THE draft thread (2013 version)

[smuggler]

In the best of situations, the Packers barely get anything. So why would they get a fourth rounder for either a center who played about two games before he was lost for the year or for a back up QB who (I think) did not play?

Because the formula is based not simply on the games a player played, but also their contract dollar total and years signed. Flynn's departure counts more for the comp pick system than the acquisition of Saturday counts against it for various reasons.

If Flynn had actually started all year, we may have been in line for a 3rd rounder instead, but instead we get the 4th. There's also the possibility that we actually get a 7th also (Pat Lee), but I doubt it.

'Bama Center Jones is having surgery, maybe he'll fall to the Pack in the 2nd round: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/b...sfranc-surgery

The Matt Flynn case serves as an example of why you take the draft pick early IF you can get it; we were all banking on a third for Flynn and something solid for Wells. Now we'll be fortunate to get a Big Mac

According to his and AdamTJ13/Adam12, a player on a multi-year deal on IR counts, so why doesn't Wells count to a pick?

margus hunt was one of the major standouts of the combine

his upside is very intriguing

Can't believe a guy that tall did 38 reps. Tall, lanky guys usually don't do that well. I know combine numbers tend to be overrated by some, but 38 reps and a 4.6 40 is freakish.

both numbers are freakish for a guy that tall. the 40 isvery impressive, i noticed in the game film that he gets out of his stance very fast

he's just missing football awareness and technique, and he's only missing those becase he only started playing the sport 3 years ago.

if he gets a good teacher/coach, he could be a elite player in 2 or 3 years

Got my answer from that website. Saturday cancelled out Wells' comp pick. Not clever.

^Probably my favorite book in 5th grade along with My Side of the Mountain, Johnny Tremain, and Portnoy's Complaint.

I probably wasn't supposed to have read Portnoy's Complaint, but they should have known better than to leave it on the end table.

That is what I was just going to type but you figured it out; now I have to go into the Cullen Jenkins thread and ask for your mea culpa so the curse of Cullen can set this team free !!

jarvis jones just shocked the world today at his pro day

the 245 pound 3-4 OLB ran a horrible 4.9 40

many teams already had questions over his spine, this could force him to free fall. 4.9 is bad for any LB, its really bad for a guy that plays a position that depends on speed

I am pretty sure all the talking heads have told me the most important parts of the combine are the interviews. Jones has publicly stated he is the best player in the draft. He has plenty of confidence and they don't use stopwatches in games.

Therefore Jones should be the #1 pick.
