G.M.O. - 2018 NFL Draft

According to page 1, Green Bay is OTC.

Ah right. I forgot about Tim. Come on Timmy!

 

I'm surprised by this report and not sure I buy it. Possible though, as Taylor Gabriel is likely headed elsewhere and Andre Roberts isn't likely to return either.

Interesting if it's true. Imagine a trio of Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu and Michael Crabtree on the field together.

 

Obviously, your opinion of Crabtree is a lot higher than mine.

 

Random RT intrigue of the day. Bought 3 draft mags (always do, just fun reading for me).

Charting their projections. Just found someone that 2 mags project as 2nd-3rd round. The third mag scouts 35 guys at that position and didn’t even mention him.

Well, our opinion of Taylor Gabriel was a lot higher than Cleveland's. Crabtree would basically be stepping into Gabriel's roster spot. Or maybe the roster spot filled by Aldrick Robinson in 2016. (Our opinion of him was also much higher than Washington's or San Francisco's.)

I'm still not sure I buy into that report though. We have some young, speedy prospects in house that can take that role much cheaper than Crabtree - and quite likely much better as well.

 

Taylor Gabriel was treated the same way by Cleveland (read: Sashi Brown) as was Mitchell Schwartz.

 

Being as cheap as Lyman is a curmudgeon, I can't get myself to pay for draft content, but there are many good people that have through analysis. Just wondering what was the total amount of money you paid for the magazines. Everyone is going to have different evaluations (how good a player is, which traits you prefer) and different valuations (round grades), that is what makes this exercise fun.

 

Crabtree isn't well liked by opposing players, or fans as we've already seen. People just don't like him. I had him on my fantasy team, and he's a TD machine. I've always liked his skills. Great hands...and it appears he's been no stranger to the weight room since his career began. At least I thought he looks noticeably bigger in upper body.

 

I really miss The Drugstore List, named because the guy who put it together was a pharmacist. The thing was a handmade booklet, using standard copier paper with the pages folded and a cardstock cover (glorified construction paper), with staples for the binding.

But it was a surprisingly handy reference of the potential draft picks, and all the info was original rather than regurgitating the TV guys. The pharmacist was very well connected within scouting circles, and apparently Gil Brandt used to invite him into the "war room" during drafts.

 

The Jerry Jones that can actually make football decisions.

 

Steve Wyche is the one that reported it last night. (it was a recorded show)

FWIW, It's being reported today that Crabby is headed to Baltimore to chat with the Ravens...

 

Pick will be up in a couple.

 

Total = $30 CAD or ~$24USD

I should add that it’s easier for me to buy physical mags because while there is good free content online, my current laptop is such a P.O.S. that accessing all that content is too big a headache, due to lengthy loading, page freezing, etc.

 

The Green Bay Packers select: OLB - Ade Aruna, Tulane

 

Chicago is OTC !!!

 

Another guy who's Combine performance put him on my radar...I figured Tim would be on this prospect.

 

Chicago Bears select Mason Cole - OL - Michigan

 

I had him on the short list for all 3 of my franchises starting in the mid 4th.

That's a solid value pick.

 

SEATTLE OTC
