and short comebacks. Makes it very difficult to see if he can run routes... add to that, he seemed only to have 1 gear - Good hands, good size, good production...

We'll see.

[smuggler]

I'm SHOCKED that Matt Millen loves the Jaguars WR picks. (Marquise Lee, Allen Robinson).

[Joemailman]

You don't like the pick? Damn that makes me feel great!! Stick to caramel tasting, an area you can make the right call on. :lol:

He better be better than Tyrone Culver.

[wist43]

Wow, lol... Carolina - absolutely hate both of their picks.

Glad I'm not a Panthers fan :)

[red]

ah shit

[Brandon494]

Some good DTs left in the draft...I'm guessing that is where we will go with one of their 3rd rounders.

[pittstang5]

Damn, all TEs I give a crap about are gone.

[pbmax]

But did he pick him in the Packers Draft Contest? I don't think so!!!! :cow:

Or maybe he did :lol:


1 Ryan Shazier
1 Kyle Fuller
2 Davante Adams
2 Terrence Brooks
3 Justin Ellis
3 Billy Turner
4 Brock Vereen
4 Walt Aikens
5 Ryan Carrethers
6 Keith Wenning

ah shit

Stop leaving unfinished thoughts in here.

[woodbuck27]

HOODY GENIUS....hands down best coach in NFL
but

Yes I think they could have picked better too.

Pass rush and Safety....The stronger TE's are gone but C.J. Fiedorowicz, - Iowa and a grade of 5.4 was there.

Martin, Kareem DE 6'6" 272 North Carolina 5.6

McCullers, Daniel DT 6'7" 352 Tennessee 5.6
Johnson, Anthony DT 6'2" 308 LSU 5.5

Crichton, Scott DE 6'3" 273 Oregon St. 5.5
Stinson, Ed DE 6'3" 287 Alabama 5.5

Coleman, Deandre DT 6'5" 314 California 5.5

are all there and still there is:

Nix, Louis NT 6'2" 331 Notre Dame and a Grade of 5.9

[denverYooper]

I like that Adams seems able to shrug off press coverage.

This. The NFCW teams love to mug GB's WRs. If he can win battles there, GB's in good shape on offense against them. Well, as long as AR pulls the trigger.

how tall is that blonde? moses is 6'6. she has to be 6'2

[Brandon494]

Only allowed to pick 9 players...disqualified!!!!

[wist43]

Damn, all TEs I give a crap about are gone.

Crockett Gilmore is a good player... would rather have him further down, than the guys that have gone so far.

[woodbuck27]

how tall is that blonde? moses is 6'6. she has to be 6'2

Moses was taller after he came down from the mountain.

[pbmax]

Davante Adams: http://www.packersnews.com/article/20140509/PKR0101/140509023/Davante-Adams-meets-Wisconsin-media


*Meeting with Packers, it was amazing being around that type of vibe. Some of meetings I was in with other teams, coaches weren't as excited. I could tell I could get along with Packers coaches.

*I'm ready for cold weather. Coldest game I ever played in was 10 degrees against Nevada in Reno, or Colorado State we had a snow game. Both games I had great games.

[pittstang5]

Crockett Gilmore is a good player... would rather have him further down, than the guys that have gone so far.

I was just looking at him....weird.

[pbmax]

Dez Southward just went in the 3rd round, Pick 68 to the Falcons.

I wish him the best, he seems like a good kid. Freaky athletic.

But the Falcons are nuts.

[Brandon494]

Yes keep taking RBs...let the DTs fall.

[pbmax]

Is this Kid or Play?

OT - Morgan Moses - Virginia ACC ..Goes to the Redskins at Pick NO. 66.

and then the Dolphins fall into suit and go OT as well and Pick NO. 67:

Billy Turner OT From North Dakota St. joins the happy Miami Dolphins Locker room.

Vikes coming up - Borland? Desir?


Maybe a gaurd......

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 33s
Here it is: RT @NFLCharean: Jerry admitted Manziel was highest-rated player on Cowboys' board at No. 16. Just too much invested in Romo.

[bobblehead]

But did he pick him in the Packers Draft Contest? I don't think so!!!! :cow:

You earned tooting your own horn with the list you had tumbling right down to our pick. Well played.

[Brandon494]

Kid

[woodbuck27]

At Pick NO. 69 ... The Tampa Bay Buccaneers go to Charles Sims RB (6'0" 214) From West Virginia ... Grade = 5.3

[woodbuck27]

A lot of players fell and are falling in Round two.

NT/DT Louis Nix III.....athleticism !?

