"Time to Die"

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

Nice.

Or to the point:  Roy Batty.

I typed that but didn't think anyone would get it!

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.

Sorry to be "sucking lemons" but Farrior is 6'2"

Complete the criminal trifecta and take Burfict in the 7th.

Sorry to be "sucking lemons" but Farrior is 6'2"

There is no fucking way Farrior is 6'2".  I stood inches from him at Latrobe while he was signing for people.  I'm 6'2" and a bit, and I was looking down on him.  Saw the little scar in the middle of his fade.  6'0" max.  Played 230# the last few years, but by the end of the season probably closer to 220#.

Sean Spence is the same damned size as Farrior, has great instincts to make up for 40 times and such, and can call the D.  So shetcher hole.

Toney Clemmons WR Colorado.

[Finnegans Wake]

Totally forgot about Clemons, he was one of our 30 visits and a guy I really liked as a deep sleeper.  Nice pick, 6'2", 210#, 4.36 40 and a 1.47 10.  43-680-8 as a senior on a bad Colorado team, he could add nice speed if Wally departs.  Hard to go nuts over a R7 pick, and he'll need some coaching up for sure, but could be a real nice find.

Chris Polk? Maybe

[Brinker]

Pick is in----
David Paulson TE Oregon

[Brinker]

On Paulson

Positives: Good short-area foot quickness with very good footwork. Good-sized target with determination and toughness to finish plays. Has smooth body control, reliable hands and natural ball skills to adjust to off-target throws and make impressive grabs. Uses his eyes well to track the ball with very good focus. An effort-blocker, showing improved technique Negatives: Has a smallish frame with underwhelming power, lean arms and little muscle definition. Added just over 10 pounds in five years at Oregon and doesn't appear to have spent much time clanging the weights. Tight hips, limited long speed and isn't naturally explosive. Not an in-line blocker with a weak base.

His Name is Robert Paulson
