It's a backup defensive coordinator

I know, but we're like 30 rounds in and it doesn't hurt anyone.

I'll defintiely be back next year

Went with Grasu at this point. He may have similar strengths and weaknesses with Urschel figuring one of them will step it up. Also has experience with Jake Fisher so that's a plus. 

Mount was one of my favorite sleepers last year and was putting it together before going down with injury. As my fifth outside rusher I have no shortage there. 

[ravensdan]

Simon was a guy I was looking at but went with a steady vet in Newman due to other young corners.

Yo @LosT_in_TranSlatioN you know what time it is.

Random question: why'd you say DB coach for Foster? I looked him up and he's essentially been LBs his entire career.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

If BmoreBird22 can take a positional coach can I as well?

Purely because VT is essentially a DB factory. Foster does quite a bit with that front seven and may be one the most creative and aggressive defensive coordinator in the NCAA, but Tech always has outstanding DB's. 

They're always extremely well disciplined, able to play any secondary spot, and often left on an island. I like the versatility and how well coached they are.

And in any case, I just wanted Bud Foster since Tech, so I just slapped a label.

I only did it as a last pick with a coach I thought no one would take. I didn't do it as a serious move.

Well mine isn't supposed to be serious and after this pick I'm dropping out as well

I can't tell you what to do at all, but I don't personally have an issue if they're not a hot commodity

So can we skip you if we're essentially we're waiting for a selection that both isn't serious and is your last of the draft? Seems a bit strange that this is keeping the process waiting.

Screw it.  I'm picking.

He says he's about to make his pick.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Sorry guys I've been busy. The joke pick didn't logically make sense: I took Levine as a third safety since he's done well there in the past. 

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Also sorry for the delay btw. I was at the bank and connected to their internet and tried to send the joke pick but it must've not gone through. My bad guys

I had a three man board for @Archeearl92 and they're not there.

[rmw10]

Let's see what happens with Sio Moore this year.  He was very good before a certain HC (is he gone?) came into Oakland and shipped him off to Indy.  With that awful defense in Indy, you would have thought he would have found his way onto the field there, but that didn't happen.  Apparently he's likely to play a large role for the Colts this year.  Another reclamation project at LB for me.  Hopefully one of Kiko or Sio steps up to the plate.

Let me guess, Bud Foster was one of them?

If bmorebird22 jumped off a bridge would you do it too?

I had Sio on my short list also but opted for Lamur. It seems like he just lacks discipline. It's like a mental thing with him. Which will keep a player on the bench quicker than any other issue it seems.

One? He was all three.

Definitely. His long sack celebration while the clock was still running stands out. Still, willing to take a chance on him this late. 

[Mt. Crushmore]

Picking another WR before I planned due to Stevie Johnson's status. I really liked Malcolm Mitchell as a prospect and I think NE was a great spot for him to land. That continues here as he fits in my NE scheme.

He's on a 4 hour clock
