NFL Draft Day 3

[woodbuck27]

Now it's turning to RB:

38(136) Broncos (Compensatory Selection) Booker, Devontae RB 5'11" 219 Utah 5.7

Mayock had him as the 51st BPA in this draft.

[Patler]

It also appears that TT's happy at the RB position.

Why? Just because he didn't draft an RB?
He has picked four players all at positions of apparent need. He can't draft two at once!

Lowry helps me in the draft contest.

high effort guy who stood out during shrine game week

classic TT pick

[Guiness]

I figured/hoped they'd bring Higbee in as a UDFA.

The knee is troubling. He won't be right for Minicamp.

He may have maneuvered himself right out of the NFL.

I'm surprised he went this high as well, huge character risk, didn't he get a resisting arrest/fleeing the scene charge on top of everything else? That's some bad decision making there.

Maybe injury or character concern that we don't know about?? The bengals took him. I'm guessing it's character.

Mike Mayock says Andrew Billings slide has nothing to do with character or injury concerns just that he's predominantly a 2-down run stuffer

[Guiness]

Martinez is a muscled-*up, throwback linebacker in a league that covets twitch and play speed over throwback traits

So not an ankle bitter?

The operative word was ...........'appears'.

I was simply hoping he would pick at RB Patler.

There is still a few decent ones left on the board...next pick....maybe?

Howard, Jordan RB 6'0" 230 Indiana 6.1

Perkins, Paul RB 5'10" 208 UCLA 5.6

Collins, Alex RB 5'10" 217 Arkansas 5.5

Williams, Jonathan RB 5'11" 220 Arkansas 5.4

Pressley, Jhurell RB 5'10" 206 New Mexico 5.4

Ferguson, Josh RB 5'9" 198 Illinois 5.3

Taylor, Kelvin RB 5'10" 207 Florida 5.3

Johnson, Devon RB 6'0" 238 Marshall 5.3

Two down run stuffer is the same thing some scouts said of Kenny Clark.

[Carolina_Packer]

I'm assuming that the Packers knew more about Dean Lowry than the profile that I just on NFL.com, which made him sound like a 7th rounder. Their board said differently, I guess.

Not really--since Clark had 6 sacks last year and many think he has more pass rush potential than other NTs in this draft.

He was a late riser, and NFL.com generally doesn't update their reports during the draft process. I'm not on my PC, but there were some glowing reports late that had me projecting Lowry to the Packers in the draft contest.

[woodbuck27]

39(137) Packers (Compensatory Selection) Lowry, Dean DE 6'6" 296 Northwestern 5.2

DE ...Dean Lowry ...Northwestern Big Ten .....Grade 5.2

Isn't he a REACH !?

Draft Projection Round 7 or priority free agent

Bottom Line Try-hard player with good size who is always active. While he won’t be considered a pass rushing threat, Lowry’s production was a function of effort and flashes of power and the aforementioned traits and qualities give him a good shot at being drafted and becoming an NFL backup.

OK sorry I just got it :

Weaknesses ** Short arms and small hands prevent him from posting higher win percentage at point of attack

** ' short arms ' makes him a Ted Thompson Guy !



The final picks:

40(138) Browns (Compensatory Selection) Devalve, Seth TE 6'4" 245 Princeton 4.9

41(139) Bills (Compensatory Selection) Jones, Cardale QB 6'5" 253 Ohio St. 5.4

End of ROUND FOUR.

Unfortunately, I really like the Bears draft.
