2013 NFL Draft Thread

[Midswat]

does that mean you dont want to draft him?

Don't care for the player, no.

If you put$100 on the heat and rolled it over during this streak you'd have over 50K

Mods, seems like this is misplaced. Perhaps an infraction is warranted.

Duly noted.

Strengths: Prototypical size and build for the position. Possesses a high-cut frame with good overall musculature. Shows very good straight-line speed, agility, balance and hip flexibility. Athleticism for coverage duties are enhanced by Vaccaro's vision and instincts. Quickly locates the ball and shows an understanding of route-progression, rarely getting caught out of position.

Often asked to drop down from his free safety position to cover the slot, demonstrating a smooth backpedal, hip turn and the burst out of his breaks to stay in the hip pocket of his opponent. Hasn't generated the number of interceptions of prior UT defensive backs, but has good ball skills and showed greater willingness to jump routes as a senior.


Highly aggressive run defender. Flies to the line in run support, demonstrating a physical pop and generally reliable open-field tackling skills. Possesses the long, strong arms for the drag-down tackle, as well as good closing speed in pursuit and on the occasional blitz.



Weaknesses: Can get out of control in his aggression toward the line of scrimmage. Will duck his head in his attempt to make the big hit and leave cut-back lanes for patient, explosive runners to take full advantage. Must do a better job of wrapping up, rather than leading with his shoulder.


Hasn't shown the consistency as ballhawk considering his hype, recording only five interceptions in 51 career games. Teams will want to ask Vaccaro about a few run-ins with authorities. He was reportedly arrested following a fight with another Texas student in 2009 and again in 2012 after failing to obey a lawful order, a misdemeanor.


Compares To: Eric Weddle, FS, San Diego Chargers -- Like the highly instinctive and versatile Weddle, Vaccaro has the athleticism and size to line up wherever his NFL team needs him most. Vaccaro hasn't yet shown the same ball skills as the Chargers' Pro Bowler but showed signs of improving in this area as a senior.

He's not going to be asked to line up in the slot, so his greatest strength means basically squat.

Its retarded to trade away first's the future year, but not lower picks.

By almost every account this years draft is considered incredibly deep after the top 10-15 picks. It is not a bad idea to try and get mroe picks now, especially since it appears help via free agency isnt coming.

To get a fourth this year you need to give a 3rd in next years draft, I'd rather be the team with two 3rd's and no 4th than the team with no 3rd and two 4th's. We've already screwed FA let's frick up the draft to...

if all things were equal you'd be right, but the concensus right now is this years draft is much deeper than next year, especially at positions we need the most help at (OL, DL and safety)

No fucking way.

 

[Midswat]

He doesn't take point spreads into account.

Heat have a huge win streak, but have they covered each game?

I honestly haven't paid any attention to any sports lately. My Madden Franchise and Sopranos dvd's have served as a great distraction.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

Clearly doesn't take spreads into account. And no chance they've covered every game

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

14-9 against the spread during the streak.

JFC @Walterfootball is a shitty twitter follow. Hey look guys I'm doing ANOTHER mock draft! I'll be sure to tweet how each pick is updated for all four rounds!

~clicks link~

Oh... you mean you have us selecting the same person you had us selecting the last time you did this, like two days ago? Cool.

Keep eye on Don Unamba/CB/Southern Arkansas..sleeper at the position worked out by Colts, Bears, Rams & expected to attend Cowboys local w/o

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Gotta love Dallas Day. Nice little advantage for us.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

We attended San Diego State's Pro Day.

Gavin Escobar would be a nice grab. A lot of Gronkowski in him.

Most unique mock I've seen in a while.
