How it's looking now...
Houston 1-16 - Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest Houston actually drafted this kid at this slot. Immediately became Houston's starting nickel corner and had a great rookie season. Ended up on IR in Week 6 in 2016 due to a foot injury, but was again playing well as nickel. 2-51 - Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson Started as a rookie for New Orleans at MLB and was the team's leading tackler. Then, Sean Payton and his group of idiots on the defensive side of the ball thought it would be great to pick up Laurinaitis (fail) and move Anthony to SAM (fail), then blame Anthony and tell him that he doesn't know how to read an offense and put him on the bench. This would be a great pick if he was anywhere but with that group of idiots. 3-82 - Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB, Louisville Reserve OLB for the Jets who has actually played pretty good when he gets to see the field. He needs to see the field even more in 2017. 4-116 - Chris Conley, WR, Georgia Is developing into a very solid #2 receiver in KC. A relatively good pick for the 4th round. 5-152 - Javorius Allen, RB, USC After being a solid reserve back as a rookie, especially as a receiving back, he disappeared on the depth chart in year 2. We'll see if he resumes a bigger role this season. 5-175 - Clayton Geathers, S, Central Florida Has developed into a decent starting strong safety for Indy in 2016 after being a solid reserve as a rookie. 6-195 - Andy Gallik, OC, Boston College Started 8 games as a rookie, but got injured in training camp in 2016 and was released with an injury settlement. 6-211 - Rory Anderson, TE, South Carolina Released in training camp as a rookie. Picked up by Bears and put on PS but got injured and is now a free agent. 6-216 - Tyrell Williams, WR, Western Oregon Reserve as a rookie, but stepped up with a huge season in year 2, putting up 69 catches for 1,059 yards and 7 TDs. 7-235 - Jordan Hicks, LB, Texas Started as a rookie but was injured, showing promise. Started in year two with 85 tackles, 1 sack, 11 PDs and 5 Ints. Shows a ton of promise moving forward as the Eagles MLB. Overall: I'd say I got a pretty good haul here. Williams and Conley both look like solid #2 receivers. Geathers is coming on as a box-type SS. Hicks has the makings of a good MLB. Johnson is a very solid nickel and could start outside this season. If Anthony comes back on for NO and I can get more traction out of Mauldin, this will be a quality draft. New England 1-32 - Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State Bears starting NT, played well as a rookie. Was sidelined a good portion of 2016 with a high ankle sprain, but he'll start again in 2017. 2-64 - Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska Became Detroit's starter late in his rookie year and looked solid. Started off well in 2016, but a foot injury in week 2 ended his season. He'll be Detroit's starter once again. If he's healthy, he could be pretty good. 3-96 - Joshua Shaw, CB, USC Reserve corner as a rookie. Ended up starting 12 games last season and looked really solid. It looks like he'll start opposited Kirkpatrick heading into 2017. 3-97 - Tre McBride, WR, William & Mary I way overdrafted this kid, with Tennessee taking him in round 7. He's done nothing of note yet. 4-101 - Tyler Sambrailo, OT, Colorado State I'm not sure what this kid is for Denver, if it's RT or Guard... He's started a handful of games over the past 2 seasons, but hasn't locked down a spot. He's penciled in at RT, but the signing of Menelik Watson might change that. We'll see what happens with the kid, but I'm thinking I didn't strike gold here. 4-131 - Kenny Bell, WR, Nebraska Another strike-out in round 4, he's done nothing in Baltimore. Man, what a bad 4th round. 6-178 - Darryl Roberts, CB, Marshall New England actually drafted this kid in the 7th. Bounced from New England to the Jets off of waivers. Ended up being a nickel/dime back for the Jets last year and started 2 games. Will likely find his way into the same roll in 2017. 7-219 - Kevin Snyder, LB, Rutgers UDFA that bounced from Detroit to San Francisco to New England as a rookie. He's now on a futures contract with Denver. 7-253 - Alec May, DE, Georgetown Got a shot as a UDFA with Detroit but didn't make the cut. Overall: I had a solid first 3 picks, but after that it got dicey after that. I think Sambrailo and Roberts still have a shot, but I'm not holding my breath on the rest. |
Thanks for posting, crow. Tyrell Williams was an outstanding pick.
When it comes to Shaw, he will likely be competing with Dennard for 4th corner reps behind William Jackson, Kirkpatrick, and Adam Jones. They just picked up Dennard's fifth year option for 2018 at $8.5 mil guaranteed, so he will probably get every opportunity to win that job. Bengals could potentially cut Jones to save a few million since they are so loaded at corner, which would give Shaw the 4th corner job without much competition. |

I drafted 4 guys after pick 150 in this draft that were regular (not injury replacement) starters for their teams last year. |

Golden looked good last year. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does as an every down player. |
