I'm taking more SEC guys than I would like to, but I'll tae Sebastian Larue, WR aTm. He's fast.
There's a temptation to go with best available player every round, which is what I do in the first five, but at this point I'm trying to round out my team by picking relatively evenly by position. I think Larue is one of the better WRs available at this point, and since I missed on a couple of guys I wanted at skill positions, I'm aiming for some speedy guys now with high upside (but a low floor). I think Larue is one of those guys. He could be the next Percy Harvin... or the next Russell Shepard. He doesn't have great hands, but he's got intense speed and is very elusive with the ball.

jembeurt selects Randy Gregory, DE/OLB Nebraska
After all of my LB picks were sniped, I started looking at Dline and stumbled upon this guy. Signed to Purdue out of HS, but knew he wouldn't qualify. Goes to JUCO, and proceeds to put up 82 tackles, 21 TFL, and 9 sacks. Then last year, he broke his leg after the first game. With this, he now has 32P3 (just like Mett). Really quick and he spoke about the Neb. coaches allowing him to OLB in 3-4 in certain situations. Nebraska is also very thin on depth on the Dline, so he should bring relief very quickly. If I play a 3-4, he will be my OLB. If 4-3, he will be my DE.
6'6" 240
It starts about :45 seconds in.

With my next pick, Team Dro selects Myles Jack OLB, UCLA
Ht: 6-3
Wt: 230
40: 4.5
Big, fast and aggressive, Jack is a threat off the edge when rushing the passer or playing the run. He does a good job of recognizing a play early and he's explosive coming on a blitz. Jack has excellent feet and balance and is tough to cut block. He uses his hands well to shed blockers when scraping along the line of scrimmage and closes fast when blitzing from the blind side. Fundamentally sound in his technique and athletic. Pretty impressive film, could probably play RB too.

He was gonna be my next pick. This is looking dire.

He is explosive. I think he stays on D.

Would not surprise me if he had one of the biggest immediate impacts of anyone in this class.

I do. I only looked at him because i had my four top picks go since my last selection. I picked Langley and sweated out Gregory for my second pick.
As for Myles Jack, I was going to take flier on him in the next couple of rounds. My only hiccup on him was that he is playing LB in college and I couldn't find any defensive film on him. Great athlete at RB though.

Pasty & Dan can we make the 6 bonus pick official? 3 rounds, 2 at a time?
Posted on 2/13/13 at 7:51 pm to Dro
I will say though, when Zach Cunningham got selected, I was almost out the door to a pet store, to buy a small kitten, so I could murder it.

I looked at his film too. Perfect 0 tech, or NT, in a 3-4. Not very explosive, but commands double teams or he will be disruptive.

Posted on 2/13/13 at 8:11 pm to DownByTheBayou
Apparently I will have at least three or four guys wanting to put hits on me for the Gregory selection.

One of the few true 0 techs in this class. Not a sexy pick, but likely to be a solid player.

Love all the write ups and discussion.
Best part about this whole process IMO.

Verlander is the guy I've had to be watching he's always getting guys off my board

Larry David has requested a bump.....and I have changed my mind more times than my wife at the fricking restaurant, but I digress.
Pasty selects Stanvon Taylor, WR, Oklahoma
Film
This kid is a silky smooth player who knows how to use his body. You can really see how his basketball background has contributed to his football game when you watch him run routes. He changes direction without losing speed. Happy to get him here. He is the perfect example of game speed exceeding clock speed. He can separate. I think of Lebron moving on a football field with 9 extra inches and 70 extra pounds. He could have been all pro for sure.
