Thread: Interesting Mock

http://www.drafttek.com/round12008.html

This DraftTek site uses an interesting spin on determining it's mock and uses value ratios for each pick. Kinda neat.

It gives us:

1-Kenny Phillips, S, Miami (FL)
2-Shawn Crable, OLB, Michigan
4a-Nick Hayden, DT, Wisconsin
4b-Darry Beckwith, ILB, LSU
5a-Pedro Sosa, OG, Rutgers
5b-Allen Patrick, RB, Oklahoma

Has Beckwith declared? If so, I'd love to get him in the 4th.

ACTUALLY...Beckwith said last night he's staying put.

Good call on his part.

I thought Crable was a tweener? Good for a 3-4 OLB. Help me out.

That's what some are saying, but it's not like he can't play in a 4-3.

Shawn Crable 6-5 241 40-Time: 4.65

Strengths:
Has excellent size and a big frame with long arms...Very athletic...Fantastic timed speed...Nice quickness and agility...Strong and powerful...Terrific pass rusher and blitzer...Makes a lot of plays behind the line...Offers some versatility...He does an adequate job in coverage...Still improving and has upside...Had a big senior year.

Weaknesses:
Does not have a great motor...Work ethic has been questioned...Intelligence may be a concern...Slow to read and react...Needs to play with better leverage...Was only a starter for two seasons...Sub par ball skills...Pass rush repertoire is limited.

Notes:
Was a highly-regarded recruit coming out of the prep ranks...He could project to a 4-3 (SAM) or 3-4 scheme...A real interesting prospect with a unique set of physical tools...Presents a rare combination of production and triangle numbers...Talented but may need to be pushed in order to fulfill his potential...May have played out of position in college...His best fit might be a pass rushing outside linebacker in a 3-4.

Sounds like he has great natural ability with no head on his shoulders. I would pass.

I like him, but am not sold on who this draft got for us...more intrigued on how they rate/pick/assess the players overall.

Newest version has us taking:

1-Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
2-Anthony Collins, OT, Kansas
4a-Geno Hayes, OLB, Florida State
4b-Tom Zbikowski, SS, Notre Dame
5a-Spencer Larsen, ILB, Arizona
5b-DaJuan Morgan, FS, NC State...way late for him
7-Adamm Oliver, DE, Georgia Tech

With the exception of Zbikowksi, I owuldn't mind that one

I'm no fan of Tom Z, but in the 4th...I wouldn't be that upset.

Geno Hayes is a criminal, no?

I think his biggest weakness is breaking down and tackling a back with a little wiggle. I saw this first hand at the Michigan-Northwestern game. He's still not bad though.

No way. If we take Balmer at 12, Im going to be breaking stuff.
