2014 NFL Draft

[bloodbrother]

Pack get Abbrederis!

[nate]

Zumwalt goes to the Steelers in the 6th round.  Five Bruins drafted in the first six rounds.

[nando714]

Notre Dame 8 players drafted

[Brandon]

Saw KC got D'Anthony Thomas. Pretty sweet. Watched him a lot at Oregon and he's a burner.

[nate]

He is a Dexter McCluster type

[bloodbrother]

Wanted him or Dri Archer in GB. Should be an excellent returner

[Caralho]

Michael Sam drafted by the Rams late in the 7th round. Good for him, I hope he does well.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Rams take Sam. Resurrect hit song.

Good job, Rams.

[bloodbrother]

Went where he should have. LAte round/UDFA type

Not so sure about this. Dude came out and virtually everybody had him as a mid round pick. By the time the draft rolls around and he barely gets drafted. It's hard for me to give the NFL the benefit of the doubt on this.

Just learned a new fact, the LA Rams in 1946 drafted the first black NFL player Kenny Washington. He went to UCLA and played with Jackie Robinson.

lots of players stock rises/falls throughout the draft process, Once we got to the draft, his stock was mostly 6th-7th rd draft pick

 

He's extremely limited in what he can do. Situational pass rusher who doesn't have good athleticism. It's a tough package to sell to teams.

[Brandon]

Yeah, I like Bill Polians assessment of him, he's essentially a tweener at the NFL level. I thought he may go undrafted, but get picked up in UDFA. I watched him a lot at Mizzou and he has a motor. Polian has him as a one dimensional pass rusher too, but I think he can do more.

 

On a side note, lol@espn for having a reporter posted up at a gay bar in West Hollywood to cover the draft. I really wish sports media would stop eith the tmz shit.

[Chimi]

Put him in a 3-4 defense as an OLB and a big bodied defensive line and he'll do very well.  He's quick off the snap and if his DL can eat up a lot of the blocks, he's going to be successful at getting to the QB.

[nate]

Eh, if he plays OLB the offense knows he is rushing the passer.  3-4 OLB has to be able to drop back into coverage on a TE or RB.  That is the problem with him.  He is a small 4-3 DE with great instincts and speed but at the NFL level those guys get gobbled up by the increase in size/speed of OLs.

[Chimi]

He's a situational rusher, that's for sure. They will have to find the right schemes for him and he definitely won't be an every down player. He's going to a pretty good situation in St Louis. I think they run a 4-3 but Greg Williams is their DC now and he's well known for his blitzing and switching between 4-3 and 3-4 set ups. I think Sam will get an opportunity in some of the 3-4 schemes.

[Chimi]

This was bound to happen...

Case McCoy is being destroyed on twitter right now and he's going with the "my tweet was misunderstood" card. Luckily for him, he plays for Texas where that view is welcomed and accepted.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Is that Texas, home of the zero 2014 NFL draftees? Thought so.

Khalil Mack is now part of the SILVER AND BLACK ATTACK!!!!!!!!

Cowboys got a few UDFA that I think have some great upside.  Then there is L'Damian Washington who they also picked up.  Has a story behind him and would love to see this kid succeed in the NFL.  He's very raw and probably needs a good 2-3 years of development,  but he's playing for something and it's hard to not root for these guys.

yup looks like they did everything they could to not draft him, then goodell realized what a PR nightmare it would be if he got passed up. I wouldn't be surprised if st Louis was "compelled" to draft him.

dude has talent. He was the SEC defensive player of the year. You trying to tell me this dude is a UDFA?

catering to the female demographic. I'm sure some dudes like it as well. I'm not one of them.

tmz already has a sports division. Ya, its as stupid as it sounds

Tim Tebow says, "Sup?"

[Hollyw00d]

if tebow spent less time loving jesus and more time working on his short throws, he might have been decent

 

 

sam won't have that problem, god already hates him.  too late to salvage that relationship
