ah, the old obscure stat link...well played. how can I possibly argue with the 'innovative stats, intelligent analysis' website? you really cornered me there.
 
i dont understand it so i'm goin to make fun of it.

good job.
 
Stanford offensive tackle Jonathan Martin in Miami, me likey. :teeth
 
The Rams are having a great Draft. A decent DT in the first, then 2nd rounder CB Jenkins, whose really probably the best CB in the draft, and change of pace RB Pead. Two starters and Pead should be play special teams right away and be Jackson's backup. Not bad.
 
lamichael james, holyshit never saw that one coming. electrifying ball player though. guess i'll have to stop hating him now for raeping cal all these years. maybe the plan after gore is to have a swarm of midget rbs.

not even going to bother trying to guess at who the niners might be interested in. they could use a back up olb, back up safety, back up d-lineman, maybe someone to groom at center or as a swing o-tackle if boone wins the rg job. pretty good olb from oklahoma and a big ass samoan nt from washington still left.

nevertheless, my bold prediction for day 3: a cb that no one has ever heard of from an fcs school in rd 7, with only some dark and out of focus youtube video for us to go on.

I still think they'll take Jared Crick from Nebraska to be the next Justin Smith.

he seems like a player, probably would have had a higher grade if he hadn't been injured last season. they need someone to work into the rotation and maybe start eventually.

wouldn't mind seeing crick and the big samoan guy on the team. ricky jean isn't really a nt and ian williams was only active one game, i think. they also need a legit back-up safety besides cj spillman.

on the college rivalry front:

cal might have more guys drafted than stanford. :party marvin jones and guyton would give them 5 draftees. anthony miller, sean cattouse, dj holt, maybe have a shot at getting picked.

stanford has 4. maybe owusu gets picked if teams aren't scared off by the concussions.

if cal does send more guys to the league (again) it just points to the shitty job tedford has done...

hey did you ever see the geto boys "my mind is playing tricks on me" video? fucking midgets are vicious...
 
Clayton calls the Rams one of the winners after 3 rounds...

Winners
1. St. Louis Rams: General manager Les Snead nailed it. His offseason was on trial Friday during the second round. The Rams have spent an offseason angling to find players whom coach Jeff Fisher could play on a team being totally rebuilt. Snead worked trades with the Redskins during the offseason and the Cowboys on Day 1. They entered Friday with three second-round picks. Snead drafted wide receiver Brian Quick, cornerback Janoris Jenkins and running back Isaiah Pead in the second round. Quick is a big receiver who can help quarterback Sam Bradford on routes outside the numbers. If he picks up the offense, he can do for Bradford what Brandon Lloyd offered last season -- become a big, dependable target. Quick might have been taken a little higher than expected, but at least the Rams got a wide receiver. The Rams have needed an explosive backup running back for years. Pead can be a significant upgrade from the backups of the past two years. Last season, the Rams tried Cadillac Williams behind Steven Jackson. This Cadillac had run out of gas. Pead comes to the Rams with a full tank and plenty of elusiveness. The selection of cornerback Trumaine Johnson in the third round capped the first two days of the draft. The Rams seemingly had more cornerback injuries than they scored points last season. Now, they have Cortland Finnegan, Jenkins and Johnson. First-round pick Michael Brockers will help disrupt quarterbacks and running plays at the line of scrimmage.

And he calls the 9ers one of the Losers.....:laughing

Losers

2. San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers drew criticism in the first round when they took wide receiver A.J. Jenkins, who wasn't a first-round pick on some teams' boards. The selection of running back LaMichael James in the second round was even more puzzling. How many running backs do the 49ers need? They have Frank Gore, one of the more dependable backs in the league. Gore might be wearing out, but he's still good. Kendall Hunter is a good inside runner. They added free-agent Brandon Jacobs for short-yardage and goal line. James might be a good fit as a third-down back. The 49ers average 31 carries a game. Unless they are running off Gore, they'd need 40 carries a game to keep this group happy. The 49ers are overdoing it at running back.

You owe the Jaguars a beer for drafting Cal's *punter* in the 3rd freaking round. :laughing

Freakin' stoked about the draft so far, 5 picks in the first 105 is a great way to rebuild a struggling team like Miami. But Niners, plz take a CB. Or two.

Steelers got that Hurricanes LB everybody liked. How do the Steelers always get a good LB?

Looks like the Raiders are about to draft...QB Matt Leinart! :wow

cause I think gore is way overrated, not actually that dependable, and not a really threatening weapon.
 
woke up. went to look for niners picks since the James one.

me, "hrm.. i know they had a pick in this round." scroll..... scroll...... scroll..... scroll scroll scrollscrollscrollscrollscrooooooooolllllllll "WTF!"

Fins moved up by trading with Niners to take....the fastest MF'ing RB in the draft. Thanks Niners! :laughing

But how did a supposedly late 1st-rd RB fall all the way to the 4th rd? The RB position just doesn't have the hype and glamour of yesteryear.

Welcome to Miami, fastest RB kid. Oh wait you're a Hurricane, already home, as you were. :teeth
