official day 3 of the draft thread

[mraynrand]

I do feel a bit for the QB; he was projected round 2/3 and thought he could be a starter

He's going to sit behind Rodgers forever

2 Point guy?

we still have all three 6th rounders, so we just gave up our 5th and 7th

NFL writeup is not all that flattering, 'Sources Tell Us "Someone will draft him, but I don't think he will ever be a starter. He can't read coverages and struggles to process. It is going to take a few years before he looks like a backup in my opinion. He has a long way to go." -- AFC area scout '

The boxes have been checked. One pick on a TE and the rest is the best athlete/BPA.

I'm not sure there is a TE worthbeans.....got any ?

I'd actually like your ND guy now

Jesse James still available? Other ILBs?

we got a ways to go before we draft again, and we won't be trading up anymore

The QB is in an excellent spot for him. McCarthy is an excellent QB teacher. This guy has a lot of raw talent, but needs to spend a couple years getting his fundamentals down.

Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/brett-hundley?id=2552588

Good luck, Brent!

WHO AM I ??

Had dominant senior season with 19.5 sacks. Selected first-team FCS All-American and Missouri Valley Defensive Player of the Year. Won Buck Buchanon Award (FCS' top defensive player) and selected first-team All-Missouri Valley. In 2013, selected second-team All-Missouri Valley. In 2012, selected honorable mention All-Missouri Valley. Played in 15 games with eight starts as a freshman in 2011. Two-time All-State selection in high school. Rushed for 1,318 yards and had 84 tackles as a senior.


Analysis

Strengths Logged 16.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks in eight games against top 25 opponents. Fires out with forward lean and low pad level. Good hips with low center of gravity. Has ability to bend edge and turn corner abruptly. Plays with strength and isn't easily redirected when he gets to shoulder of tackle. Has quick feet. Frenetic, moving target who is hard to sustain against. Has a linebacker's agility and ability to avoid traffic at his feet. Pursues runners with outstanding angles and never believes he is out of a play. Can set the edge against run and accelerates into ball carriers with a thud.

Weaknesses Played against inferior offensive linemen and often rocked tackles off-balance too easily. Has an average burst to the edge. Struggles to find his way back into rush when he is quick-set. Plays with shorter limbs than scouts like and might be a 3-4 OLB only. Too reliant on "run-and-bend" pass rushing -- needs to increase repertoire. Could become engulfed by NFL linemen if he plays too far inside. Rarely breaks off pass rush at high point to come underneath the tackle.

we really only gave up 7th ???

From the Packers: "The Packers gave their seventh-round pick, No. 247 overall, to the Patriots in the trade."

unless he moves up again...to take another head-scratching pick.

[Bretsky]

I thought we had a 5th comp pick.............did we get jerked on comps again ?

Ben Koyack maybe. Great size, decent athlete. People have been talking about O'Shaughnessy and Saxton as late round sleepers. Both have good enough size, and they are the two most athletic TEs left on the board. Bob was higher on Rory Anderson and Randall Telfer than most of the so-called experts, but both were injured and I don't have any testing numbers for them, so I haven't really looked at them closely.
