    They have such bias for certain teams they didn’t even mention our last pick but the interrupt a guy in the middle of a sentence to cut to cowboys pick

  2. Phindog's avatar phindog says:

    Tim.. How many 5th rounders are expected to suit up game day. These for the most part are development picks. I’d put his tall as on the practice squad or special teams..

  3. D's avatar D says:

    Waller prewitt artis-payne and Kevin white would be a very nice 5th round

  4. D's avatar D says:

    Felaccio just cum off the board

  5. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    Harrison and Matias must really suck?
    The raiders just picked a OG I’ve never heard of

  6. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    Jamil Douglas “might make most sense for a zone scheme that utilizes athleticism and angles.”

  7. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    Looks the part with broad shoulders, trim middle and good balance. Quick off the snap. Plays with good leverage in pass protection to absorb bull rush, good flexibility and core strength. Slides well laterally and looks to help teammates when not covered up. Flashes a nasty streak, taking defenders to the ground.

    Good mover to and through the second level. Can hit the moving target and readjust beyond the point of attack. Above-average agility.

  8. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Reading Wyo. link above from an NFC West Scout, more than likely looking for a power OG, which we don’t need, so the weaknesses don’t really matter in a ZBS. I don’t agree with them anyways after watching the tape. I think he can start right away, if he comes in and gets to work with the idea he’s going to start.

  9. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    A natural athlete with good feet he fits best inside because of his height, weight and reach.

  10. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    phindog, I’m just saying we already have our 5 WRs and some other guys competing to sneak in and beat out a Matthews like LaRon Byrd who is 6-4 220 – it was reported the coaches liked his progress before he got hurt last year.

  11. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    If they keep dicking around Jay Ajayi will be there in the 5th

    Great all around back!!!!!!!!

  12. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    There goes Jake Ryan

    Ben Heeney still in the board

    Better take our LB soon

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Or not. Do you really expect a 5th rd LB in this draft to jump past who we have? I don’t.

      I know, I know, both Bryan Cox and Zach Thomas were 5th rounders. Good luck with that. LOL

  13. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    Tim
    What you are doing right now! 😉

  14. D's avatar D says:

    Smelter gone

  15. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    There goes the Smelter!

  16. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Imagine
    Actually drafting an OL who is actually projected to play OG in a ZBS instead if the highest ranked OT on the board

    That would be a disaster right…

    😉

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      Which is why we’ve been struggling the last few yrs, our guys didn’t fit the scheme, but this yr the Hickster got rid of all those guys.

  17. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    The linebackers I like all run a 4.6 40 so they can play ST and knock the shit out of some little return man and also cover RB and TE short routes.
    128 Mike Hull, ILB, Penn State 6’ 237
    151 Alani Fua, OLB, BYU 6’5 238 4.59-4.73 40 18 reps (for Special Teams)
    196 Bryce Hager, ILB, Baylor 6’1 234 (4.6 40)
    263 Jeff Luc, ILB, Cincinnati 6’ 251 4.6 40 (for Special Teams)
    465 Quayshawn Neeley, ILB, GaTech 6’ 236 8 INT 4 def TDs

  18. Phindog's avatar phindog says:

    Tim.. If Waller and Byrd can unseat any WR’s on our team I would love it. Competition is great and hopefully we keep the best and cut the rest.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      Why try to replace someone that doesn’t need to be replaced when we have others that need to be replaced?

  19. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Smelter sounds like soemthig that oozes from an orifice

    Pass

  20. olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

    AT LAST AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN!!! – – We need AT LEAST one more O-Line selection in this draft to help plug the other hole at the other guard position. HOPE Benson can work miracles otherwise our O-Line will resemble last December’s O-Line (Tanny shits in his pants!).

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      Billy Turner is our other starter and he’s nasty, no one left on the board will unseat him.

  21. D's avatar D says:

    I def feel we should draft an mlb even if we aren’t expecting we are getting a starter. We are thin there we need depth at minimum

  22. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    OD

    Then likelihood of a 5th round pick being more ready to start next year than Billy Turner is about 1 in 100

    We defiantly don’t need another OG

    • olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

      I’ll take $10 of that action, Piggy. I am telling you RIGHT NOW that if we draft at least 2 O-Linemen today, ONE of them will start at least ONE game in 2015. DO WE HAVE A BET??

      • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

        Nope
        We have a Suicide note from me if it happens

        It would be a stupid move

  23. D's avatar D says:

    Harrison may be a motivational issue guy. I said this more than a month ago, he is this years seantrel. All the talent in the world but no idea if he gives a shit about Hus profession

  24. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    phindog, nobody is cracking the lineup of Landry, Stills, Jennings and Parker. Did we forget we drafted Parker at #14? LOL

  25. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    I know who our 5th rd LB should be. 2014 5th rd pick Jordan Tripp who already has 53 man roster experience.

  26. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    Naples you don’t like Pollard from USC?

