I really like Jonathan Williams.


Arkansas has a lot of seniors at RB. He could be the guy soon.

Himself and the QB who was committed to Bama went to my former high school. It's a large high school with a successful program. However, results are mixed when it comes to developing good college players.

The only couple that come to mind outside of Brandon Villareal who was all Big Ten DT at Purdue and was on the Saints practice squad briefly were the Dick brothers and they were hardly "successful" at Arky.

Bump. Sorry for the quick hook, but I need to make my pick before heading to a meeting.

Give me Justin Ferguson, WR, Notre Dame

6'2, 205 lbs, 4.5

Nice measureables, but nothing spectacular. What caught my attention was his offer list and his ultimate decision. I like the idea of a kid from South Florida choosing ND (leaving home for a tough school) over Bama, FSU, FL and Miami. I hate ND by the way.

The new stadium opens soon. It costs $60 million to build. Yes, a high school football stadium that cost $60 million.

Ok I'm drafting Brandon Radcliffe, RB Louisville. Kid is super powerful, great balance, and that program's on the way up. Another Miami kid brought in to rebuild. Badass

yeah and they play nationally ranked teams so he is real. Chase Daniels former team SouthLake Carroll, Euluess Trinty and a few other big schools. They dont get it easy by any means. and they have been nationally ranked for the past few years. I live out here and here the hubbub about thsi kid.

They are just like West Monroe to LA.

Allen is not to that point yet. They seem to dominate their district, but have trouble in the playoffs. They typically have to face Carroll or Euless Trinity in the second round of the playoffs and they get beat.

Ok I haven't had a whole lot of time to pimp my amazing team but I'm waiting for my car to get fixed so here we go.

QB- Matt Davis aTm Tore his ACL his junior year, came back strong his senior year. Will be running Sumlin's offense for the Aggies and should put up a million yards and TDs. Tannehill's gone so the QB spot is pretty open but he'll probably redshirt.
RB- Byron MarshallNo more LaMichael James means he'll probably play as a true freshman, and Oregon's RBs have had lots of success as of late.
WR- Deontay Greenberry6'3, runs a 4.4 and had a pretty decent HS career with 109 catches, 2,165 yards and 33 TD. Wait, what? That was just his senior season? Was committed to ND but switched to Houston at the last minute, should be a big fish in a small pond with a lot of passes flying around.
WR- Thomas Johnson Great route runner, will be catching passes from my QB hopefully, but whoever he's catching them from they should be plentiful. Went to the same high school as Mike Davis but unlike Davis this guy's not a piece of shite.
TE- Colin Thompson Florida brought in 2 big time tight ends this year but this guy should play earlier than Taylor.
TE/FB- Dominic Ramacher ESPN's 3rd ranked TE just behind my other guy and ahead of Kent Taylor. Really athletic and Ok St. has had a recent history of developing TEs. Plus I like his last name. I was very pleased to get ESPN's #126 ranked player in the 16th round.
OT- Brandon Greene ESPN's #6 ranked OT and #30 ranked player overall. I got him in the 8th round. Thanks guys.
OT- Mike Madaras Only decent tackle Maryland's signed in the last few years so he should play. That's all I'm hoping for.
OG- Frank "the tank" Taylor Just realized he's a high school teammate of Thompson my TE. He's a punishing run blocker who's smart enough to go to Harvard. I think he'll be an all ACC guard.
OG- Nacho Garcia 6'5, 340 and played TE for Avery's 7 on 7 team. Many on this board liked him, but for whatever reason Miles didn't want to offer him. We usually have 1 OL every year that looks at us, goes elsewhere and ends up a stud, and that's this kid.
C- Clayton Stadnik He doesn't get a link. If I had known Joey Hunt could be a center he'd be on my team, but since he'll be a DT and never sniff center I didn't think to draft him there. Stadnik has a brother on the team and apparently knows how to hike the ball through his legs. That's all I got.

So there's the offense. We'd score a minimum of 40 points on any other team in this draft. Defense will come next, then a 2 year draft depth chart. Noah Spence and Jadeveon Clowney coming off the edge folks, try to run plays against that.

I gave him a long look, but something about his tape just didn't "pop" to me.

You have an insane duo of WRs. Both those guys are studs. And Matt Davis should flourish in Sumlin's offense.

Raymond Ford, CB, California

He's a smallish defensive back that always seems to be in the right place at the right time. I think injuries may have shortened his junior and senior seasons. He isn't afraid to mix it up with larger players. In a camp setting, he shut down my 12th round pick Darreus Rogers. Sleeper and underrated are terms that were used to describe him which is weird because everyone knows about him, they just chose to overlook him. There are other players left that I like, but as I've said before, film don't lie.

Nobody take my next pick. He's probably one of my favorite players in this class.

Have you all ever thought about expanding to 26 rounds so the "snake" gets evened out.

I'm okay with 25 rounds since it mimics an actual signing class.

ETA: I'm also okay with extending it out to 33 rounds since there's still 2 LBs, 1 DB, 1 OL, 1 WR, 2 QBs, and 2 DL that I'm still willing to take.

After two months and with all the bumps, y'all can tell that fatigue has taken hold.