Add:

** WR Donte Moncrief.

** RB Tre Mason and Andre Williams

** QB AJ McCarron

** OG Gabe Jackson

** DE Kareem Martin

** OT Antonio Richardson

** DT Daniel McCullers

Are all still waiting to be drafted.

I want that stovepipe flattop fade, or whatever it was called to come back. If you aren't balding, let it go nuts.

Peter King @SI_PeterKing
RT @AdamSchefter: Definitely would not count on a Ryan Mallett trade to Houston or anywhere. Mallett expected back in Foxboro.

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 2m
49ers pick announced - Marcus Martin, C from USC. Was a late invite here to Radio City Music Hall

Bill Barnwell ‏@billbarnwell 2m
49ers trade down, get an extra pick, draft possibly the best center in the pool. Trent Baalke, man.

Yeah, I am not high on Borland as a Pro, but that Southward pick was speculation, basically.

[Bretsky]

DAM...that was a really nice pick by Minnesota........I would have been happy to have him in GB

Can't have too many D lineman I guess.

[bobblehead]

You guys and 40 times....has Chad Jackson taught you nothing?

+1 Bad/good angles are MUCH more important than 40 times. Part of athletic ability is instinct. I still remember fans bitching about JJones, but being happy we took Clowny 2 rounds later because he ran a 4.4...and don't get me started on aaron rouse.

At Pick NO. 77 the Bad Ass 49ers go to the Wisconsin Badgers :

Chris Borland ILB (5'11" 248).

[smuggler]

Damn... how has Nix lasted this long? This is like what happened to Jesse Williams a year ago. (Or two?)

[pittstang5]

Damn, Brooks to Ravens...he'll do good there.

[Bretsky]

One of the best GM's in the NFL just made a very solid pick. Great instincts as a player and a pass rusher. SF is getting a leader on and off the field. No secret to those around he spent about twice as many hours in the community volunteering his time for good things than any other player. SF knows how to find LB's and I'd take their scouting dept. San Fran just keeps taking smash mouth football players and making the right moves. Jimmy Ward...Carlos Hyde, Chris Borland, and a Marquis Martin. And the rich just keep getting richer.

If their GM and Harbaugh are fighting, I'll take him after TT retires

[Bretsky]

We already have two average ILB's. Don't need another one.

No, we have one average one and one shitty one.

[smuggler]

Jets have to take Moncrief...

HOLY CRAP... Dexter McDougle??

[Brandon494]

NT Louis Nix? NT Daniel McCullers? ILB Christian Jones? CB Rashaad Reynolds? OT Laurent Duvernay-Tardif? OG Gabe Jackson? QB AJ McCarron? DT Deandre Coleman?

[Bretsky]

I'll take Nix here; there are still some safeties but I doubt we go there. Desire and other CB's appealing. Not sure about the LB's left

[woodbuck27]

At Picks NO. 78 and 79:

Thye Washington Redskins (From Cowboys) ... Spencer Long OG (6'5" 320) from Nebraska


and the Baltimore Ravens choose Terrence Brooks a FS (5'11" 198) Florida St.

He has good range and is a very solid acquisition for a team that knows how to draft on "D" "the Baltimore Ravens play "D" very well.

[smuggler]

I prefer DaQuan Jones to any dlineman on that list except a healthy Nix. (Seems to be a big *if*)

[Bretsky]

Jets have to take Moncrief...

Not that surprised he's still here. Would be funny if TT grabbed him as well. BPA ????

No, we have one average one and one shitty one.

thats putting it nicely

No, we have one average one and one shitty one.

Actually we have two shitty ILBs

Slow of foot.

I prefer DaQuan Jones to any dlineman on that list except a healthy Nix. (Seems to be a big *if*)

Didn't realize he was still out here

One marginal one, and one replacement level one.

i would too. i would have been fine taking him in the last round

You are such a homer :)

I think Borland will fizzle out. He is as instinctive as AJ, do we agree? Except he is 3 inches shorter, way shorter arms, significantly slower, etc. AJ is a marginal starter!

I'd take Baalke though. He is a hell of a GM it seems.

[pbmax]

Damn... how has Nix lasted this long? This is like what happened to Jesse Williams a year ago. (Or two?)

Speculation on Internet is that his knee injury is worse than previously known.

[woodbuck27]

The NY Jets cover need and CB with:

Dexter McDougle - CB (5'10" 196) Fr. Maryland and a combine reject but had a decent Pro day.

He's fast ! This is a reach !

[wist43]

Jets have to take Moncrief...

HOLY CRAP... Dexter McDougle??

McDougle is a hell of a player... was hoping we could nab him further down. I guess the Jets thought his shoulder was okay.

