2013 NFL Draft Thread

[Bob Sacamano]

Why isn't he coaching then? stfu, Darren.

 

[NoShame]

lol Same could be said about all of these draft experts on internet message boards... At least he played in the league, breh.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I work for the Raiders.

We had a private workout with La'Veon Bell.

Watching it on TV perhaps?

so you can tell a guy is a leader FROM JUST WATCHING TV - OMG ??

sorry he DOES NOT HAVE THE FEET OF TACKLE - does fit Callahan scheme

he heavy footed IMO

thats what watching TV tells me

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Just something to note, Darren Sharper said Vaccaro reminds him of himself.

Ronnie Lott once said that Roy Williams reminded him of himself.

Sorry, thought you mean the blocking part, which you can see on TV. That said, everyone there (players and coaches) talk about how he is considered one of the leaders of the team and is very passionate about it in the lockerroom and in the huddle.

sorry he DOES HAVE THE FEET OF TACKLE - does fit Callahan scheme

People obsess over this too much IMO. Either the guy can play or he cant. the guy blocks the shit out of people. I dont care how he does it, but he does it. And thats what we need here, people who can block.

he heavy footed IMO

I watch alot of Alabama games because of where I live (they are on all the time) and I've never really seen him struggle in pass protection. And he flat out domnates as a run blocker.

Latest from Stretch Smith FWIW...

Says Fluker is a T only and several NFL scouts told him he's very poor kicking left, so don't think he can play LT (as a swing guy). Doesn't think we will take him.

Two DTs worthy of #18 are Floyd and Richardson. Knows Floyd won't be there. Richardson, maybe. Don't dismiss trade ups.

Four OL worthy of 18, Warmack the only one who might be there.

Says his picks for #18 Warmack or...Get this... Eric Reid. Wild card: Eddie Lacy.

Word he hears on Vacarro? We like him, don't love him, at #18. And at 18 you better love him.

Just passing it along.

Great info. Thanks for posting, amigo.

I'd be okay with surrendering a 4th for a slight trade up. That's a throwaway round for us anyways.

I mean, if it led to us taking a trench player.

Eric Reid would be a collosal reach. And Eddie Lacy would be as well.... and would piss me off to no end.

 

[dbair1967]

Have no idea who Stretch Smith is, but this screams of "grain of salt" type info.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Agree on Lacy. That would seriously piss me off. The last thing we need is another effing RB that won't get used anyway... Especially in the first.

It's hard to tell though, that might be more his opinion because he thinks we need one big sledgehammer type RB. But I'm pretty sure he's said in the past to look for us to take a bigger bodied RB instead of a scatback type to complement Murray.

And now that I think about it, we did love Richardson last year -- think we had him in the top 5. That would've pissed me off too even though he's a good player.

 

[dbair1967]

There's no way we are taking a RB in round one. I have a hard time thinking we'll even take one in round two. After that I wouldnt be surprised at using a pick in any other round.

That said, they say Nick Saban and the staff there absolutely love Lacy.

Someone mentioned we would be looking at a scatback type. Don't recall who though.

I mean, I guess I could get on board with Lacy because, truthfully, we field a different team when Murray is active. Defenses play us much softer because of the threat. But I'd sincerely hope we'd go heavy trenches the rest of the way.

Naw, fuck it. I'd hate it.

 

[superpunk]

we do need a RB at some point....and jersey sales....and hell, the saints took Ingram when they already had a decent backfield...

 

[overused]

have to agreee on Lacy but itwould be nice to have RB that we could count on - I would not be mad - if he the best there then take the kid

I called Ed Lacy as a surprise pick months ago

there are to numurous big backs in the later rounds

SB here we come - JK

thanks for the info

but I would be pissed if we draft him

I really don't see it

At one time Roy Williams reminded a lot of us of Ronnie Lott.

We should add a starter type at RB. Heck, one could be picked up as a UDFA.

If he excels only at RT, why is that a bad thing that he cannot be a swing OT? We already have a swing OT in Parnell. The guy is a road-grade and excellant in pass protection---we need this at the RT spot. Can Warmack kick on over and play Center? We know that Cooper can, but should we pass on Warmack if he's there because he can't play Center?

Doubt we will tradeup in the 1st consecutive years. Shouldn't be trading up anyway, have too many holes that need filling.

If that were to go down it then becomes beat a baby-kill a kitten-and pulverize a puppy time.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I know he's tiny and didn't have great measurables at the Combine, but I would love to have Ace Sanders here. He's not as bad a route runner as you might think. He sure can explode into them though.

 

[Midswat]

Raiders are trading for Matt Flynn.

Didn't see them mocked as taking a QB in the first anyway, but it's just one more QB needy team that won't have to force a pick there.
