Pride_of_the_Clyde Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 While we're on the topic, can I recommend the NFL Draft Tracker podcast? The host is a bit of a divet - though I actually like him - but Bucky Brooks is really good. He'll nod you to a few prospects, particularly from the PAC-12, obviously the SEC too and the Big Ten. He's very reasoned and fair. They're based in California and it's quite West Coast concentrated however they have for been almost two years ahead of the rest of media on the slim prospects of Matt Barkley going number one overall. That's despite being fans of SC. What other resources do people use in the run up to the draft? Along with the Cheltenham Festival this is the sports event I really like to study. Absolutely love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride_of_the_Clyde Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Whoever gets Barkley is getting a gem 1 average season does not make him a bad player. I think so too. I think the knock on him is that he's not a great athlete which is the big fad right now. But I think it pays to be counterintuitive in the NFL as with those kinds of quarterbacks now being overvalued, I would be delighted to take a smart pocket passer who can read the defense and be a leader to his team. That's what you're getting with Barkley. That said, and even though I've seen a few SC games and been impressed with him, I think I should probably bow to the knowledge of Brooks on Barkley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde 1877 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Any guys in particular? The lad Patterson who is a wide receiver has been mentioned a good few times. He sounds exciting. The other one would have to be Manti Te'o because of his off-field antics 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't interview well and I think he'll have to blow up the combine to go in the first round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolded are FA's. We won't see Greene, Hilliard, Schilens, Keller or Bryan Thomas back. The rest depends on what we do in the draft. I'd like to keep DeVito but start Coples and keep Slauson but start Ducasse. If we pick up a Guard in the first 2 rounds, I'd let Brandon Moore go. Need to pick up a TE in FA. Idzik said he is going to explore all options when it comes to new players. I'd like to see Fred Davis. Excellent pass catching TE. I don't think we can draft one as that would mean spending a 1st-3rd round pick and they have to come in and start.

Including the ESPN insider ones that cost money to subscribe too He has the Jets as the number 1 pick in his 2014 draft which is fucking ludicrous. He has us taking Eddie Lacy this year in the 2nd. He can't catch for shit and doesn't fit in with our new West Coast Offense. Tyler Wilson and Da'Rick Rogers won't be there for us in the 3rd and 4th respectively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more accurately surely he wouldn't be so much cheaper that you could bring him in and jettison Keller? Keller is one of my favourite players in FA this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have both been in the league since 2008 and Keller has nearly 1000 yards more receiving and 5 more TD passes. Keller has started every year and been a more consistent performer. Davis has played backup to Chirs Cooley and been suspended for failing drugs tests. EDIT: Davis should be cheaper but I expect he stays with the Redskins or get offered a ridiculous amount of money. If they franchise him for the second year running, it will cost them $6.5m. Edited February 10, 2013 by GingerSaint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Keller had a good year this year but I just assumed Davis had a more productive career even though he split time with Cooley. I guess that's what a media persona will do for you and in turn your checkbook when he goes to negotiate a contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
