  • Again, I like many of your ideas in terms of needs in mind Cal. The first round and top of round 2 don't seem bad at all. I'd consider Vandy's OT William Holden in round 5 instead of the WR. He's a 3 year starter that played right and left tackle projecting to be a RT or OG in the NFL. My take on WRs is we have a bunch of them that look like 5th rounders at this point so if we're going to go WR - go up high enough to where you can get a Cooper Kupp or a Zay Jones. They run nice routes, get open and CATCH the ball. I'm thinking our new slot Receiver is going to be Seth DeValve. If Potsy Gordon returns, they may move Coleman there for however long Gordon can pass the piss tests. He's fooled me about 3 or 4 times already so I stopped looking forward to celebrating the 12th of Never.

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

  • Holden is going on day two

    Yeah, living here in Nashville - I've read/seen/heard him going anywhere from round 3 to round 5. I like his body of work and knowing how much they can bulk up that frame the next few years. Exciting prospect.

  • It's maddening - so subjective. I like the idea of Howard falling to 12.

    I hope Howard is there...I don't like taking Trubisky at 12, but like I said,

    if Howard is there, he IS the pick. It's just ridiculous to try to figure out

    what qb and where, later. If it's Garrett/Howard... would it be

    qb with one of the two second round picks? It's crazy.Way too much fun.

  • Took a look... a peek really... at Holden. Only one vid on him from '15 vs. Tennessee.

    OK run blocker on opponent at least shading him. Problematic anticipation if further away. Saw him downfield once crossfield... way late to any possible target. Called for holding on his first reverse seal attempt, but in at least three repeat assignments fared better. Too slow to cut off LB blasting inside to stuff 3rd & short attempt. O-fer the game on 2nd level assignments. Couple well executed cut blocks for which he was called for a chop once, but it was a marginal call as replay showed OG had disengaged prior to contact below the waist.

    Pretty much a liability in PassPro until very late in the game. Early was hopping into position and being driven back by a much smaller Vol DE. Barely got to speed rushes, but did get to nearly every one. QB had to step up on most of them. Starting in Q3 he was getting RB help chipping wide rushers. Fared a little better vs. bigger DE subbed in in 2nd half. In Q3 was still hopping... bigger DE caught him mid-hop and ripped him to ground. Whiffed an inside blitz, part of a jailbreak, on own 2-yard-line that netted TN a safety when QB was buried. Strong tendency to head-dip and engage with pads rather than extend arms... punch was never displayed.

    Very late in the tape, like the last series late, the hop was gone and a step-slide appeared. Don't know if it was fatigued induced or what, but it gave him more control. Maybe something there to work with? I'd be curious to see if he improved in 2016.

    Did get distracted by a couple Vandy RBs... especially #7, Ralph Webb, 5'10 200, who ripped off a nice run up the middle at the 1:20 mark showing acceleration, speed and more than a little power. Had a couple of nice other efforts as well. Apparently he's staying in school.

    Also a couple nice runs by #28, Dallas Rivers... also apparently staying put. not as "electric" as Webb, but maybe more power at 6'1 226.

    Holden is #74...

    those are great, but the problem was, I was distracted, I was watching Cole Hand Luke on TV. I love the part where he says "still shakin, boss" but he was shaking the tree with a long string, while making his getaway.

  • Great mock!

    Couldn't ask for any better IMO. Nailed it.
