THE draft thread (2013 version)

[RashanGary]

Capers said it's nice to have someone who can rush outside when Clay moves inside, said this guy can do that.

[Joemailman]

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30- rams take ogletree

31-cowgirls take Travis fredrick

sorry b

Reach of the night. Nice job Jerry.

[RashanGary]

Taller than Cullen, but similar to Cullen that he can move around and play different spots. You like the basketball background, can really move around, almost use him as a big LB at times.

Patterson is a long ways from the type of WR that Ted looks for but for a few months he's been the consensus top WR in the draft. The Vikings got a top 5 guy and two top 15 guys depending on what mock drafts you look at. Not going to stop me from calling him Hershel Patterson to my viking buddies but they certainly aren't fucking around. I'm a fan of their GM's work so far.

DEAR RASTAK

YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO SPEND THE DRAFT DAY WEEKEND IN PACKERRATS ANNUALLY UNTIL YOUR DEATH PM me your email so I can remember to harrass you every year....as well as drop you a few lines.

Nice to see you !!!
Brett

Thanks Bretsky, was an interesting first round. Had fun talking to the mainly knowlegable Packerrats.

[Bretsky]

I too think the Vikes GM is doing a good job

[Carolina_Packer]

Pick and Raji rotate at NT and Datone and Neal rotate at 5 opposite Wilson?

I could see it working out that way. They will likely limit snaps for Pickett now that he's getting up there. They need to create more pressure with their scheme. Clay cannot continue to be the only option to provide consistent pressure. I think the Jones pick will push Neal to get better, assuming health of course. I'm excited for the rest of the draft.

Did cost alot......wtf will they do with MLB?

[RashanGary]

Justin Smith 6'4" 285 (NFL listed weight)
Datone Jones 6'4" 283 (coming out of college)

Capers talked about him being a guy that can move out when Clay moves in, said they like to do that. It definitely seems like he's a player they envision working well with their franchise defensive player. Smith and Smith do that in SF.

Wow, you took such little shit all night long for you to throw in the jab is comical. If any of us went to purplepride we would be roasted without mercy. I think you have it pretty good over here. And I have NO PROBLEM with you. You seem like a great poster. I'm just surprised you are surprised that you are going to get ribbed a little bit over here.

For that price, Patterson better be able to play MLB as well as WR.

Maybe they think Teo will last until the 5th round when they pick again.

Maybe find this years Vontaze Burfict.

[pittstang5]

I like the jones pick. It fills a need and it's not a reach. Jones will be a solid player for the pack

[pbmax]

Yeah. Athletes like Jones, Neal, Wilson, Daniels and Worthy can drop back into passing lanes for legit zone-blitzes again to get Perry/Matthews involved. Less bigger guys for more smaller guys but still bigger overall.

Would mean more base 3-4. Capers talked alot about how they liked his height but it was hard to tell if it was the number of questions or really a point of emphasis for Dom.
