I feel like you're making an assumption here because of his lankiness. He has very good functional strength and is able to set the edge very well because he knows how to use his length to the point where you almost never see OT's get in on his body.

See he was the highest rated OT on my board... The problem was is right after I made the pick I realized I should have taken Matthews. I just wanted to get peoples opinion on the pick to see if it was as bad as I could be.

I've seen Jordan on four or five occasions and his lack of functional strength is really concerning. We'll probably have to agree to disagree on this one. I like his overall movement skills, length, and athleticism, but as an offensive coordinator I'd find the opportunity to run the ball in his direction pretty appealing.

There's no point waiting for Caddy if we're going to keep with the 1 hour clock. If he didn't send a board.

He should leave a BB but knowing him that is out of the question.

He has scoffed at hat suggestion in the past...

[SuperPacker]

So what are we doing? It's the middle of the night in Australia.

[BeerBaron]

I'm going to give him his hour so he can't *****.

[redbills]

Bills here, I'll be off and on but will check about every 30 min to see if I am up.

[TACKLE]

Give him Logan Thomas.

[SuperPacker]

Or Landry Jones.

[D-Unit]

Honestly if I were mocking the Bucs, I would give them EJ Manuel. If he slides to the Cowboys, I'm taking him.

[princefielder28]

tremendous pick for the Bucs!

[BeerBaron]

Did you change your sig to that just now or has it been that way?

It's been that way for this whole week

I think Poyer is arguably the best corner in this draft and I have a first round value on him

Did you not get the pm where I sent you my number and asked to text me when I'm up?

Ah crap, I was one number off. I did try. Sorry.

It's cool. I don't mind the pick.

I just wanna make sure everyone knows it's all your fault. :)

That's good at least. That was just a typo when I put it in my phone. I do need to create a spreadsheet of all the numbers I've gotten doing this over the years to make this easier. No more one in a PM, on in an email, one here, one there...

[ImBrotherCain]

You could just save them in your phone.

[Grizzlegom]

Sweet, back in time for my pick!

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Thoughts on the Eifert pick? When MacDonald went earlier I didn't have a true target in the first round so I figured I'd trade down and grab a guy I liked regardless. Had I stayed at 25 I would have gone Banks, but with him, Rhodes, Milliner, Barrett Jones, Eifert and Matthews still on the board I figured could nab at least one of them in the early 2nd while at the same time moving up to the top of the 3rd.

[ncst8fan83]

Cannot believe Short lasted that long. I considered him with my first pick. No 3rd round pick for me, so I suppose I'm done unless we keep going. I'm happy with Lewan and Short though.

[jrdrylie]

Chicago doesn't have a third rounder. So I might be interested in trading down to get three picks in this mock.

Then I'd have like 50 board member numbers in my phone...would be annoying.

Also, we're probably going to end up doing a 4th round. We always end up doing one more round.
