ABQs In The Real World Draft

[TheCount]

Very nice.

You may also want to look at Xavier Omon for that UFA RB slot.

Parcellsl isn't in control of the draft anymore so want to try that again.

Hilliard is an exceptional blocker and has very good power. His agility numbers are better then those of Payton Hills, considered the #1 prospect at FB in this draft. He runs with power and runs hard all the time. Excellent goal line runner. He's scored 50 TDs during his career at Montana. This man has rushed for over 4000 yards and has a 5.o AYPC. Now, granted, it's DII and not a power confrence but it is still very impressive for a FB IMO. He will need to work on his receiving skills but he has caught 48 passes for 470 yards while at Montana. Great football IQ and a hard worker. Here's the thing that really impressed me about Hilliard. In 729 touches, the guy has zero fumbles.

I'd love to see the team add Hilliard in the late rounds or as an UDFA. The team is going to need a third RB as well and if they could find a guy who could possibly double up as a FB, it would help.

Early in his college career, he split time with Justin Green who was drafted by the Ravens and converted to FB as well.

He did have a pretty major Achilles injury, but he was able to come back and had a good season this year.

Only to take Nick Folk in that very draft.

You never know what will happen in the draft.

They could just be saying that as a smoke screen. They actually may have no intention of taking a WR but one shows up and is their BPA so they take him.

That's IRRELEVANT to what he's saying, he's saying TEAMS LIE about who they want all the time is all, so Parcells NOt being here has NOTHING to do w/ what he is saying and has NOTHING to do with the point AT ALL, so do YOU WANNA TRY AGAIN??????????

I really like this draft. Not just the players but the time put in to do the scouting. Hard work here.

Not only did they take Folk, they took him over Crosby who was the #1 ranked kicker last year, so they obviously had some info on Folk and were looking at him hard.
