THE draft thread (2013 version)

[Freak Out]

Here's an illuminating tape on Arthur Brown :

His world may just be a bit too crazy.

That song has always annoyed me....it is even more annoying in the video format.

I always thought the God of Hellfire brought me Closet Classics.

Any opinions on the top receivers in this draft? I see the USC (Wood?) guy is thrown around here...and of course saw him tear up the Duck D again but what about Hopkins? If the guy is there at 26 do you take a shot? I know it's not a need but the guy is a freak.

imo woods is overrated. Lee the other SC receiver is better but is coming out next year. My preferences are The LA Tech receiver or the Oregon State receiver.

Quinton Patton Of La Tech. Good size, runs good routes, blocks well downfield. Good but not great speed. Could be a available when the Packers pick n the 2nd round, which is when TT likes to draft his WR's.

I thought the same thing.

I agree... I like Patton best among those guys ranked in that 2nd round range. He would be a nice replacement for Jennings. The more I watched him, the more I figured he'd be TT's pick at 55.

He has a little trouble seperating at the top of his tree, but he makes up for that by using his hands very well in creating some seperation.

I'd rather TT draft defense or running back (Lacy) in the first round, if he wants a receiver he could just draft Tyler Eifert, and line him up at WR when needed.

I like Markus Wheaton in the 3rd round. He's got decent size and has very nice cuts and good speed. If his hands are solid, he could be a sleeper.

yup and comes from a pro style offense.

Teams that have made calls about moving back in draft include PHIL, DET, CLEV, BUFF, MIA. Doing what they should.

Draft this guy. No trouble separating at the top of his tree.





As for drafting certain positions in certain rounds.....GM's are human beings, after all, and possibly Ted is human, too, so I wonder if maybe he's got a little superstition that taking a wide receiver in the second round will pan out for him.

[smuggler]

To be honest, it's probably a bit more of a chicken/egg thing with GB. If we draft any WR with talent, we will most likely make him effective because we have a great QB and our WR position coaching is rock solid.

[Freak Out]

Hell....we should just draft all offense.

[packrulz]

This is kind of a weak draft, maybe because so many juniors have been entering the last few years.
QB grade: D. Possibly no first round picks.
OL grade: B. Some gems, but no sure studs.
WR grade: C. Good size/speed but there are question marks.
TE grade: A. This is the best TE crop in years. Deep.
RB grade: C. Possibly no first round picks.
DL grade: B. Some good ones but questionable health/weight issues.
LB grade: C. Average with off field issues.
S grade: C. Average. No Nick Collins here.
CB grade: C. Some with size/speed but questionable attitude.

Can TT trade the entire draft for picks next year? Wouldn't have to be all to the same team.
