I thought this might be a good place to post this year's efforts so we would have one place to check back next year and see how we did. Or, we could comment on each other's drafts.

The positives:Originally posted by Rohirrim View Post
1) Watkins and Pryor are very clean impact prospects -- you had two high picks, and selected wisely with both.
2) Gabe Jackson and Tiny Richardson in the second = a devastating right side of the line. The Rams are gonna run all over people next year.
3) I was late to the Lonnie Ballentine party -- his triangle numbers are mind-blowing, and he's VERY young (doesn't turn 21 until this summer, I believe). Best pick of the 7th round, besides my own.
The negatives:
1) Not much, actually. None of your UDFAs except Meder excite me very much, but if we're quibbling over rookie free agents, you've done a fine job of drafting.Comment

Thanks for your comments. I've done this enough to know to keep my expectations low. I think I did a good job here and got some good picks, but only real time in the NFL will tell. That's the thing I like most about doing this. When the real season starts, I have a much better grasp of who the rookies are and can watch their progress through the season, and into the future. It's especially nice to see one of the UDFAs you believed in go to their first pro bowl years later.Originally posted by BowlenBall View PostThe positives:

Borland, Janis and Pierre-Thomas were on my "want" list. I have a higher opinion of Borland than some on here, but one of my chief criteria has always been, would the guy play even if they didn't pay him? Borland is that kind of player. I should have bid on more RBs.Originally posted by BowlenBall View Post

The positives:Originally posted by Traveler View Post
1) Cornelius "Luke" Lucas is an intriguing prospect -- his arm length may be a record, in fact. He's been essentially ignored by draftniks because he hasn't been able to work out due to injury, but he has a chance to be a starting left tackle in the league with a patient GM and a good O-line coach.
2) Love your UDFA running backs -- if you can get them both to walk the straight and narrow, they've both got big-time potential. Still remember watching James Wilder Sr. play for the Bucs in the 80s, that dude was blood-and-guts on every play and very fun to watch, hopefully the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Ditto for Atkinson on all counts (including the superb bloodlines!)
The negatives:
1) Marcus Roberson has a low ceiling, IMO. Just another guy, really.
2) Ditto Preston Brown -- neither his production nor his measurables move the needle for me. I never watched any of his game tape, though -- is there something you picked up on in film study that I didn't see on paper?Comment

I am really intrigued by Tuitt. I had NO desire to take him, but I am interested in how he does.Originally posted by BowlenBall View Post
Borland I know will be solid but he is a t-rex
Janis was on my short list at WR, great pick!
The middle guys I had no idea about, but I am sure they will be great!Comment

Your trade back philosophy and general moving around at will was fun to watch! Going to be interesting to see how SF aggregrates those picks this year as they already have a great team, it is a wonder how they plan to use all the picks.Comment

Mike Evans is one of my favorite players in this draft. I think he'll be a star.Originally posted by Traveler View PostComment
