re: 2016 Recruiting Mock Draft: In The Books!

Wrapping up my final "main round" with a bit of an off the radar pick here.

Christian Hill (JUCO) DE, Arizona State

Dude is raw on technique but just a monster on the field. 6'6" 265 and has at this point only played 2 seasons of competitive football. Really enjoyed this write up on him. In high school he was essentially relegated to water boy status, went into the military, then football... so in other words, he's a grown arse (humble) man already. I think he's going to get after it in a big way in the PAC12. I loved this bit:

quote:

First, Hill had to get his academics in order. Since he was doing his reserve work at Luke Air Force Base, he called Bell at Glendale Community College.

"I introduced myself and I put out a couple stats, like my height and my weight and how fast I am," Hill said. "I'm not sure he believed it."

Said Bell: "You get a million phone calls and emails like that. You really do."

Glendale holds open tryouts twice a year, but by the time Hill moved to the Valley in July 2014, both already had taken place. Even so, Bell told Hill he'd put him through an individual tryout.

Later that day, Hill walked into Bell's football office. "Hey, Coach," he said. "I'm Christian Hill."

Bell took one look at the size of his visitor and made an instant decision: No tryout needed.

"Just go ahead and get your physical," he told Hill.

I can only imagine the look on this Community College coach's face.

You son of a bitch.....that was literally my damn pick.

Well now that I've regained my composure, jembeurt will need to move Chandler Tuitt to Center for me.

Last pick is Tyler Brown OG Okie St.

I will take Jeff James, Jr, Safety, Miami.

Nephew of Edgerrin James.

Has only played football for 1 year, but it was the top classification in Florida and he had 9 INT's.

He didn't do any camps and didn't consider anyone else except for Miami. Definition of an under the radar guy with some big potential.

I had Spanellis but he was just taken.... DAMN!

OBUDan selects:



Chris Brown, S, Texas

Honestly trying to figure out why he's a 3 star. Pretty good size. Plays big time Texas football. Offers From Texas, Florida, Michigan, UCLA, OU, A&M, South Carolina, Baylor, Michigan State... and he was taking visits to Michigan and UF and Texas in January, so I don't think these were grey shirts. I know Brandon Jones is the stud coming to Austin, but I think this kid can really play. Legit corner coverage skills, but will come up and hit like a safety.

Na'Ty was taken in round 12 in 2013.

Lets finsh this thing out tonight!!!

Lucas Niang, OT TCU

My bad on the previous pick, somehow my search function didn't pick up Rodgers
