Painful , NFLFU N.
Bears are having a solid draft so far. I'm not a big fan of Floyd, but I really liked Whitehair and Bullard and both fit big needs for them. And while I'm not as high on Kwiatkoski as some, he's a solid pick in the 4th round and he won't start (they signed Freeman and Trevathan), so should be a solid backup.
Floyd just reminds me of Randy Gregory, but without the off-field concerns. It's hard to be a 230 lb pass rusher in the NFL, no matter how fast you are.
Mock drafting. I suck at it. Ervin goes to the Texans.
From those highlights I can see why you wanted him in G&G Chilli
Saints just took a DT from Canada. Pre draft medical inspection must have shown Billings has a vagina.

And then we had that pathetic and very awkward interview with the OSU wide receiver which (along with a commercial break) meant that the NFL network did absolutely no coverage of our 3rd pick (the Utah State linebacker.)
Sheesh.
The NFL Network is brutal. ESPN is far from perfect, but it is 10 times better than than the NFLFU Network.
I lasted about 10 picks with NFL Network on Friday. Every analyst on there was straight out of the Tim and Eric school of broadcasting.
It would be interesting to see stats on how accurate or inaccurate all these self-proclaimed draft guru's are. Specifically, I'm wondering about Mel "Who the Hell is Kiper" Kiper and NFLnetwork's Mike Mayock. I've been more impressed by Mayock, but then I've never found any data on who is statistically more accurate.
Anyone know????
Bengals picked Billings. Must be some type of character issue. Marvin's specialty.
Beavers.
Then Bush.
Rich Eisen just losing it
Five picks until the Packers go. Booker, Adams and Dixon still available, wouldn't mind any of them in green and gold.
Well, the Packers pick was used on Antonio Morrison.
Does that mean your Morrison Fathead is coming down?
That would be GD, but I don't dislike him.
NFL N still hasn't announced bears pick.
Can the German guy, Moritz, be Ted's TE project for his new TE coach?

Mayok is good. Unfortunately, the rest of the network is pure ****.
All the TEs currently on the roster are projects for the new guy. Need a lot more production/blocking from that group.
Blake Martinez.......must be smart if he went to Stanford. Guess he's in the mix with Barrington and Ryan. Certainly can't hurt to have more guys competing there.
There's your ILB. Great piece by Kramer. Very cool.
Now go get that change of pace pass catching RB, Ted. Or some big slob DL.

Christie thought the dope smoking gas mask OT should have been arrested at the draft. I guess we will cross that bridge soon.
Boris posted:packmon posted:maybe it's just me but Ted is kicking this draft's ass. superb thus far.
No...it's not just you.
TT maximized draft position with what he had. Got the best players on his board. Stole one of the better OT's from the Bears.
Yeah he's doing great as usual. However....
The Titans are building a nice team. Conklin, Derrick Henry, Austin Johnson & Kevin Dodds.
Oh BTW. ...the Ravens have Ronnie Stanley, Kamalei Correa & 5....yes FIVE picks in round 4. Ozzie is doing great too.
Funny thing about the Ravens draft is that Ozzie has picked several guys I thought the Packers might want; they were just picking earlier. Ozzie and TT are on another level.
They just did it again with Kenneth Dixon.
Paul Perkins still there! Guy is crazy good!
I thought that same thing about Ozzie. They wanted one of the CBs we drafted last year, but we snagged it before they did. Ozzie is a good GM.
Blake Martinez
Strengths
Good muscle thickness and one of the most powerful, pound-for-pound players in the program. Has desired temperament to play in the middle. Physical, productive tackler. Downhill linebacker. Business-minded machine against the run, maintaining consistent gap responsibility. Disciplined on back-side squeezing cutback lanes. Stuffs second level leg blocks and keeps gliding down the line. Uses heavy hands at the point of attack. Plays square to line of scrimmage with eyes stuck on runner. Plus balance and keeps his feet. Will dart and dodge past oncoming, second level traffic in lateral pursuit of ball carrier. Improved against the pass from 2014 to 2015. Showed some functional ability in man coverage and is quick to close out throws and limit yards after catch. Offers instant special teams value. Willing worker on "teams" and finds the ball.Weaknesses
Slow twitch with borderline play speed. Must transition from a power mindset to a little more quickness in everything he does. Will need quicker hands to jab and separate to stay clean against NFL linemen. Below average lateral quickness. Won't win many foot races to the perimeter and has little margin for error with his angles. Not athletic enough to recover if he gets hung up on a block for too long. Too easily fooled into vacating his positioning by play-action. Doesn't have reactive athleticism to quickly recover back into his duties after biting on fakes. More of a block occupier than serious threat when blitzing. Average awareness dropping into zone coverage. Situational awareness needs work.Draft Projection
