Quarterback (2)


Believe it or not, I’m not looking for the best quarterback in the world here. I’m just looking for a good short passer with a good accuracy, timing, and sense rush rating. There are a few guys that I like. Briggs, Taylor, and Harrison obviously look good to me at the top. I also like Bert Mayhem, and I could definitely trade down out of 1(1) to get him and pick up a few extra picks. He has pretty good combines as well. As of right now, I think Mayhem is my top choice. He has good intangibles, good combines, and is better at the shorter stuff. I’m gonna interview him now and see what my scout says about him.


The scout says he’s underrated. Not taking one of the top 3 QB’s could be a risk, but I think I’m gonna go this way. I also liked Carl Ellison as a later pick, but he was very overrated according to my scout.

Running Back (3)


This is one of the most important positions to me. I’d love to have a legitimate feature back, so I’ll definitely take a good look at these guys at the top. Tyrus Torres has great looking bars, and my scout tells me he’s hard to read. This guy has a shot at being my first pick in the draft, I just don’t know if I’m willing to spend the 1(1) on him. I don’t like O.J. Winters bars, but he does have great combines. Bryan McMillan came out very overrated, so I probably won’t go with him.


I also like Kenny Balogh. He came out very underrated and has bars that I like.

Fullback (1)


I like Nicky Whalen at the top, but I don’t know if I can spend a first-day pick on a fullback. I’m gonna have to wait until UDFA time to get one of these guys.

Tight End (7)


So here, I’m probably just looking for a guy who can catch and block for our running back. The first few guys I’ve interviewed were listed as either overrated or very overrated, but Granger was listed as hard to read. I do like him, so he’ll get a serious look if he lasts until the 2nd round.

Wide Receiver (6)


So I think I decided that I’m gonna invest heavily into two dominant WR’s. I figure I can get away with a decent QB if I have great receivers. I interviewed the top 5 players here, as well as Kenyon Shields. Newman, Ciscone, and Reeves came out underrated or very underrated, so my goal is to get 2 of those 3 guys.

Offensive Line (5)


The only top player I interviewed was Steve O’Field. I figure that I’m gonna get a ton of late 1st rounders or early 2nd rounder, so I pretty much just interview guys that I think will be around then and am just hoping for the best. Pass blocking doesn’t mean too much to me right now. I’m just looking for strong run blockers who can stay on the field.


The other 4 players I interviewed:


G Lance Ramos (AS)
T Preston Kohl (AS)
T Les Gustafon (AS)
C Randy Wolfe (HTR)

Defensive End (6)


I’m not impressed at all with this defensive end class. Lot’s of specialist type guys but no real stars. I interviewed 6 guys that looked like they could contribute or had decent combines. Nothing special here.

Defensive Tackle (7)


I feel the same here. No one too special, but a bunch of guys who could contribute.

Linebacker (11)


These guys look pretty good. I interviewed the top 2 ILB’s, and got a HTR and a VU. This is going to be tough, because I have to decide whether I want to spend my top pick on a QB, WR, or LB as of right now. The top OLB’s have great combines but all came out as O or VO.

Cornerback (7)

Hmmm. A few good looking guys here. I doubt I’ll use my top pick on one of these guys but a few look like good late first rounder’s or second rounder’s.

Safety (4)

Well, Kendall Anderson looks dominant, and I love having a great safety to help in run support as well as create turnovers. He has a serious opportunity to get picked first for this team. Lindsay, Ready, and Hines also look really good. Perhaps I’ll make sure I get one of these four guys, and get one of the top 3 WR’s on my short list.
