lol Very true. Fortunately for him, I'd find it immoral and unjust to influence my board based on someone else's. Speaking of which, @Archeearl92 is now OTC.

and did not take any of my guys

[ArsenalRaven666]

Jadar Johnson was on my list but wasnt one of the players I was going to draft, surprised he made it to here.

The other 2 I would have to look up and research

[ArsenalRaven666]

hopefully your player Young.hoe doesnt meet my QB beat.hard or it could get messy

I have to admit, his name made it even more interesting to select him as I wanted to see if his name would be censored or something

Topped it.

I have Weston Steelhammer at safety !!! what a name, hope he hits as hard

[rmw10]

Weston Steelhammer is clearly one of the better names in this draft.

[rmw10]

@jazz1988 is up followed by me.

[ArsenalRaven666]

There are still some draftable players but no point bloating out the squad with players that have no chance sticking around.

Other then Steelhammer all my selections were predicted 5th round picks or above.

[ArsenalRaven666]

Still have 2 players rated under 200 mark

You are now OTC

[rmw10]

Picks will be in within 15-20 minutes, whoever is after me.

[rmw10]

Looks like it's @Archeearl92, @-Truth-, me, and then @jazz1988 for the next round.

Was going to sign Wilson instead of Linwood before changing my mind at the last minute. I wasn't overly fond of Wilson's tape, but the workout numbers jump off the page with a 4.53, 25 reps of 225 lbs and a 39 and 1/2 inch vertical. Definitely wouldn't have made it past me on the second go-around.

In all honesty, I haven't watched much of Wilson.  I took him largely because he's visited 748 teams so far and I keep seeing "special teams standout" next to his name quite often.  Figured that's the type of guy that could make a play for the back of my roster.

Yep, yep. I noted that as well. Rock solid signing at this point and certainly someone who could fight for a final roster spot.

[ArsenalRaven666]

Nice pickup with Travis Rudolph, plus character player.

[rmw10]

Skip comes at 12:50am tonight.  @-Truth- let's rapid fire this if it comes to that (if you don't have his board) because 1am is pretty much my limit nowadays lol

Sounds good. I'll do my best.

With my last 3 picks I am done with UDFA!

and then there were 3

[rmw10]

@jazz1988 OTC

[rmw10]

Hey @Archeearl92 it looks like Reeves-Maybin was taken in the draft.  Thought it was weird that I had missed him.

[rmw10]

@-Truth- is OTC, with @jazz1988 after that, and then me for my final round since I only have 2 open spots left.

[rmw10]

And now that Eastern festivities have concluded, here are my thoughts on my recent picks.

1.  Dieugot Joseph - Needs to add a little bit of weight but the size and mobility is intriguing.  Needs a lot of technique work as well but should be a good PS project.

2.  Noble Nwachukwu - Not much I liked out there at pass rusher, but Noble was my highest rated one left.  He's a bit of a tweener and has never really put up the sack numbers, but he can be a stand up rusher and also put his hand in the dirt.

3.  Treston Decoud - I'm not as high on him as some as a CB, but I like him at S.  Don't think he has the athleticism to stick long term but I think there's enough there for him to project as a cover 2 S.  Worth a shot this late.

4.  DeAngelo Yancey - The tape doesn't look great but there are tons of people saying that the offensive system limited him.  He's another one of those guys who is taking 848 visits so I figured he was worth a shot.

5.  Darrell Daniels - Another all catchy, no blocky TE.  The athleticism is there but he's still raw, so another potential project piece.

6.  Deyshawn Bond - If he had an extra 15 pounds, I think he'd be one of the better Cs in the draft.  He plays with power for a smaller guy, but also has great movement skills.  Of course, his frame looks close to maxed but undersized guys can still make it.
