As beastly as Terron Armstead is supposed to be, considering the Rams need O line help, and considering the Kid has yet to make a pick, I would ask the commish to go with him
-
And I didn't mean the kid hasn't made a pick in the second, but in the entire draft

The Cysko Kid has another couple of hours to make his pick. If he doesn't show up by 11 pm, then we will let your choice stand.

well, the Cowboys have made their pick...
are they on the clock yet?

Armstead, Terron. OT

I'll be on top of it from here on out, guys, sorry. Thanks to calfox for getting the message to me over on the political forum.

Well, the Cowboys need safety help. They are okay for now, with starters, and if not for their defensive interior line getting into their 30's,
they could go with Jonathan Cyprien SS Fla. International. However, they don't have to have a starter at safety.
They do at defensive tackle. So, they draft a big guy who will be even more quick and more a pass rush threat at 330 lbs.
He got serious about his fitness, and the Cowboys can rotate him in on their defensive interior from day one to keep
their 30 somethings dt's fresher.There isn't anybody later who is as good a pick for the Cowboys, and there has been a nice run on DT's already.
I got up early, have farm work to do....@@
So::
*****************************************************
John Jenkins DT8th ratedGeorgia Sr 6-4 3462-3 round gradeANALYSISSTRENGTHS: Built like a Coke machine and is just as difficult to move. Has a wide frame with thick, strong limbs. Good strength and use of leverage (generally) to hold up to double-teams and create a pile. Surprisingly quick off the snap and can split gaps to destroy plays before they've even begun.Good lateral agility, balance to slide laterally in pursuit of the ballcarrier to string out the play while fighting off blockers. Keeps his hands active, showing good effort, strength and technique to battle his ways towards the quarterback.Good bull rusher. Can simply drive opponents backward. Locates the ball well and shows good effort to the flanks. Slips off of blocks to grab on and drag down ballcarriers attempting to slip past him. Very good strength for the drag-down tackle.Versatile. Has lined up virtually all over the Georgia defensive line. Appears to possess long enough arms to potentially play the five-technique role, as well as at nose guard or defensive tackle.WEAKNESSES: Provides little in terms of an interior pass rush. Is simply too wide to not get slowed down while squeezing through tight gaps in the interior line and has only phone booth quickness.Wears down quickly and will need to be substituted often to be fully effective in the NFL. Allows his pad level to rise as he tires, which negates his strength.COMPARES TO: B.J. Raji, NG, Green Bay Packers -- Like the former Boston College standout, Jenkins' mass and strength are the most obvious of his impressive physical characteristics, but surprisingly light feet and willingness to fight through blocks to provide some interior pass rush are attributes which could lead to a steady ascent as the draft approaches.--Rob Rang -
NJRP is on the clock for the Pittsburgh Steelers
-
and the steelers draft a fullback:

-
and the steelers draft... Kordell "Slash" Stewart - QB from Colorado...
-
-
-
NJRP has let his time run out. I will make his pick.
The Steelers choose LB/DE Sam Montgomery LSU
-
Not their biggest need, but if top 25 talent slips to the middle 2nd, there's no doubt the Giants would be all over this one...
The Giants pick... Alex Okafor, DE, Texas
This guy is a beast and the Giants do need somebody to play opposite JPP... next...

With the 50th pick in the draft the Chicago Bears select who they hope to be the successor to Brian Urlacher at MLB:
Kevin Minter ILB LSU
OverviewKevin Minter didn't crack the starting lineup until Kelvin Sheppard was selected in the third round of the 2011 draft. Even then, Minter was barely discussed among LSU's top defensive prospects while playing next to the likes of Tyrann Mathieu, Morris Claiborne, Barkevious Mingo, Sam Montgomery, Eric Reid and Michael Brockers. However, in 2012, Minter stood out and earned consensus first-team All-SEC honors on the way to being named the team's most valuable player along with topping multiple All-American lists. Despite earning a third-round grade from the NFL Draft Advisory Board, the junior felt it was time to test the next level.
Minter started 11 of 14 games in 2011 compiling 61 tackles, 3.5 for loss, and one sack. He added one fumble recovery for a touchdown and a forced fumble. In 2012, Minter took over full-time, starting 13 of 13 games on the way to recording 130 total tackles, 15 going for loss (which led the team), including four sacks. He added five pass breakups, including an interception against Texas A&M, and a forced fumble.
Analysis Strengths Attacks blocks with extension and hand use. Very good feel in trash, subtle moves to weave through bodies and recognize run, gets to the ball carrier before teammates despite starting from the opposite side of the formation. not afraid to make contact with lead blocker between the tackles, keeps outside arm free to scrape off to running back. Takes very good angles and lines. Stops momentum of blockers, rolls into them with an anchor to not lose ground. Finishes off tackles very well. Fights as a blitzer, good motor, attempts to run through or get around contact. Sniffs out screens. When the play is visibly in from of him, the click and close can happen very quickly. Looks very comfortable when using hands to work through blockers. Has just enough speed to undercut blocks and make tackles for loss. Remained on the field in nickel packages. Weaknesses Occasionally overruns misdirection and draw plays, gives up inside shoulder. Lacks desirable range in coverage because of lost ground when forced to open up hips, turn, and run. Fast enough in a straight line, but lateral speed may be a question. Despite good angles, likely won't win a foot race to the edge. Too flat footed on play action and misdirection, but at least that prohibits wasted steps. Does not show the quickness to get to screen as or soon after the ball arrives despite seeing it early on. Sees pass and reacts to it in coverage, but doesn't move any sooner. NFL Comparison Takeo Spikes Bottom Line He might only have one full season int he starting lineup, but Minter was easily the most consistent defender on a very talented LSU defense during the 2012 season. The junior fills lanes with force and takes great angles to work through trash while finishing tackles authoritatively. Some evaluators may have a concern with his lateral speed since Minter seemed to reach running backs with just enough time to spare, not to mention his tendency to lose ground when forced to open his hips and drop in coverage. Minter's toughness against the run, specifically between the tackles, and reliable angles will likely land him in the top 64 picks. -
