re: 2019 TD RMD: In the Books!

He was definitely on my radar for the next few rounds....

With my next pick, I’ll take Bryson Shaw Safety Ohio State! He’s got good size and looks very fast in his highlights.
When I saw he was a white safety who almost chose to play college lacrosse, I was ready to see all the “hard worker” coach speak bs in his eval, but everyone praises his speed, acceleration, body control, tackling, and aggressiveness.

Got me interested enough to watch his highlights and I was very impressed. He’s fast and a playmaker. Ohio state liked him enough to accept his commitment in the summer while still recruiting a ton of elite safety prospects. With Ronnie Hickman still recovering from an ACL tear, Shaw should get tons of reps.

Ill go with Drake Thomas ILB NC State

Ge'mon Eaford | OLB, Oregon

when you have a player in mind and each guy who's drafting hasn't picked him yet

Shoutout to everyone's draft. this about sum's up how I think y'all have drafted

I will take Marcus Stripling, DE Oklahoma

Let me get Keshawn King - RB - Virginia Tech

Been playing around with some stats around the draft. I'll throw out some updates every few rounds and then do a final post at the end.

I used the 247 Composite Scores for any of the analysis that has to do with comparing draft slot value. It's still a pretty small sample size, so a guy like Patrick Utschinki can really skew the numbers for WSU and the Pac-12 for example. It should even out towards the end of the draft though. Also, I excluded JUCO players for any of the stats that include rankings. I kept them for counting which schools and conferences have the most picks though.

Nice job putting in the work with that list.

Still pissed I missed on Sheridan Jones.

Couple things I take from that info:

Purdue has the same draftees as USC and Va Tech
Illinois has the same as Miami U and Ole Miss
Oklahoma and Oregon have pretty good classes
For all the shite they get, Tennessee and Florida State have more than Notre Dame
