  • The TE Allen would be typical TT, he had a good combine.

      AWESOME I love the 8th round I hear we could get a sweet middle relief pitcher there....shyt wrong sport!
      Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

            • Another RB......


              Deshawn Wynn
              RB | (5'10", 232, 4.47) | FLORIDA

              Scouts Grade: 67

              Flags: (D: DURABILITY) Player that can't stay healthy

              Strengths: Possesses prototypical size for an NFL running back. Is thickly built with enough strength to break some tackles when he lowers his shoulder. He runs with good balance and shows the ability to make quick cuts. He is at his best working downhill and between the tackles. Shows good vision and natural instincts as a runner. Is quicker than fast. Shows good agility and body control. Also shows good initial burst to-and-through the line of scrimmage. He has good size and strength to match up at the point of attack in pass pro. He has upside as a blocker if his technique and recognition skills continue to improve. He is a decent weapon as an underneath receiver. He catches the ball well when facing the quarterback and he is tough to bring down once he gets a head of steam after the catch.

              Weaknesses: An underachiever throughout most of his career. Showed flashes of breaking out as a senior but then suffered a knee injury that lingered throughout much of the second half of the 2006 season. He also had a lingering shoulder injury in 2005, so durability is a concern. There are worries regarding maturity level and work ethic. He doesn't always run as hard as he can and he occasionally will opt to run out of bounds instead of lowering his shoulder and taking on the defender. He lacks elusiveness and elite acceleration. He will never be a homerun threat in the NFL and he lacks the explosiveness to consistently turn the corner as an outside runner. His effort can be spotty as a blocker and receiver. He lacks good route running skills and needs much work in that facet of the game. Struggles to adjust to the poorly thrown pass and can look stiff as a receiver.

              Overall: Wynn was redshirted in 2002. In 2003, he played in all 13 games seeing time at running back and on special teams. He finished the year with 540 rushing yards on 115 carries (4.7 average), scored seven touchdowns, and caught 12 passes for 82 yards and one touchdown. In 2004, Wynn played in eight games missing four contests (Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Florida State, Miami) due to a groin injury. He rushed for 217 yards on 58 carries (3.7 average) and five touchdowns and he also caught five passes for 75 yards. In 2005, Wynn missed the opener against Wyoming by apparently committing team violations but was not officially suspended and then played in 11 games, making six starts. He led the Gators with 621 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns on 130 carries (4.8 average) and had 12 receptions for 161 yards and two touchdowns. Wynn appeared in all 14 games in 2006, with 10 starts, and carried the ball 143 times for 699 yards (4.9 average) and six touchdowns and also added six catches for 58 yards.
              Wynn has the size, power and agility to make an impact in the NFL. It looked as if the "light was coming on" early in his senior season but a lingering knee injury prevented him from finally reaching his full potential. There are also red flags regarding his durability, immaturity and work ethic that will cause him to slip in the 2007 draft. Wynn is too much of a risk to draft on the first day but he should come off the board shortly thereafter.

                            Let's say you have a need at TE. Let's say you have one TE rated as a 1st round grade, one TE rated as a 2nd round grade, and then after that you think all of the TEs are pretty much horseshit and you'd rank all of them as 7th round grades, would you want your team to pick a TE in rounds 4, 5, or 6?

                            Seriously. I thought about this before the draft. TE is extremely weak. Olsen is a great receiver, but he can't block. He didn't deserve to be the #16 pick. However, both he and Miller were gone by the second round. After that, none of the TEs can run, and everybody's sleeper TE is short by TE standards.

                            I guess I don't have a problem with not reaching for a TE. Of course, this doesn't explain why Thompson didn't get Eric Johnson or anybody besides what they have. For that, he can be skewered. Hopefully, a TE becomes available. Otherwise, Zac Alcorn and Tory Humphrey better pull a Mark Chmura and be much improved.
                            They have maybe 6 safetys now, they really don't need anymore DB's.


                            So maybe go CB with this pick?
                            Thanks Ted!

                            • Not a bad pick actually....but not really a need. I think they need a TE or a CB.

                              • Morency is a definate.

                                Beach Pope Jackson and Wynn battle it out for the 2 back-up slots.
