THE draft thread (2013 version)

[red]

Redskins have't picked yet either.

jets up next

they're due to piss off the crowd

maybe they'll take matt barkley

barkley= sanchez IMO

[Smeefers]

Hey, smeefers. . . . Hopefully the Packers get someone bad-ass today, eh?

Dude, I am absolutely clueless who we're going to take. The best thing I got is some OL/DL/RB/S hybrid.

guys an internal bleeder, you don't want one of those guys

Sounds like its the freakest injury ever. Usually only seen in car accidents. Only living guy to ever have this happen to him.

You want a Defensive surprise? Carolina needs a D lineman ...

The farther Sharrif Floyd falls, the better chance Sheldon Richardson starts approaching #Packers territory. Still unlikely, but...

would push Sheldon Richardson to pick 15 or lower. I think the Saints need a guy to play line in 3-4 though.

Packer Report
On Hayden, Packers scout Alonzo Highsmith said this at pro day (re: injury): "It's the most unique injury in the history of the draft."

He falls a little farther I'd advocate the Vikings dropping down and taking him.

Jarvis Jones? ? ? Guy went from being the #1 player in college football after the games were played to slipping now. . . . . . Medical situations are real, but guy is a stud.

They need an OLB evern worse. still some good ones there too.

He is.

[RashanGary]

Nick Collins would be nice. He could play safety and runningback for us

[3irty1]

I think Floyd will go then guys will trade up for star and sheldon. Start a bit of a run.

Jets grab Sheldon Richardson (sheist)


STRENGTHS: Possesses a naturally large frame with proper weight distribution throughout his arms and legs. Has a thick trunk conducive to standing his ground in short-yardage situations.
Is quick off the snap, demonstrating the burst to slip through gaps before trap blocks can be effective. Possesses a short area burst to close and surprising flexibility to adjust and make tackles in space. Shows good balance and recognition against cut blocks. Active hands to handcuff offensive linemen attempting to get into his pads and control, demonstrating a quick, fluid arm-over swim move and good strength to rip free from his opponent.

Excellent vision and recognition to take advantage of his ability to disengage from blocks and put himself in position to make plays, showing the ability to sniff out screens, draws, etc. Athletic and instinctive enough that the Missouri defensive coaches would occasionally drop him back into coverage on zone blitzes.

Showed a terrific motor throughout the 2012 season, often hustling down the line and yards downfield (at times 20 yards+) in pursuit of the ball. Closes quickly and with power, exploding into tackles and showing good hand-eye coordination to strip the ball away. Stepped up his level of play against top competition (Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, Arizona State). Has the size and athleticism of a future Pro Bowl defensive tackle.

WEAKNESSES: Has only had one dominant season at the FBS level (just 13 starts in 24 games) and there is some concern about how motivated he'll remain once he signs a big NFL contract. Has a tendency to stand up out of his stance and lose the leverage battle, occasionally struggling to break free until it's too late in short-yardage situations.

More productive rushing the passer, recognizing the dump-off pass and pursuing from behind with passion than actually getting home for the QB sack (just three sacks in his "dominant" 2012 campaign). Has struggled with academics in the past, resulting in his transferring to a junior college after signing with Missouri as a highly touted prep. Was also suspended for Missouri's final home game of the 2012 season (Syracuse) for violating team rules, reportedly for academics).

Teams had their medical staffs check out Richardson at the Combine, as he underwent shoulder surgery following the 2011 season.

Compares To: Tyson Alualu, DT, Jacksonville Jaguars - If NFL scouts are convinced he'll maintain it once he cashes his first paycheck, the combination of size, athleticism and the high-revving motor Richardson demonstrated this season could lead to a shockingly high grade for Mizzou star, just as it did for Alualu, the surprise No. 10 overall pick of the 2010 draft.

[RashanGary]

12 picks, 2 DT's and one 1 Jarvis Jones remaining.

There goes Sheldon. Jets have NO offense.
