2019 Board Mock: Day 3 - Rounds 4 and 5
-
The Tennessee Titans select Daylon Mack DT TX A&M
-
Buffalo goes for a little depth: Chase Hansen OLB Utah - former Parade All-America as an all purpose player. Former Mr. Utah Football HS player. Excellent athlete first team PAC-12 as a rover position LB first in the PAC-12 and 5th in the nation for Tackles for loss at 22 in 2018. Little known due to far west area that often gets under-covered by TV. But one draft rater has him as the 71st overall best player regardless of position. He can run and tackle in open space and fast enough to get into opposing backfields or cover TEs. He is one I plan to follow in the draft and afterwards. A lot of potential there.
PM sent to Nero on eastern Spain time so he will likely respond relatively soon since it is 530 am there now.
-
Nothing like waking up to hate your american friends... What a run you guys put up... Bastards.
I had to lose 40 mins of my precious prework time so I could get this done, so my turn was done before you guys woke up... I'm too kind.
The Baltimore Ravens select Ryan Finley, QB NC State
The Seattle Seahawks select Mike Bell, S Fresno State
PM sent to next GMs.
Keep sleeping, sweethearts. Keep sleeping.
-
Shoulda kept sleeping, but woke up a little after 0400... of course I fell asleep on the couch around 2000 last nite... so 8 is enough.
So is it time for Tour's secret OT? Other Texans' needs combined with no one having come close to sniffing out my guy make me think I might get by going another round, but since he's also the highest graded player remaining on my board... why mess around and risk someone else getting lucky?
You Ohio guys are going to be so embarrassed...
So without further adue with the 23rd pick in Round 5 of the 2019 BBMD, the Houston Texans select:
Joe Lowery (OT - THE Ohio University Bobcats)
This was a PFF "find". Paging through their draft work among the "who's he?" prospects Joe's spider chart (see below) jumped out and stopped me cold. Little more digging turned up some Pro Day-ish type measurements... 6'7... 310#... runs a sub-5.20 second 40... a lot more digging produced a little tape... still raw, still "grabby", but moldable with the requisite Tour2ma feet.
Not "plug'n'play"... going to struggle some with the leap to the NFL's competition level, but in the end I like his changes of developing into a long-term starter at RT, if not LT... and that made him my OT Sleeper for 2019 (Annual list to be published after our Draft... or at least my picks... are complete)... and that ain't bad for a late, Round 5 kid.

Tours OT pick sounds Doug Free-ish.

I know it's a workday but it's been 11 hours since the last pick...
Guys, this is why we push proxies.
Woody, not to make an example of you (but even if I were to, I know you could more than handle it), a look at the thread as early as 0230 EDT would have shown you that you were within 2 picks of being OTC.. That's prime territory for proxying.
This late in the draft the odds of having your eyes on the same prospect as three or four or five GMs ahead of you are long. So a simple primary choice plus a single alternative should more than suffice.
And somewhere in the pack of picks that follow you are at least one of the folks that are around here a lot... me, darren, Ag..
So... proxies... know 'em... love 'em... USE THEM!

... just like the real draft.
And that's how we are going from now on...
When someone is long overdue... as comeon is now becoming... I will set a time for the next selector to go and the round begins skipping the tardy party or parties.
When the tardy shows they can pick, but all those who have taken since the restart are off the board to them... even if they were simultaneously posting with the next line jumper for the same prospect and miss out by a nanosecond. In other words first post up gets the prospect.
The time I set will vary depending on time of day... In other words we'll wait longer during work hours M-F and overnite stateside.
At some point I/we will have to step in and make a pick for the MIA (Missing in Action) GM... but when???
- Maybe end of a round, but if we were already near the end that's not right to do.
- Maybe after 24 hours of MIA...
- Maybe after a certain number of picks? e.g., 16 a//k/a half a "normal round"...
We'll figure that out on the fly.
So in our current case I'll post Nero's proxies, unless he's back online to do so, at 1900 EDT... that's 7 PM on the east coast for the mathematically challeged non-vets... 6 PM Central...
No idea about Castillo time...
EDIT: My phone alarm is set for 1755 CDT... that's... aw you do the math...

Woody has until 1920 EDT (1820 CDT) to post his picks. I will post my picks at that time and the round will roll on per my earlier post.

Why 1920??? It will have been a full twelve hours (plud 3 minutes change) since gumby's stateside pick and I will be going out for the evening at half past.
