Overall Boards Thread

Personally I'd rather take DeCastro.

I would seriously soil my pants if Blackmon was there for us and we took him. Dudes a beast

 

One of those 3 will definitely be there and they would represent the BPAs so I would be thrilled with any of them (especially Blackmon . .. think he'll go to a division rival though (tb)

 

It's possible, but I really doubt it. The main reason I don't see it happening is that there aren't many players a team would consider reaching for. Janoris Jenkins won't go that high with his background, Kirkpatrick probably won't have anyone reaching for him, and Brockers' bad combine pushed him down as well. Ingram is the only one I can see jumping up there, but the Panthers probably need two such players since Richardson seems like he'll fall out of the top 10.

 

No one's mentioned Coples. The more I read about this draft, the more I think he may be the best pick at #9. I know there are questions about his effort, but I think he's got the most upside.

Poe is a reach at 9. So is kirkpatrick. No way Panther's take Richardson. I've heard the case for OT and I can buy that but from what I've read the only top 10 guy is Kalil and he'll be gone. Really I think the best overall case at 9 is Coples unless someone like Claiborne or Blackmon falls to 9.

 

So youd draft a mediocre lackadasical DT cause we didnt draft enough of them last year?

 

That's the thing. Why reach for any position since it seems like this draft has 1-8 sure things and we draft 9. I could care less if no one has ever drafted a guard in the top 10. Slide Wharton out to tackle since he is making tackle money (or close to it) and let Otah get well or get gone while putting DeCastro there and enjoy a meat grinder guard to run behind for years.

Of course if Blackmon/Coples are there jump all over them. The rest of the names have risen, dropped so much the last few weeks why not take a great guard or phenomenal WR if their there

 

If you don't know enough to realize that Coples will be a DE in the NFL then you probably shouldn't be posting him.

 

so you're saying size doesn't matter?

if kalil grows his fingernails out, he'll go from good to great.

FYI: Dartavius Pinkston, wide receiver from West South Dakota State has 61-inch arms and a 24-inch inseam. At first blush, one would say he ranks as a "below average" wideout. But what you don't know is he has a 54-inch vertical jump, which more than compensates for his stubby legs. So you see, there are a whole lot of factors to take into consideration when tabulating the so-called importance of "arm length" and whatnot.
