Third Round

[Y2Joyce]

New thread seems appropriate.

Steelers just 6 away. As far as I can count. Who's yer pix?!?

[Brinker]

A long way off but if Burfict is there in the 6th, take a chance...another boom or bust pick

Ok I know this comes from the guy that thought Limas Sweed would be great...

[Y2Joyce]

Running back. Linebacker? That NT from BYU?!?

No surprises no alarms and no punters please.

[pensodyssey]

Round three rhymes with RB.

[Y2Joyce]

Surely D. Menzie can beat out Mundy?

[Y2Joyce]

Round three rhymes with RB.

Kodak rhymes with Kodak. -Pitbull (the guy from the commercials)

[Finnegans Wake]

In no special order:

RB Chris Polk, RB Robert Turbin.  Both great values, can take over for Mendy.

OT Bobby Massie.  Can take over for Adams when he punks out.

NT Josh Chapman.

S Markelle Martin.

ILB Sean Spence, ILB James-Michael Johnson.

Buncha WRs, Childs, McNutt, don't have a list together.  Mo Sanu.  Chris Givens.  Juron Criner.

Also don't have a handle on DEs and OLBs.  5-T Brandon Thompson is in.  Ronnell Lewis might be in as an OLB/ILB hybrid, had him later as a pure ILB but could be a swing man.

No QB or TE as yet.

Dait.  Or whatever tf it is he keeps saying in those ads.

[TwistedLemon]

Ill be happy with Martin (S OK St), Chapman (DT Bama) or Samu (WR Rutgers)

[Finnegans Wake]

Sanu is OFF.  Ratties moving up with frothy, almost Santorumlike, purposefulness.

[Y2Joyce]

Shamu gone. For real this time.

[Y2Joyce]

Take Massie. Fuck it.

[Brinker]

Here we go!!!!

[Y2Joyce]

Rihanna We Found Love on in background. Anyone else get drunk and voicemail your friend " can't make the Cubs with your hopelesssss playyyyyy?" in Arizona in the middle of the night.

Blake Lalli. Good times

[leighclay]

Sanu is OFF.  Ratties moving up with frothy, almost Santorumlike, purposefulness.

Let's hope they continue to be as successful as Santorum has been presidentially....

[Y2Joyce]

Lamar Miller?!? Do it

[Finnegans Wake]

Pierce was not the best RB on the board for the Rats to move up for.  Obviously think we're going RB.  If so, make it Polk or Turbin.  Got a feeling about Turbin, but both are very, very good.

Chapman ain't a bad option either.

[Finnegans Wake]

Lamar Miller?!? Do it

Polk and Turbin are BEASTS. 

Miller... well, OK, fast.  Could be worth a swing, sure.

[Brinker]

Hmmmm...not sure how to feel about that pick

[Finnegans Wake]

Good pick.  People will fuss over his size.  Fuck it. 

[Y2Joyce]

Lamar Miller?!? Do it

Polk and Turbin are BEASTS. 

Miller... well, OK, fast.  Could be worth a swing, sure.

You know better than me, man.

Sean Spence!!!!!!!! Fuck yes!!!!! And I hate Miami

[leighclay]

I'm happy with this.
Not that my opinion means much, but......

 

[Brinker]

Spence - Reps at 225 - 12

Weak

[Finnegans Wake]

Quoth the Finny:

Miami OLB Sean Spence[/u], 5’11”, 231#, 4.71, 12 reps, 33 ½” VJ, 9’11” BJ, ranked 82nd, gets flagged for those 12 reps but lifted in Indy with a shoulder bruise and reportedly can lift around 20 reps.  He’s also closer to David Lavonte size than Bobby Wagner or Mychal Kendricks, and sometimes it really is just a matter of 10 or 15#.  But I’m hesitant to disqualify Spence even with all that.  What Spence has is football ability.  His read and react, his nose to sniff out plays and anticipate where the ball is going, plus production and blitzing, all add up to make Spence an intriguing mid-round prospect.  Pittsburgh was well represented at Miami’s pro day, and Spence has to be a guy they were looking at.  Borderline size, speed, but everything else you could want from an ILB has Spence a R3 guy for me.  Spence is exempted from the Carter Rule because his eval is based on football skills, with measurables much less part of the overall grade.

Really, he's about Farrior-sized, great instincts and playmaking.  The best fall-back past Wagner, Kendricks, and Davis.  

DDC:  A+

Adams:  Floor - F, Ceiling - A, so INC.

Spence:  B+, most will say worse, fuck 'em

[Brinker]

So

67.4% chance Adams is a bust
54.3% chance Spence is a bust

[Finnegans Wake]

So

67.4% chance Adams is a bust
54.3% chance Spence is a bust

Not even.

Why so down on Spence?

[raynemaker]

Spence was the best player in a underachieving Miami team. Solid leader who has a knack for the ball. Don't let the strength numbers fool you as he was hurt when the bench press was initially taken. More like a 20 rep guy. More importantly tremendous football instincts.

[Y2Joyce]

Spence was one of the sickest safeties in the country as far as I remember. His instincts to FLY to first read lead them to move him over. Sometimes he over pursues. Very Timmons like. Great upside from what I have seen.

[leighclay]

I know I'm a chick, but seriously, I've been VERY happy with this draft so far.
I may be wrong, but when was the last time THAT happened???
 

And we got a UM kid to boot? Size? They bitched about Troy's size too, IIRC. How's that been working out?

[Brinker]

Scott Shields = Sean Spence?

[jonzr]

They say he has superburb eyeball burst with excellent shoulder to wig ratio.  Great ability to lift his feet and place them properly for running, jumping, leaping, catching, rolling and sneaking.  Innate ability to appear small, be small but then explode with maximum local area penetration.

It was for otis. 

[Brinker]

However- James Harrison 6'0" 242 lbs ---Sean Spence 5'11 1/2" 224 lbs

Would he play ILB or OLB? Maybe SS?

Well, of course....lol

[jonzr]

He's listed on the draft sites as OLB but I bet they're thinking ILB and that's what finny was saying.

[leighclay]

From steelers.com:

Spence is the first Hurricane to record 100 tackles in consecutive seasons (111 in 2010 and 106 in 2011) since 2003 (Jonathan Vilma made 133 stops in 2002 and 127 in 2003)…Is just one of six Hurricanes to ever record 100 tackles at least twice in a career.

But I guess a good penetration can be for everyone!

[raynemaker]

Not sure he could hold up inside. Maybe, OLB or a switch to SS like Carnell Lake.

A lot of back and forth on the topic of penetration.

Stop it.
You guys are getting me a little hot & bothered, what with all this draft analysis.
