re: 2017 RMD: In The Books!

I thought the point was getting non-corndog drafters to save some of your recruiting class for past the 5th round.

I tried man. I only got two (Skyler and mikeboss) and had to fill the other two spots with LSU guys. It ain't easy broseph.

I'm trying to avoid our class as well...really like my dbs so far. Film room study is gonna pay off on my sleepers at other positions

With the 82nd pick, GCB selects:

Levi Draper, ILB, Oklahoma



Really athletic kid with a frame that could add twenty pounds with relative ease. This pick is as much about opportunity as it is ability. He's one of the few true middle linebackers currently on OU's campus thanks to LSU wrecking the #SoonerSquad17.

I have deliberately avoided LSU players to not look like a homer. Lmao.

I almost picked an LSU guy once, but then he went 2 rounds earlier than I was expecting.

Draper is the best LB in this class(better than Browning and Moses). He would been my 4th round pick but I'm not too salty because I feel much safer about not getting my next 2 stolen. Now if they end up getting stolen too I will tucking lose ot

Sorry for the delay guys. With the 85th pick, maybe a bit of a reach (and can't believe I haven't taken an offensive player yet), but Team FibonacciSquared selects
Robert Barnes - Safety - Oklahoma.


Too early to call, but this might be my steal of the draft so far. Top 30 player for 247 and Top 50 for Scout... Rivals and ESPN pushed the composite score way down here for my benefit.

6'3"+, 200 and I have a hard time putting it any better than 247 did in their review of the 5 "gems" of OU's class: "#1 - In Robert Barnes, the Sooners are getting a great cover safety that diagnoses plays well, is very instinctive and a violent hitter and vicious tackler." He's also got pretty great hands as he's played WR as well, though to stay balanced here, he looks a little awkward moving with the ball in his hands so I can only assume he was a possession guy. Junior Highlights (First Int play at about the 0:52 mark, but the first two hits are brutal (damn near targeting to my eyes, but I'm watching on my phone).


Kid is an OU Legacy, so was never really in doubt that he'd go there, coincidentally, it looks like he's the only Safety they took this year... which is a surprise because they only have 4 on the roster right now, 1 a Senior and all 3 of the others are Juniors. He's likely going to be only an injury away from making an impact this year depending on how long the recovery from a broken leg in October takes. Worst case he's challenging for or taking a starting role next year depending on draft attrition.

martell was gonna be my next pick.

OBUDan selects:

Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah



One of the best athletes in the entire signing class, Johnson could step into immediate playing time at Utah. Elite explosive skills on a 6'0 frame, this guy looks like a stud NFL corner to me and yet another 3 year starter.