[Bretsky]

DANG....I could have seen us taking Gabe Jackson.......

[red]

Speculation on Internet is that his knee injury is worse than previously known.

so he starts the season on the PUP instead of ending it on IR

isn't that an improvement?

[smuggler]

God the Bears are horrible at drafting.

Here's a fella that can now breathe (better) again:

At Pick NO. 83..... The Houston Texans (From Steelers through Browns and Eagles) >>> GO TO Louis Nix III - NT (6'2" 331) From Notre Dame and his lofty 5.9 GRADE.

Win or spin with this one !

Hey .... It's a third round chance...not a First Round Gamble.

Here comes the Packers first third Round pick.... Very very soon.

[KYPack]

You are such a homer :)

I think Borland will fizzle out. He is as instinctive as AJ, do we agree? Except he is 3 inches shorter, way shorter arms, significantly slower, etc. AJ is a marginal starter!

I'd take Baalke though. He is a hell of a GM it seems.

I thought the '13 draft was rated poor.

Reid had a tough year at S and others didn't show much.

There is serious angst btw Hairball and Baalke, fer shure.

daquan jones might be a good fat guy to get

Khyri Thornton DT southern miss

gotta feel nix was the pick

[run pMc]

Khyri Thornton, DT Southern Mississippi

Never heard of him. Supposed to have a good motor.

[Guiness]

6'3" 304 - good starting size, I wonder where he goes from there.

http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/smis/sports/m-footbl/auto_action/8952841.jpeg

Does he have the frame to put on the pounds he'll have to in the Pack's system?

[Brandon494]

BOTTOM LINE Has the size, brute strength and enough agility to warrant interest as a developmental, rotational five-technique in an aggressize, zone-blitzing scheme such as the Jets, Ravens or Steelers. Versatility is a plus.

[Joemailman]

Khyri Thornton
School: Southern Mississippi
Position: DT

Positive: Three-year starter who finished with 39 tackles, and 6.5 tackles for loss as a senior after 36 and 9.5 the prior year. Explosive interior lineman who projects as a 3-technique tackle. Fires off the snap with a terrific first step, plays with good pad level, and easily changes direction. Moves well laterally, chases down the line of scrimmage, and gets outside the box to make plays. Aggressive, fights with his hands from the snap of the ball, and works hard.

Negative: At times easily blocked from the action by a single opponent. Lacks bulk on the inside. Average production in college and a marginal pass rusher.

Analysis: Thornton was a consistent performer at Southern Mississippi and possesses the physical skill and football ability to backup in a four-man line at the next level.

[Brandon494]

Knew we would go DT but not a fan of this pick.

[KYPack]

Tom Oates ‏@TomOatesWSJ 12s
#Packers have selected Khyri Thornton, a defensive tackle from Southern Mississippi. Might be a bit of a reach.

Reach DL from Miss State?

Thought we did that last year?

[pbmax]

Ok, physically seems like a 3 tech in a 4-3. Another one like Worthy, Daniels.

We'll see I guess. Needed a lineman, but probably not an end.

[smuggler]

Gotta be honest, I cannot find reason to be optimistic about Khyri Thornton.

[Bretsky]

hmmmm

d-lineman

Khyri Thornton DT southern miss

gotta feel nix was the pick

yup...gotta think we were thinking Nix would fall to our lap

Kiper and friends thought our pick was ok. immense talent....if he applied himself could be stellar pick. Appears he is very off and on and has some issues

[run pMc]

Khyri Thornton - projected by nfldraftscout to go anywhere from R3 to R6 (with R5 most likely). Feels like a bit of a reach. Strong and quick and will get stronger/bigger as he learns behind Guion/Raji/Boyd.

Cardinals ....Martin, Kareem DE 6'6" 272 North Carolina 5.6

and the Green Bay Packers @ Pick NO. 85 in Rd. 3 go to a DT and:

Khyri Thornton - DT (6'3" 304) Fr. Southern Miss and a 5.1 GRADE.

Comment woodbuck27:

This may be a decent pick and an improvement at the DT position for TT.

I'm hearing a "B" Grade.

OK so IMO TT is right on course.

Next Pick...OG...TE...SS / CB...SS later this round at Pick NO. Rd. 3 Pick NO. 98 or in 13 more picks....soon !

[Bretsky]

Who?

yup......after the Texans got Nix it woud have been an opportune time to trade down

[wist43]

How did we need another lineman?? To stand on the sidelines??

Only need 2 on the field at a time.

