Coming back around to the Purples, to kick off round 2.
Looking for engine breaking talent again, I’m noticing some other guys I overlooked with the last pick. Kim Tudor has a little skill in a lot of positions, and has a potentially engine breaking combo of speed and power. Hong Langlois has the chance to break the OL logic with his skill and speed.
Kim Tudor is too odd to pass up. The Purples can try him at multiple positions to see what happens.
The Pinks are in a good spot with their board.
All their guys from the last round are still available. The Pinks are a little more strict on the BPA philosophy this time, and take the dominant lineman
Kirk Slade.
Greens are back on the clock.
This is a hard one. I still really want to pick the return specialist Urquhart, but it feels too early. I don’t want to waste my first pick (Speedy WR) by not having any QB talent, but Thurber is another specialist player. I’d be using my top 2 picks on 1-dimensional players. Tolliver could fill both the RB and 2nd DE spot, but he’s not really high-end talent enough to justify the 2nd rounder…? I do really like Dick Klinger’s (hehehe) balance and speed. He’d be a nice LB, backup WR, and KR/ST player. I think he’s going to be around for another round or two, though. Hong Langlois is intriguing because he can do a little bit of everything.
I ‘m going to bet the Reds and Yellows aren’t going to take Thurber, allowing me to wait on the QB. I can’t say the same for Dick Klinger (hehehe). If I take a QB with one of my next 2 picks, that leaves Dick Klinger (hehehe) for a potential 4th round pick. He’ll never make it that far. UGH, WHAT TO DO! I think my best course of action is to take the QB
Rubin Thurber now, and evaluate Dick Klinger in the next round.
Reds are up.
With the first round, the Reds took a dynamic LB/CB speedster. Adding another top-end CB would allow for defensive personnel flexibility. They could play Fishman at LB or CB, depending on the matchup. That sounds pretty sweet. The Reds take
Donnie Viera.
Blues are next.
The Blues took superstar QB Hecker in the first. The top-end offensive talent isn’t really there in the skill positions, but the top OL is still on the board. That seems like a good fit. The Blues take
Ivory Callender
Last pick in the 2nd round, the Yellows
The Yellows have an easy pick here. The 2-way talent of
German Cruse is too hard to pass up. Since they are picking back-to-back, the Yellows follow up with the guy who can play almost anywhere,
Forrest Foltz.
