THe Official 2014 Draft Thread [No Spoilers]

This is a Munch pick as he is from Nashville. I like it.

 

Smart kid, I've watched him play since high school. He's good but he needs to beef up.

 

Ok, TTF, seriously, how is it you knew they liked him a month ago???

 

That's a steal for Green Bay, getting Abberderis could be another Jordy Nelson.

 

Ok well everyone have fun with the last 2 rounds...I have to get going and will unfortunately miss the rest. Hopefully they get some decent depth guys.

 

Awesome call! Art Rooney III himself went to his pro day?

 

Johnson is a guy for Munchak to develop he needs to get stronger though.

 

I really like this idea for our next pick. He looked like superstar against WVU the last couple years.

 

+1 and I bet he ends up be a solid starter down the road.

 

highly rated tackle antonio richardson still on the board. projected 2-3 round by some


[h=3]STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES[/h]STRENGTHS: Combination of size, agility, patience and power. Shocking athleticism for his size. Well-proportioned with broad shoulders, long arms and tree trunks for legs. Richardson shows surprising quickness and balance off the snap in pass protection, sliding quickly left to properly protect the blind side.He latches on with strong hands and rides with the pass rusher before settling, squaring his shoulders and sustaining nicely by playing on the balls of his feet.
WEAKNESSES: Was bull-rushed into the quarterback multiple times in a marquee matchup against Jadeveon Clowney in 2013. Needs to be more technically consistent, as he'll get over-extended off the snap, and will at times stop his feet altogether, when asked to redirect in mirroring counter-moves.
Over-extends at times off the snap and doesn't exhibit consistent patience in pass protection, as he'll often reach to initiate contact when he should first establish his base, and then "catch" his opponent.
Compares To: Erik Williams, ex-Cowboys -- Like Williams, Richardson is a massive offensive tackle with the ability to re-route pass rushers and be a road-grader in the ground game.
--Rob Rang and Derek Stephens (2/3/14)
[h=3]PLAYER OVERVIEW[/h]Nicknamed "Tiny," Richardson is, of course, quite the opposite at a massive 6-6, 332 pounds.Richardson signed with the Volunteers as the top overall prep prospect in Tennessee in 2010. He played in every game as a true freshman but didn't log a single start. As such, it surprised many when then-coach Derek Dooley elected to move steady senior Dallas Thomas inside to left guard in 2012 to hand Richardson the critical role of protecting Tyler Bray's blind side. The gamble on Richardson's potential and Thomas' versatility paid off as each earned Second Team All-SEC honors.
Richardson really opened eyes with an outstanding performance against South Carolina All-American pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney in 2012. While he wasn't as stellar in the rematch in 2013, Richardson still displayed the ability to hold his own against the SEC's top pass rushers while being a force in the ground game.

 

wouldn't mind Deandre coleman at this point.......... surprised he's still around

 

he tested + for weed but sentrel henderson still available

 

brandon coleman 6-6 220 wr from rutgers still available

I'm hoping for A. Richardson, Skov, Mccullers, Hurst, Carson, Henderson

good call on gayle elvis

 

I know most of you are busy watching the draft or keeping track of it at least but has anyone popped over to Steelers.com and watched some of the videos of the pressers? I have only watched Coach Mitchell talk about Tuitt but also about Heyward and McClendon some really interesting stuff.
