Blinkscout pick analysis and total rookie class of 2018
|
|
There was a lot I was nervous about until we made our picks in the 5th round ... after that I was golden.
Round 3 Pick 25 (89) Joseph Noteboom OT I liked him but the collective community had him lower, so he must have aced the interviews and been fun to work with. In my scouting I had him highlighted at the beginning of his junior year because he had the size and looked natural run blocking at OLT, which is rare in the big 12. So when I look at the guys available, and picture where they will be in a year ... going into their second camp, he looks like he could be a starter on either side.
Round 4 Pick 11 (111) Brian Allen C This was going to be my sleeper pick. I like my centers short, angry, and professional. He has all that.
Round 4 Pick 35 (135) John Franklin-myers DE This one was out of left field for me, and then I realized why. We lost power in the Northeast during the combine and I didn't get to see him. I mean we lost power for 4 days. a 6-4 285 4.75 40 is the kind of guy I want to develop for rotational brutality.
The next 4 could have been our entire draft and I would have been fine.
Round 5 Pick 10 (147) Micah Kiser ILB He's a 3rd rounder for me. He's a defense leading intelligent sure tackler with a quick first step. He's been my pick at 111 every mock I made.
Round 5 Pick 23 (160) Ogbonnia Okoronkwo EDGE This is crazy getting him here. If he had gone early 2nd I wouldn't have been surprised. Maybe I missed something obvious about him. I doubt it. I tend to miss on QBs and DTs mostly.
Round 6 Pick 2 (176) John Kelly RB I have "runs angry" in big letters by his name. H'es not crazy fast, but he's really close to Malcolm Brown in how he shows up on the field. He didn't test amazing, but I like his attitude between the snap and the whistle.
Round 6 Pick 18 (192) Jamil Demby G Honestly I think he could have gone much earlier. I really liked his postseason. I don't know how any of last year's backups make our team.
Round 6 Pick 21 (195) Sebastian Joseph DT Who? Totally no idea why on this one. I don't think I had him high enough to mention.
Round 6 Pick 31 (205) Trevon Young EDGE This fella I've seen play really fast and angry. He, if he stays healthy, could really be an asset. I had he and his teammate Hearns much higher than most. I watched a lot of Louisville the past few years.
Round 7 Pick 13 (231) Travin Howard LB Yeah this is a special teamer ... 5-11 211.
Round 7 Pick 26 (244) Justin Lawler DE I can't see how he makes the team with what's in front of him.
UDFA
Likely
Tegray Scales Really a 3rd round pick quality LB ... with elite instincts and pedestrian foot speed. I thought he'd slide, but not OFF the board. I think we'd have to really like Hager for us to keep a player in their last rookie contract year over him.
Chucky Williams I wanted a 4th safety. This seems to be it. He can cover decent and shows up in the box angry.
McKay Murphy Freak athlete son of Dale Murphy the baseball player. 6-4 300 4.81 40 and 41 reps.
Less likely -- like for the PS.
Stephen Mitchell Had some good moments.
Stephen Parker Ive seen him get burned badly and make some good plays.
Dalton Keene Apparently super angry fella, like him for the PS.
Ricky Jeune ... is still one of ours? Big kid that can win contested balls and block stuck on a triple option team.
Codey McElroy TE SE Oklahoma State
bodies
Afolabi Laguda
Laquivonte Gonzales
Tony Perez QB
Then the curious Gardner Webb QB turned RB. Tyrell Maxwelll 6-1 231.
That's what I got. Thanks for playing this year's "wow, that was weird" version of the NFL draft.
I mentioned it in another post ... the Giants looked like they used my board, every pick.
