    The usual explanation of my picks

    Bene Benwikere

    In my opinion a top young cornerback in the league. Can play the outside as well as the slot which is highly valuable in todays NFL.

    He plays the ball very well in the air and is not afraid to be physical with his receivers. Also willing to come up in run support

    Had a hugely promising rookie season, allowing only 1 TD all season

    Ryan Shazier

    Shazier is a freak athlete and plays a very good downhill. He was plagued with injuries during his rookie season, but has a ton of potential. As much as it hurts me to say it(with him being a Steeler) but I think he will develop into a very good starting ILB.

    Also with Richardson and Thornton being top notch run defenders, who will command double teams, Shazier can use his incredible speed to fly to the football and tackle the ball carrier

    I like this line a lot. I would have chosen one other center over lunsley but I wouldn't argue the pick. I like him a lot. Vollmer is a great player and warford as well. Personally I like yours mine and inquis lines the best. I think we are kind of building the same way. I was worried you would grab Franklin with one of your picks.

    Thanks, I like yours aswell.

    I actually played with the thought of taking Franklin over Linsley, while I agree that Franklin is a better player, I thought that C is a more important position and I could get a servicable LG later

    Explanation of my recent picks:

    I love me some Vollmer. I think Vollmer presents the prototypical RT in todays game, long, lean, big-bodied offensive liner who is very good protecting the QB and no stranger to run blocking. Right tackle may not be the most hyped position in todays NFL but I think it is hugely valuable to have a guy of this caliber on their team and in the 7th Round he offered remarkable value

    Corey Linsley, although he may not be known by many, already showed that he can be a great center in his rookie year. I know he played between two very good guards in Lang and Sitton, which propably helped him a ton through his first season, but I would not call that an indicator of an overhyped season for a rookie, in fact I would say it is even more impressive how he handled his first start in the majors against arguably the best defense of past years.

    With Center being a key component of every offensive line I was very happy to land a young and already good Center to mine.

    Overall I think, my OLine now has a very good right side with Linsley-Warford-Vollmer with me hoping to build a very good left side aswell. One wins and loses his battles in the trenches and I think until now I have build a very good foundation.

    I hope I am not biased towards this, but I think I have top 5, or at least top 10 players, at Center, RG and RT

    Yeah the most painful is when they get snagged the last pick before you.

    Tell me. I spent the whole day reading season reviews on Armstead about how he kind of was the only guy who could block on last years Saints OLine and that he has immense potential.

    And 5 minutes after I decided to go Armstead with this pick, Dubs does this to me lol.... tough life

    I was thinking from Cooper's prospective with that one. I think Cooper will ease a quarterback into the role, if it's a rookie, or even be a help, but Cooper himself is probably going to see a stat drop off, as compared to what he'll probably have with Derek Carr in Oakland.

    He definitely is a terrific athlete, but a big worry I have with him is the fact that Monte Kiffin basically always schemed to get him the ball. Whether that was through motions or bunch formations or what ever, Kiffin was almost always trying to get Cooper in open space. I wanna see if he can improve those concentration drops and make the same catches if he's going to be double teamed and facing a lot more big hits.

    Sure, I don't even expect him to put up those crazy stats from college, which propably are unrealistic. But I also I think it speaks volumes about him if in a program like Alabama the playbook is basically written to give you the ball and every defense knew it and couldn't stop it.

    I know the NFL and double coverage is something completely different, but Cooper seems like a hard working guy to me who will eventually get it done, or at least sometimes