  27. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    The safeties I like are all ball hawks so get us some turnovers.
    103 Derron Smith, FS, Fresno State 5’10 200
    124 Cody Prewitt, FS, Ole Miss 6’2 208
    184 Gerod Holliman, FS, Louisville 6’ 218
    and the CBs left I want are
    Ifo and
    155 Charles Gaines, CB, Louisville 5’10 180

  28. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Lol

    Christopher Price

    Shaq Mason’s full name is Shaquille Olajuwon Mason. That is fantastic.

  29. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    I’ll just throw this out there. With our four 5th round picks we go OL, RB, LB and DB.

  30. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    Wyo
    Sir
    wadr
    Here is why I do NOT like Pullard:
    “Lean-muscled with a thin torso and maxed out build. Not a power player and can get eaten up by blocks and lost in a crowd. Needs to finish once he makes contact, throwing his body around but not consistently breaking down properly. Will whiff in the open field at times. Average hand strength, hugging and wrestling to the ground. Questionable cover instincts and often a step late, lacking make-up speed on vertical routes. Too reactionary and not an instigator. Too many undisciplined penalties on his resume, including several facemask and holding calls. Kicked out of 2014 Stanford game for targeting, launching himself upward with his helmet.”

  31. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    plus he is slow and a prima donna

  32. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    Cobb gone. That hurt a bit.

  33. Phindog's avatar phindog says:

    Tim.. I don’t expect any of them to unseat our starting WR’s.. I expect them to upgrade the backups and practice squad WR’s. Isn’t that what you try to do with late rounders ?

  34. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    She farted and I Smelter

  35. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    I would still be happy to draft RB Karlos Williams. I am slightly surprised that Jay Ajayi is still there or did I just miss him being picked?

  36. D's avatar D says:

    Ben heeney gone

  37. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Fuck you Raiders

  38. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    Chris Kouffman @ckparrot
    Jamil Douglas was cleanest, best pure guard play for Miami & best position fit. Other candidates had position and/or desire question marks.

  39. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    I am bummed we missed Blake Bell, but he went too early for us.
    I would like to try CJ Uzomah as a TE.
    Auburn wasted his talents.

    • D's avatar D says:

      Have a feeling he goes undrafted, but I def agree with you that he is better than Auburns offense could show

      • naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

        UDFA for Uzomah works fine for me; he might need a yr on the practice squad anyway.

  40. D's avatar D says:

    Naples derron smith I think is off the board

  41. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    I liked Spaight too!

  42. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Tim

    Jordan Tripp is exactly the reason we need completion at LB

  43. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    There goes Amos 😦

  44. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    OD

    If we draft another OL I will bet you $10 he won’t start over Billy Turner

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      See above

    • Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

      Agreed. He wants to take Douglas in the bet too, which I wouldn’t do. I can see Douglas unseating Dallas Thomas and Turner starting on the other side. Albert, Douglas, Pouncey, Turner, James.

  45. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    I know this sounds like a Kool-Aid suck up homerism, but I honestly think we got exactly the 4 guys so far we wanted. I know they loved Parker more than any other WR and he loves us. I know our DL coach loved his interview with Phillips and Jordan prayed we would take him. And they reached out and took the third rounder so you know they wanted Stills, and this guy Douglas’s profile reads like the perfect ZBS OG.

  46. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    It’s time in the draft where we try to get guys to replace high priced players that may not be retained, DE comes to mind OV will be an FA, Shelby and Wake has a high cap #.

    • D's avatar D says:

      We can draft DE next year and go early. That would be smarter. Safety though definitely needs to be addressed lb too

  47. D's avatar D says:

    Amos gone

  48. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    My prediction for our 4 5ths

    TE
    2 DBs
    LB

  49. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    Well there will be several S to chose from! 🙂

  50. Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

    On deck!!!! I have a good feeling about the 5th round crop. Our analytics program will show it’s worth. I will not be even a little surprised if we glean two starters from the next 4 picks!

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      Starters of the future or this yr? I agree on starters of the future, you should be able to get 2 future starters out of 4 5ths.

  51. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    5th round is the last round where you might expect a guy to contribute this yr, others can, but the odds are so high. There’s still good talent left on the board, guys that can play STs and rotational guys.

  52. Phindog's avatar phindog says:

    We are next..

  53. D's avatar D says:

    As I mentioned before I’d love to see prewitt waller Kevin white and tiwan Jones would be solid.

  54. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    My chart still has Derron Smith available, but there are some skips at the bottom of the 4th. What happened there?

  55. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    Not Mycole! My draft is a shambles without my mycole

  56. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    Did the vikings forfeit pick 143?

  57. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    Smith, Derron FS 5’11” 197 Fresno St. 5.7
    Drummond, Kurtis FS 6’1″ 202 Michigan St. 5.4
    Holliman, Gerod FS 6’2″ 213 Louisville 5.4
    Prewitt, Cody FS 6’2″ 217 Mississippi
    Come on down!