[red]

yup...gotta think we were thinking Nix would fall to our lap

Kiper and friends thought our pick was ok. immense talent....if he applied himself could be stellar pick. Appears he is very off and on and has some issues

him and raji should get along

Don't buy the motor thing til we see him. That's the most common charge thrown at any player and its often a mislabel. Someone else's capsule praised his effort.

[woodbuck27]

The Philly Eagles @ Pick NO. 86 ... Go with WR Josh Huff ( 5'11" 206 ) Fr. Oregon and a Grade of 5.2


Next @ Pick NO. 87.... The KC Chiefs Pick Phillip Gaines a CB (6'0" 193) fr. Rice and a 5.2 Grade.

[RashanGary]

I agree. Nothing pops off the charts on this pick. Good athlete. Sounds like he was a good player. But shit, this is a deep draft and the late middle ofmthe 3rd....

Like Red said, this means he'll be a pro bowler.

[Brandon494]

Now I know why we haven't heard anything about this kid...they have only 1 win the past 2 seasons. :shock:

[pbmax]

Jersey Al - ALLGBP ‏@JerseyAlGBP 6m
demonstrates good effort laterally and downfield in pursuit, along with surprising speed for a man his size (5.03 in the 40 at the Combine).

[run pMc]

http://blogs.nfl.com/2014/03/10/khyri-thornton-of-southern-miss-solidifies-draft-stock/

Arms are a little short, if that kind of thing matters to you. (Insert joke here.)

Team captain and 3 year starter, so that's a plus. Like I said, feels like a bit of a reach in R3. Seems like you'd go with less of a developmental guy, but whatever. He's a Packer now, and TT knows more about football than I do. My guess is he's insurance/competition for Boyd and maybe Worthy. I think Raji and Guion are gone after this year, and Jolly and Pickett aren't coming back, so they'll need bodies at DT.

Depth pick. Probably won't be active on Sundays this year.

[red]

i said before the draft that i was tired of throwing high picks at the d-line. thats probably why i'm ticked

[call_me_ishmael]

If he is meant to play NT, why not get this guy? He is huge in every way, and looks reasonably fit fat instead of fat fat.

Daniel McCullers

[Guiness]

I see the guy Harv liked, Cody Latimer went a couple picks after the Packers 2nd round choice, to Denver. It will be interesting to watch how him and Adams develop.

[KYPack]

him and raji should get along

lets hope their periods don't synch up and they start getting on the same hot-cold cycle

Funny, Red.

Bretsky, yer right, short for a 5tech, way too light for the nose.

This is a real wait and see job.

Don't buy the motor thing til we see him. That's the most common charge thrown at any player and its often a mislabel. Someone else's capsule praised his effort.

Mayock said he has a non stop motor.

OK, long week. Good night you fellow nut jobs.

Now that the 2014 Super Bowl is sewn up, time for rest.

[woodbuck27]

Ten more picks and then the Packers day is over and Pick NO. 98.

Cincy Bengals Pick "long Armed" Will Clarke - DE (6'6" 271) Fr. West Virginia and a Grade of 5.1.

[mission]

Now I know why we haven't heard anything about this kid...they have only 1 win the past 2 seasons. :shock:

Absolutely no talent around him

[call_me_ishmael]

I would have preferred either of the FSU guys to play ILB for us.

At Pick NO. 89:

The San Diego Chargers pick Chris Watt an OG - (6'3" 310) - Notre Dame and a very decent grade of 5.4 for a later third Rd. pick.

[wist43]

Raji and the former Vike are on one year deals. Though this guy is not even 6' 3".

Pete Dougherty ‏@PeteDougherty 5m
Thornton is 6-2 5/8, 304, run stopper. Raji and Guion on one-year contracts.

Fat slugs are a dime/dozen.

Even if he can play?? So what... a wasted pick.

Besides, you know he'll just be standing on the sidelines... does anyone doubt this??

[red]

OK, long week. Good night you fellow nut jobs.

Now that the 2014 Super Bowl is sewn up, time for rest.

you're not going anywhere, we're not done yet. we got pick 98

[run pMc]

Raji's numbers for comparison:

Height: 6014
Weight: 337
40 Yrd Dash: 5.12
20 Yrd Dash: 2.93
10 Yrd Dash: 1.69 225 Lb. Bench Reps: 33
Vertical Jump: 32
Broad Jump: 08'07"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.69
3-Cone Drill: 7.90

So Raji is shorter, heavier, slower in the 40 and 20, and 3 Cone.
Thornton is taller, lighter, slower at 10 and the Shuttle, broad jumped farther but less vertical, benched 28 to Raji's 33.

