***Official Draft Thread Day THREE***

[Common Sense]

Most rosters are more than 10% 7th rounders and CFAs. There's only 7 rounds in the whole draft, after all.

I was specifically talking about rookies.

I think there's only 10 commercials for the draft

7th rounders, you mean? I think NFL teams average ~5 7th rounders per team on their rosters overall, so, just under 10%. Anything over that is, obviously, above average and not necessarily a good sign.

Here's what some of the Iowa fans are saying about "HItch" as they call him:

I have watched Big Ten football for 35 years and this kid is SOLID guys...not spectacular, but a very good plugger in the middle. Stout, sure tackler and solid kid. Some of the comments about him on this board are so ignorant it's sad. Shameful really....

Mike Davis and Garrett Gilbert are guys I would absolutely love to get at this point in the draft, surprised Davis has lasted this long. I like Jeffcoat but Dallas sources say they have no interest at all. Bailey and Jamea Thomas are there too...

I'd definitely take a shot on Sam too, he's gonna have huge chip on his shoulder, he was extremely productive so why on earth isn't that worth a 6th or 7th round pick?

Cannot believe Rashaad Reynolds the CB from Oregon St is still on the boards.

So what's the biggest knock on Tajh Boyd? Some draft experts had him going in the first round before this last college season.

Okay, let me rephrase. Since most teams only have one or two seventh round picks in a year, I'm talking about any rookies who make a team in the seventh round or later. If you have five or six of them on your roster in a given year, that usually means it's a piss poor roster, not that you magically found the most amazing haul in the history of the NFL.

I wanted to say something but didn't wanna be accused of "looking there"

The thing with Sam is that if he is drafted late, it will always be assumed that it is because he is gay. His combine workout was horrendous - he did less than 20 reps, he nearly ran a 5.0 40 yard dash, was below 10' in the broad jump and his vertical jump was less than 27". Those are the numbers of an unathletic guy. His positional workouts at LB were also poor. He's undersized for DE, and really is not a fit at LB. It would be a great story if he were to succeed and be accepted in the locker room, but if he isn't drafted, there are some reasons other than his sexual orientation.

Who said they'd all make it?

 

[jazzcat22]

Did you know....both Zach Martin and Devin Street were team captains. Just thought I would mention that.

 

[gimmesix]

What would we trade? Third 7ths for a 6th??? What's the point? Go with what we have and pick some 7th rounders who can help this team.

I'm with you. Your just throwing darts at the whole at this point, so the more darts you have, the better shot you have at hitting the bull's-eye.

 

[Plankton]

Damn - Zach Moore was another guy that I really liked as a developmental rush end. Good pick by the Pats.

 

[Mrdude108]

I wouldn't mind getting Boyd, he would be a nice prospect to develop because he's got some too
s and the production in college. Connor Shaw is there too.