  58. Rhino's avatar Rhino says:

    Tull from Chatanooga maybe?

  59. D's avatar D says:

    There is the CB, they have liked him all along

  60. rgs322's avatar rgs322 says:

    I like the Douglas pick a lot. Now let’s kill the 5th round.

  61. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Did we just draft someone we already have?

  62. Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

    in the mold of Brent Grimes…undersized ballhawk CB.

  63. Rhino's avatar Rhino says:

    now there are more than one McCain on the CB roster… lol

  64. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    Another McCain!

    You can get that Jersey without a number and be pretty safe!

  65. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I mentioned Bobby McCain this morning

    He might not be conch material

    But his name defiantly sounds like something I should sing after playing some harmonica

    (Singing). This is the story of good ole Bobby McCain
    The undersized CB from Memphis
    (Harmonica solo)

  66. Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

    Steve…yes…starters at some point during their rookie contracts. If two of them will be there, then both should be contributing right away on ST, or in backup situations IMHO.

  67. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    But good ole Bobby McCain probably means no Ifo

    (Piggy throws the conch in the ocean)

    Oh well

  68. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    Grimes clone as you say with 12 INTs, 5 returned for TDs and a 20 yd average on return of INTs.

  71. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Oh no another McCain! LOL

  72. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    We will still have at least 2 of the before mentioned S on the board when we pick! 🙂

  73. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

  74. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    McCain also returns kickoffs @ 25 yds a pop. i do want someone to take that off Landry’s plate.

  75. Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

    BOTTOM LINE Undersized slot corner with instincts to anticipate and the twitch and ball skills to do something about it. Much more comfortable processing and attacking from an off position and loses effectiveness when forced to play with his back to the ball. His 19 passes defensed and 11 interceptions over his last 22 starts are indicative of his athleticism and talent to play on the next level but he could be scheme dependent.

    This kid is an athlete. Not super straight line fast, but combine TOP PERFORMER in Broad Jump, 3 Cone, 20 yd shuttle, 60 yd shuttle.

    • Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

      May as well go out on a limb, Steve, I think this kid will be one of the two starters we see coming out of this round.

  76. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

  77. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    McCain is stronger than Grimes with 17 reps of 225 and weighs a muscular 195 lbs.

  78. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    Piggy, a bit surprised about Ifo TBH

  79. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    We have a ton of McCains now

  80. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    The Miami a Dolphins McPAIN defense!!!

  81. Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

    Can he cover?
    In his last 22 starts he had 19 PDs and 11 INTs.

  82. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    lol and the packers found the thinnest woman in Wisconsin to announce the pick

  83. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Hundley to the Pack, let them have him, seems to work for them (grooming QBs for other teams).

  84. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Jahn, good points about McCain’s size and the analytics dept. in this round. We watch how this league works, you need quick twitch corners to cover those quick twitch pain in the ass WRs.

    • Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

      Thanks, I’m excited about this pick. Can’t wait for the next 3!

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        So we have the three McCains now. I guess Bryce gets Br. McCain, Bobby gets B. McCain and Chris gets to be simply McCain McCain. LOL

  85. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

  86. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    We’re doubly on deck

  87. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I’m not buying that McCain is strictly nickel

    • Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

      Me neither. Whos the lock opposite Grimes that he can’t supplant?

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      They say that about all undersized DBS

      But all of our CBs are undersized

      • Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

        It’s counterintuitive, but it seems a viable answer to gigantic WRs is quick twitch undersized CBs. Reminds me of when I played Waterpolo in college. Smaller point players defended the larger holeset players (like a point guard defending a center in basketball) and it worked.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      Who said he was? He’ll be given a shot to start, but Coyle doesn’t start rookies.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        I think Coyle starts who are the most game ready. He’s played plenty of rookies every year.

  88. Jahndoh30's avatar jahndoh says:

    That’s a great pick by the Packers. They know how draft and develop QBs. Rodgers learns from Favre, Hundley learns from Rodgers. Little downside risk.

  89. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    How ’bout the FSU TE here?

  90. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    There goes Tull

  91. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

  92. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    A defensive playmaker, McCain doesn’t look like much and won’t win many foot races in the NFL, but he is quicker than fast with suddenness and body coordination to reside in a receiver’s shadow and make plays on the ball. He is a tough and willing run defender, but undisciplined and missed too many tackles on film.

    A vocal leader with appealing football character, McCain’s on-field production as a cover man (11 interceptions the last 22 games) can be linked to his off-field preparation, working hard in the film to recognize offensive tendencies and run routes better than receivers.

    … has to be kicked out of the film room …

  93. rgs322's avatar rgs322 says:

    You know what I like about this kid McCain. …works hard in the film room. His off-field preparation is very good.

    Did the clock just run out on us ?

  95. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    Did we just time out?

  96. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Before McCain
    All of our other picks were above 6’3
