2012 Draft - R4-7 Discussion thread

[pensodyssey]

Love the Rainey pick.  If nothing else, it gives AB a chance to focus on wr without the wear and tear of being the primary return guy.

[Brinker]

Wasted pick here. Won't b batch become our 3rd down back?  Plus this guy is made of glass. Lastly most kickoffs are touchbacks.

[TwistedLemon]

Rainey.....eh.   not horrible but so much out there  would rather have seen

[Brinker]

Now 4 picks in the 7th. Throwing darts at a board now. And my mistake I think we gave up a 6th to trade up not a 7th.

Brinker,

Do sleep sucking on lemons or just start when you wake up?

Fucking awful.  Chris Polk on the board and they take Rainey, who was DND after being temporarily kicked off the Gator squad after stalking his GF and sending her this lovely business:

Officer Jesse Bostick said Rainey went to the woman's home and that she talked to him for about 10 minutes, then told him to leave. According to Bostick, Rainey later sent a text to the woman that said "Time to Die (expletive deleted) u and ur."

Time to re-evaluate the Steelers' purported method of drafting character guys.  Rainey channels OJ, but we're OK with that now?  Adams gets dinged at the combine but that's just not quite stupid enough for ya?  OK fine.  Let 'em all play here, fuck it.

Targets?

I would love to see us get some of these guys...

R4

NT Josh Chapman, CB Josh Norman, S Markelle Martin, CB Brandon Boykin, CB Chris Greenwood, RB Chris Polk, RB Robert Turbin, RB Lamar Miller, OT Bobby Massie, WR Chris Givens,  WR Marvin McNutt, WR Greg Childs, WR Joe Adams, OT Brandon Mosley, TE Orson Charles, TE Ladarius Green

R5

NT Hebron Fangupo, QB Kirk Cousins, RB Brandon Bolden, WR Nick Toon, WR Juron Criner, WR Jeff Fuller, G/T Ryan Miller, DE Cam Johnson, DE Billy Winn, DE Marcus Kuhn, TE James Hanna, CB/S DeQuan Menzie, S Ryan Steed, S Johnson Bademosi, S Brandon Hardin, S George Iloka, OLB/ILB Ronnell Lewis, OLB Kourtnei Brown, OLB Josue Ortiz, DE Scott Solomon, DE Ernie Owusu

Sure I missed a few.  Might take Ta'amu if he falls far enough, tho not convinced he's a 3-4 NT.

There HAS to be a medical flag for Polk to have fallen this far.  Has to.  Lots of DL/OLB depth/developmental types.  Some WR yet.  Among fallers, my 4x R7 would be:

1. S. Markelle Martin
2. WR Marvin McNutt
3. DE Billy Wynn
4. OT TOm Compton

[Finnegans Wake]

Grades thus far:

1. DDC A+
2. Smoke Adams A/F
3. Sean Spence B+
4. Ta'amu B
5. OJ Rainey A/F

Some folks are killin' on Spence on other boards due to size, but he's the same damned size as Farrior and, unlike Timmons apparently, is smart enough to call the D.  Ta'amu is said to have gotten less lazy, as is the rep on Adams.  Not sure.  Adams and Rainey both huge boom/bust potential.  Not sure what else Rainey got snagged for but I think, besides the stalking, pot.

"Time to Die"

I guess his new nickname should be "Blade Runner".

I missed that stuff.  Was just basing my opinion on what I saw him do on the field.

[Finnegans Wake]

"Time to Die"

I guess his new nickname should be "Blade Runner".

Nice.

Or to the point:  Roy Batty.
