"Face of the franchise"

"Homerun threat"

"This is a copycat league"

There's got to be tons of others. What do you got?

"Very raw but great athletic ability."

Fast forward -- out of the league in 3 years once the team gives up on trying to turn him into a football player.

"His intagibles are off the charts" is by far the best thing I heard this weekend.

"good pick" . . .

every pick is a good pick on the day of the draft . . .

 

[awesomeness]

I like how there are numerous "steal of the draft" picks, and that steal of drafts are able to be determined before the players even step on the field.

any guy that slid due to character concerns is always considered an SOD . . .until he gets arrested . . .

"His skillset matches their scheme"

"He has long arms which is what you look for"

This kid has a real motor.

He has the football pedigree. (So glad the Long story is done)

And....

The pick is in.

Branden "Hey, Hey, Hey, I'm Fat" Albert

Eddie Royal "with Cheese"

John David "Ghetto" Booty

"Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of" Earl Bennett

Dustin "Don't Call Me Helen" Keller

Jonathan "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy - Rod" Stewart

James "Die" Hardy

Jamaal Charles "in Charge"

"He could have been a good NFL player, but he just got Millen'd."

 

[LessThanZero]

"Very raw but great athletic ability."

Fast forward -- out of the league in 3 years once the team gives up on trying to turn him into a football player.

And the flipside: "His measurables might not be there but he's a downright football player."Thanks for the in-depth analysis guys.
