And into the crapshoot rounds... who will be Mr Irrelevant? Well, in my experience, all my picks 6th round onwards...
Completed draft
1.19 MLB John "Mutt" Lange
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15682Highly volatile beast LB, hopefully a leader. Higher volatility than I'd look for in the first round usually, but the potential reward outweighs the risk in this case.
2.12 RDE Daniel "The missing Beach Boy" Wilson
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15678Generated as a DT, figure his attributes make him a better DE. May switch to left at some point, see how camp goes.
2.13 DT Coy "Humble" Foster
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15877Needs in a number of other places, but this RDE looks a decent run stuffing DT.
3.17 DT Jean "Genie" Thomas/
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15705Vol guarantees he'll either be a good player or a doofus. Hmm'd and ahh'd about the acc and speed but tackling,. pass rush and run defence all seem a good base for him to work from. Looking to get more D line production, especially in rotation, so we'll see what happens - if he booms, makes me feel happy about accepting a cap hit on Tiernan's contract.
3.22 CB "Father" Theodore Quinones
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15643Not an area of immediate need, but his speed should be very useful even if just as a ST contributor. Could well be a CB #4 or 5, cover SS and FS too.
4.15 QB Eugene "King of" DeLeon
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15650Why draft a god awful QB with pass accuracy of 35? Because he's quick, has good ball carrying and can break tackles...
All hail RB Eugene "King of" DeLeon! Shame his kick catching is well non-existent but may try him returning during pre-season.
4.20 WLB Dennis "The Menacing Rick" Shaw
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15621Pacy depth at WLB, a weak area for me; if it doesn't pan out, maybe could become a depth DB so a bit of verstility here.
4.29 TE Donald "Duck" Delacruz
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15772Not great receiving stats, but envisage more as a TE / FB hybrid with a firm focus on blocking.
4.31 P Christopher "Big" Boyd
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15603BOOM! Both what he'll hopefully do plus the sound as he kicks the pigskin.
6.13 RT Allen "Ah did not have sexual relations" Clinton
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15591Low vol means any boom won't elevate beyond ST / possible depth but time will tell. A sensible kinda 6th pick.
6.22 SS Josh "Kill" Gill
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15741If he booms, maybe a backup, ST contributor.
7.22 FS Scott "Chickin" Hicklin
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15796Elite speed so worth a punt with that volatility; see that happens after training camp.
7.21 WR David "Speedy Trav" Travis
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15856Not really looking for a WR but holy ****, speed, decent ball carrying, kick catching. Ok, breaking tackles not great, but give him a shot returning kick pre-season and let's see what happens.
