2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for the Redskins. I want us to get Stanzi and i think it would be worth trading several picks if thats what it takes.

We OWN tomorrow. Starting late in the 4th we will be picking often all day. It will be weird, given Redskins history.

Notice their team doesn't have any "super stars"(minus Brady). It's basically made up of blue collar workers with high character (minus Moss) guys that get the job done. Same with the Steelers.

I disagree about the Stillers. Mendenhall is a monster. Their LB core is downright scary. Polamalu is a beast. Oh, and Rapistberger.

wait are you saying Bellicheck has pics of Goodell, or that he videotapes the pre draft set ups???

I stand corrected. Kerrigans overall Combine numbers are superior to Jordans. So he's a better athlete on paper.

Why the hell are you so in love with a 3-4 DE? They are more plentiful than 3-4 OLBs.

I know, but I'm talking about big name guys. The divas. The mega stars. You don't really see them on those two teams. (besides the QB position) Those guys are blue collar studs that come to work with a lunch box and jack hammer.

Not really good ones.

Hankerson pick made up for the poor reach in round 2. Got alot mid to late 5s tomorrow, hoping we can move up a couple times in the 4 or early 5th. Targets I like QB Stanzi and Todman RB outta UConn.

I think if we're going offensive lineman tomorrow I would hope to see Zach Hurd on their radar.

Zach Hurd, Connecticut, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1277475)

Positives: Has good athleticism and quick feet for his size. Uses his bulk and strength to create lanes as a run blocker. Gets under the pads of defenders and drives them out of the play. Sustains his blocks once he gets leverage on the defender. Kicks out and seal the edge and gets out to pull despite his hulking frame. Engulfs undersized linebackers. Has a strong upper body and uses his arms to sustain blocks in pass protection. Has good balance and recovers well when getting knocked backwards. Shows the ability to cut block. Knocks players to the ground when coming with a full head of steam. Has a quick first step off the snap. Explodes off the line and keeps his pad level low. Prevents quick penetration on running plays. Gets to the second level quickly. Works his way outside and squares up nicely on outside linebackers and cornerbacks.

Negatives: Lacks football instincts, often hitting the wrong target or seeming unsure whom to block. Looks uncomfortable as a pass blocker and tries to attack defenders with his body instead of keeping his balance and engaging them. Tends to catch the defender in pass protection instead of making the first contact. Doesn't keep his legs running when engaged. Fails to stay square at times and can be shed by defenders. Tends to lead with his shoulder rather than engage linemen with his hands. Gets lazy at times and prefers not to block downfield if the play isn't directly in his area. Doesn't take great angles and can fail to keep the defender in front of him.

Per SS some names to keep an eye out for tomorrow: Greg Jones, Greg McElroy, Damien Berry

OMG, we got Hankerson? Shanny must of heard me talking shit;) I hate being at work when the draft is on. Ok, My draft grade just went from C- to B+. It will inch up to a A- If we get a stud O- lineman.
