The 2012 NFL Draft Thread, 4/26 8EST/5PST Vikings are on the clock

He's even stronger than McCoy too.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Open field ability like Shady?

 

[gunna get it]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[dacomeup]

Is Doug Martin that much better than him?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Welp guess I gotta revisit some games then

 

[buc em]

^ Martin's bigger and has more of the look of a traditional 3 down RB. He also doesn't really have much flaws to point out besides not playing against great competition and playing for an already high scoring offense. Only thing that worries me with him is he really wasn't playing much of any NFL talent ever during his career, even though he's been straight dominating the guys he has been playing the past two years.

If I was a known top 5 pick I would want teams thinking I was dumb.

But legitimately as a DB if you think he can understand the concepts then it doesn't matter what he scores on the test.

Isn't it true that as far as reported scores guys who score lower are better DB's.

So many elite teams and elite DB's play man its useless test for them.

Let me tell you though. People with learning disabilities are often more focused because they have to be. I'm not suggesting target these guys higher than normal, but its something as an traditional "intelligent person" you need to consider.

I think the Vikings will pick Alshon up in the 2nd round. Geez, i hope the vikings can trade down with the dolphins to get more picks.

You scored a 400 on your SAT, didn't you?

also what did we change the allotted time to for weekends? i vaguely remember it not being the usual 4 hours
(i figure we can do the weekend from 4PM on friday.. and give 6/7 hours between the 1PM-11PM time period)

and who wants to run it?


these are the rules i pulled from the last mock i could find:

JPZx wrote:

Rules
-Rounds: 4
-Commissioners/GMs get 4 hours to make their pick when they're on the clock from 1PMet-11PMet (MONDAY to THURSDAY). Before/after those hours there is unlimited time.
-WEEKEND(S):
-There will be two strikes for people that miss their picks. The first strike (first miss) is just a warning. If two strikes are achieved, the person will forfeit their GM duties and we will find a replacement.
-For anybody that misses their pick, I will use WaterFootball.com's latest mock draft and make a pick according to who's left on the board and the team's draft needs

You scored a 400 on your SAT, didn't you?

I wouldn't know I never took the SAT 

. Im from the midwest the land of the ACT. I would also bet I could score higher than you hung over and yes I'm being dead serious. No team but the one your drafted to needs to know how intelligent you are. If a team thinks I'm dumb it makes them more liable to make mistakes based on what they think I will do as a dummy. 
Just cause you and I need to be known as being intelligent doesn't mean that its the best thing for a FOOTBALL player to be known as. It makes for great media stories that Andrew Luck is from Stanford and could make a damn good living with is degree. Its damn nice for the Colts to know he could handle the same level of sophistication as they experienced with Manning. Its not the best thing for the beginning of his career that he is one of the smartest QB's in the league.

Its a nice media story that RG3 qualified for a very good law school in Baylor, now Imagine that if for 16- 32 games teams underestimated your intellect? Its no different than playing chess against that arrogant prick that thinks his $*!% don't stink and thinks your beneath him. 9 times out of 10 you wipe the floor with him. Every NFL coach more or less thinks of their concepts on defense and offense in the same manner as that arrogant prick thinks of his chess why not take advantage of it until they smarten up? 

But go ahead and keep playing checkers.
