If our secondary wasnt loaded already I'd love Desmond King soon

Id still love him. Hes my draft crush. Just like lost loves Butt

Colts select RB Marlon Mack.

Ya hes a steal for them. I really liked him, he fits the colts really well though

It's possible I watched a bad game of his, I'll admit I'm guilty of not doing my due diligence at times, if I see one really bad game from a guy I won't even bother. That's why I was so low on gareon Conley for so long because I watched mike Williams toast him so badly and stopped watching him lol

Watch Donnel pumphrey vs houston and keep your eye on siragusa. He played left gaurd and was matched up against ed oliver#10 a lot. Oliver was one of the most dominant DL in the entire country as a true freshman. He was a 5 star recruit and i saw him single handedly dominate Louivilles entire offense.

He just seemed goofy and top heavy to me, seemed like he had trouble controlling his motions and he wasn't getting the push I was expecting after reading his scouting reports. I was left quite disappointed. But I'll take another look when I get a chance 

Hes not really top heavy. Hes really well built. The guy has massive arms. Gives us more power up front.

Steelers select QB Joshus Dobbs!  Imagine that!

Guys....I really like Josh Dobbs.....im not very happy about that one

Here's how I might explain his film...

SDSU ran some zone, and he's not really quick enough to play zone on the backside. What I've seen so far shows that he can do playside zone blocking and he punishes people on gap, but the scoop blocking from the backside is a weakness.

Scoop blocking? You mean like a pulling gaurd? I think hes great as a pulling gaurd.

Why are the Patriots being praised for all of those low round drafted and undrafted players? They got half of them from other teams.

Its the job Bellicheck does at finding talent in the NFL that others may not see as valuable. Chris Hogan is a prime example. He was overlooked at Buffalo and never really got a chance

Where do you get the scores?  I thought they were supposed to be confidential.

Lol espn says them but no they are def not confidential. Maybe some are but not all

If you guys watch Nico Siragusa vs Houston. Youll see how good he is especially if you know who #10 DT for Houston is......his name is Ed Oliver and was probably the most dominant freshman in thr FBS last year. He destroyed Louisville 

Just now, PuRock said:

Siragusa seems like a Harbaugh pick.  High character but plays with a nasty side.  

Dont forget hes really really smart player too. 

Just now, BOLDnPurPnBlacK said:

Hmmmm Roberts goes ahead of Butt, Kittle, and Hodges  

 

confused....

Ya Im really surprised Butt, Kittle and Hodges are available. I think the patriots will grab one of them

Could you briefly explain the main differences between power and zone blocking schemes to a noob such as myself?
I believe we (effectively) used power blocking during the super bowl run, and then for some reason decided to ditch it the next season in favor of zone blocking?

Cheers

Power blocking involves a lot of pulling gaurds and tackles. Zone is more like a stretch run. The line kinda slides alomg the line and the running back is supposed to find cut back lanes

Nico had a 31 wonderlic score. Hes really smart and could get alomg with Urchel lol

Just now, The Raven said:

Omg guys I think I'm in love with Siragusa

Ya hes a mover. Just remember Pumphrey broke the all time rushing record.....Siragusa opened a lot of those holes!

Just now, GrimCoconut said:

If we can come away with Desmond King in the 5th then wow! I hope he continues to fall

Amen!

Just now, Underdogsontop! said:

And Dorian Johnson. Wow, they must see something we don't 

Dorian Johnson was gone. Siragusa was a better pick than Asiata

great pick

 

Round 4, pick No. 122 overall: Nico Siragusa, G, San Diego State

Nico Siragusa had a dominant year in both phases of guard play in 2016. Siragusa’s 99.2 pass-blocking efficiency rating ranked No. 2 among guards in the draft class, and his run-block success rate of 93.4 percent also ranked No. 2 among guards in the class. — Jordan Plocher, @PFF_Jordan

 

also had the best combine results of ALL guards

Ya I remember him grading very well at pff. Only issue was level of competition

1 minute ago, Underdogsontop! said:

He looks pretty athletic and his pulling. Asiata was still there?

He was but i like Siragusa more. Remember he opened up plenty of holes for pumphrey who ended up breaking the NCAA rushing yards record. A big part of that record goes to that oline and Siragusa was the best one 

Just now, rossihunter2 said:

Has he played any center?

No hes a LG through and through. This gives us the chance to kick Lewis out to right tackle

Just now, Underdogsontop! said:

He was the best OG left?

I think so. 

Needed that! He was by far the best guy available at a position of need!!!

Yes!!!!!!

So why was Lawson there so long, and why is King still there?

Lawson had a history of serious injuries (hips mostly) and King is like a big slot corner or safety. I think teams are worried about his physical limitations