My guess is Thornton puts on 15 pounds of muscle by 2015-16 season and plays DT. Don't see him as a 5-tech but I'm sure they'll try him everywhere in Dom's scheme to find a fit.
I really don't see him being active on Sundays (this year) unless there are lots of injuries or he plays lights out in TC.

[red]

Fire up, Red.

GNite all.

you ain't leaving either

one more pick

bunch of quitters. one shitty pick and you all throw in the towel

Colts get a solid WR IMO:

They Pick a very exciting WR in Donte Moncrief, (6'2" 221) and his 4.40 Second ...40 yard sprint... Mississippi and a very high Grade of 5.9.

[Badgerinmaine]

Bleacher Report mentions Thornton as a sleeper pick; they think he'll be underrated because of how bad So. Miss was lately: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2052384-2014-nfl-drafts-all-sleeper-team/page/9
Though here, too, they call him a possible "middle round gem".

Bruce Ellington is a very nice WR as well

As it turned out,we could have picked a defender in round two and still got Moncrief in the third

[woodbuck27]

Pick NO. 91 in Round Three:

Cardinals (From Saints) Brown, pick John Brown another WR and smallish at (5'10" 179 lbs) from Pittsburg St.

But no elite speed...needs to learn how to run better routes....not elite hands
If you listened to them you'd think dude was a develomental late round pick

The Green Bay Packers (Compensatory selection) GO TE Richard Rodgers - TE (6'4" 257) Fr. California and a 5.2 Grade

He's a good choice and was a former WR and this pick should grade out well.

A 'B' ish Grade will be given here for this TT pick !

I just watched a highlight clip - and the announcers said he had been demoted during the week of practice b/c of poor effort.

[Brandon494]

Just because you haven't heard of these guys don't mean they can't become players. Do some research before you judge, I'm liking both picks now.

[RashanGary]

First two picks look good. Haha it's clinton's dick will play. He's good. The WR will prolly take a year of training. WAC to NFL is a jump. New routes, new techniques..... But he looks like a player.

After that, it goes to a bunch of wait and see. And it only gets worse from here. Coin flips if we're lucky.

[wist43]

Ted might as well have thrown a dart at the wall...

I can see where Rodgers might have some upside, but the Thornton pick was nothing short of a complete waste. Even if he's a decent player, he'll never contribute much, b/c we simply don't play those guys much.

[woodbuck27]

Pick NO. 98:

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/richard-rodgers?id=2543569

TE Richard Rodgers - California Pac-12

[Fosco33]

So - Rodgers to Rodgers for a td? And - Aaron's jersey would be a.rodgers

[Joemailman]

Richard Rodgers
School: California
Position: TE

Positive: Started 11 games in three years. Totals last season included a career-best 39 receptions, 608 yards, and 1 TD when he lined up at receiver. Large, athletic tight end prospect with an undeveloped game. Possesses a quick burst, extends to make catches away from his frame, and displays strong hands. Looks the ball in, takes a pounding but holds onto the throw. Solid route runner, uses his frame to shield away defenders and outmuscles opponents for the ball.

Negative: Worked out poorly at the combine. Does not find the sticks on third down. Displays poor timing and anticipation catching the ball. Rarely asked to block.
Analysis: Despite his poor combine showing, Rogers shows athleticism and is a solid long-term prospect who could be a better pro player than college player.

[Brandon494]

Richard Rodgers TE


STRENGTHS: Lanky athlete who has proven the ability to manipulate his weight to fit his team's offensive scheme. Very good initial quickness for the position, demonstrating the ability to beat defenders upfield with his burst or to gain the advantage while blocking, including on cut-blocks.
Long arms and soft hands. Gathers in passes quickly and secures the football. Good agility and straight-line speed for the position. Good bloodlines. Father is Richard Rodgers, Sr., who is credited for making the call and one of five laterals on "The Play," the famous Cal kick return in 1982 to beat Stanford (and its band). Father now serves as the special teams coordinator for the Carolina Panthers.

WEAKNESSES: Lacks the bulk and strength to hold up as an in-line blocker in the NFL. A bit finesse in his play, relying more on his athleticism than physicality. Gets to the second level quickly but rather than latching on to control opponents, Richard extends his arms and stops his feet, allowing defenders to break free easily from his blocks.

Possesses the ability to make the incredible catch but will drop the occasional easy pass and struggles in traffic. Only asked to run relatively simple quick out and drag routes in Dykes' offense. Only started 11 of 37 games over his collegiate career.

COMPARES TO: Garrett Graham, Houston Texans - Like Graham, Rodgers' value to NFL lies in his sneaky athleticism and soft hands in a Joker or H-back role.
