Go On the Books, 2012 Draft edition

[Midswat]

We did one of these last year. I'm looking good on my Denarius Moore prediction. The rest?


The skinny.... we all are die hard NFL'ers. Most of us love the draft with a passion.

Here's your chance to go on the books and declare who from the 2012 draft class will be booms, who will be busts... who are your pet cats, etc.

Go on record here, because if you don't, come four years down the line when you try and say 'omg I loved player A from Virginia Refrigerator College going into the 2012 draft', we will all link back to this thread to verify.

For shits and giggles... here's last years version: COME AT ME BRO!

How did I not post in that thread last year?

David DeCastro is a Pro Bowler.

Nick Perry will be the best pass rusher (sacks) from this group.

Trent Richardson will be an elite NFL RB.

Mark Barron will not merit his draft slot.

Tannehill is this year's Blaine Gabbert.

Kellen Moore will be lucky to have Ty Detmer's NFL career.

5 years from now Chandler Jones will be one of the best 15 players from this draft.

Vontaze Burfict will find a NFL home.

The movie Battleship will be awful.

Way to go!

I'll go first:

• Von Miller is a bust.

 

[Hoofbite]

Is this an all or nothing?

I guess if it is, I'll go with:

Poe will suck
McClellan will not.

 

[Midswat]

Is this an all or nothing?

No, it's whatever your thoughts are on the upcoming draft. Who you like, dislike, etc.

 

[Midswat]

Here's my nuggets of wisdom, born from hours upon hours of scouting report reading, and youtube scouting.

• Andrew Luck is a stud.
• Robert Griffin III will show flashes of brilliance, but he'll always be inconsistant and he'll never be able to put it all together. Semi-bust.
• Melvin Ingram is going to be a non-factor.
• Dontorie Poe = bust
• Nick Perry = 10 sack a year guy.
• Doug Martin will be the 2nd best back in this draft.
• Joe Adams will be a star in the league. A threat to score anytime he has the ball. Versatile as all get out.
• Bruce Irvin = soft. Won't make much of an impact in the league.
• Josh Chapman might prove to be the best pure NT in the draft.
• Donta Hightower will be a 10 year starter and multiple Pro Bowler.

Not for nothing dbair, but it's only been one season, so to say anyone is an actual bust is idiotic.

Unless, you were kidding of course. Miller had a good year. Myself, said Newton would be a bust. So far he has proven me wrong. I do believe though after going through a full season, if you want to call it that last year with no OTAS and mini camps, teams will be more prepared for players like Newton.

Having said this I don't think he has as good of a season as he did last year. JMO.

 

[Midswat]

Way to go!

You were too big a puss to participate, so you can eat a dick before you call others out.

In your defense, I started that thread before the Cowboys drafted, so you probably had no idea who you were supposed to like yet.

 

[Cr122]

DeCastro will be a good NFL career, Cox will also have a good career.

Poe will silence his critics and show his combine wasn't a fluke and he won't take plays off. :whistle

Gilmore will be the best all around corner at next level. Look out for Marvin McNutt, he's a player.

Bust? Michael Brockers. He's from LSU. That's all I got.

 

[Cr122]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you said Von Miller would be a stud, Mid.

I'll have to dig into the archives.

 

[Midswat]

Never liked Von Miller.

 

[peplaw06]

I think RG3 is going to be better than Luck.
Poe will be a bust.
Barron will be average at best.
Upshaw = that Ohio State guy who was picked highly a few years back by the Jets. What was his name? Exactly.
Cox will be Marcus Spears.
Agree with cr122 on Gilmore. I also like Josh Norman.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Awesome: luck, cordy Glenn, cocks, Ladarius green, bentley(cb)

The best player from bama will be chapman.

Nick perry will not get 10 sacks in his career.

At least 2 qb's go in the first round. Possibly 3.

Mohamed Sanu will be the best WR

The broncos will decide between Marcel dareus and Patrick Peterson

Vontaze burfict will reveal he has multiple personality disorder and depression and retire in TC

Chandler jones is the best sack artist from the draft

Merciless will bust

I can't say, but there's a story that might come out that will surprise many

 

[superpunk]

decastro is too weak to play in the NFL.

if we dont take kirkpatrick we will regret it

 

[Everlastingxxx]

I don’t follow college football but i did manage to watch a few highlights on youtube. QB wise, i think both Luck and RG3 have the talent to have great careers. Who will have the better career? Fuck, i don’t know. Upshaw and Cox look ok but not explosive enough to me.

Lol

 

[boozeman]

Lol

He nailed Burfict and the Battleship part.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

I nailed burfict . Me and me alone!

 

[cmd34(work)]

I don't think I fared too poorly.

DeCastro could prove me right this year.

Kellen Moore sucks.

Chandler Jones TBD.

We all better stick to our day jobs.
