2012 NFL Draft Thread.

Oh, there's no doubt that the Rams will take either Blackmon or Jeffrey, depending who is on the board. I agree with Yanks. They are lacking a stud in the passing game for Bradford to rely on when he drops back.

I hope that if BB decides to keep both 1sts this year, he doesnt draft anyone on offense

WE NEED DEFENSE

Rams will take an OT.. Jason Smith is a bust.. They need Oline more than anything.

Yankees2772 · Oct 12, 2011

lmao so they'll take a RT before they take a WR? High in the first fucking round too?

Take your fucking homer glasses off, the Rams will take a WR. Have you watched a Rams game? See how many drops they get? (assuming a WR is even open)

People are apparently souring on Alshon.

Hurricane Season · Oct 12, 2011

For the record, Saffold is terrible too.

TTN2810 · Oct 12, 2011

Agreed.
They would probably take a LT and I guess have Saffold and Smith battle for the other side. Bad vs. Bad right there.

Jake, you must be high on Lamar Miller correct?

Hurricane Season · Oct 12, 2011

If we can consistently see the Ohio State and Virginia Tech version of Lamar Miller, then absolutely. He had been running pretty soft, and kind of avoiding contact during the Bethune Cookman and KState games. He had a shoulder injury, so until proven otherwise, I'll chalk it up to that.

There's really no doubt that he's a playmaker. He can burn you from just about anywhere on the field.

TTN2810 · Oct 12, 2011

He looks to me to be the perfect mix of Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson. He's got the physicality and the outstanding break away speed. Still gotta watch him more though. I like what I see so far though. Really good looking prospect.

Whoa there buddy..

TTN2810 · Oct 12, 2011

I'm not saying he's as good as them lol.
But he has the specific traits that make them what they are. He looks like he has it all.
But again, not saying he is or will be as good as those two guys.

Hurricane Season · Oct 12, 2011

Two glaring weaknesses in his game are his blocking and receiving abilities.

Yankees2772 · Oct 12, 2011

So he'll never see the field in the NFL if that doesn't change.

Welp.. You're the fucking retard now.

Rams drafted Jason Smith #2 overall to be a RT.

They'd draft a LT this time and switch Saffold to RT.

Smart guy. How about next time, you let one of your pledges look you up some facts.

LMFAO.
You're going to keep a home run threat, on any play, on the sideline because he's weak at blocking or receiving? You do know they have coaches to work on these things, right? Even so, maybe he won't be an every down back for the first year or two, or maybe at all. That is pretty rare now days.

Hurricane Season · Oct 12, 2011

I should clarify that and say he's not put in place to be a receiving threat out of the backfield. Miami's offense hasn't really utilized the running backs in the passing game. He's shown that he can catch a football, but he hasn't consistently been required to. He has something like 18 receptions in his career.

Blocking is indeed a work in progress, however. He's somewhat adequate at blitz pickups, but he's not an aggressive blocker that is going to stick his nose in there like a Portis or MJD. It's an area for improvement.

TTN2810 · Oct 12, 2011

And even if a back with ability like his isn't a great natural receiver, a simple screen pass can do wonders.

Hurricane Season · Oct 13, 2011

Thoughts on Russell Wilson as an NFL prospect?

From what I understand, size is the main knock on him.

Elite · Oct 13, 2011

Don't know what to make of him as an NFL QB, but I still can't believe he was only a 2-Star recruit coming out of high school.

5th-6th round pick, similar to Troy Smith.
