The 2012 NFL Draft Thread, 4/26 8EST/5PST Vikings are on the clock

[flasheightzero]

what's blackmon run, mid-high 4.5? shouldn't hurt him, he doesn't lose any speed in pads

alshon the return of usc mike williams (recent good version)

rueben randle could improve that draft stock a lot by going back, marques colston right now, but i remember some of the hype in 09

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Definitely a good bit faster than Colston

 

[IATT]

are we going get a mock draft going before the combine?!

and how many teams we got covered?

 

[dacomeup]

Is Blackmon in that same AJ, Calvin Johnson, etc. elite class as a rookie?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Yes.

The young WR talent in the L is absurd and it's only gonna get deeper over the next few years

No.

Can you name one thing that Blackmon is elite at? I think he has a NFL game but he is a notch below AJ and CJ. More like Hakeem Nicks.

Alshon. Hope those numbers are to make the 4.6 he will run look good. He is so good though.

 

[gunna get it]

elite: high pointing & attacking  passes, jump balls, run after catch.

A lot of familiar names that Kiper was high on. Harrison Smith being one, Janzen Jackson another, and Orson Charles too.

 

[gunna get it]

i rather take Harrison Barnes at FS in the 1st round

 

[theone2401]

I didnt see anything special from him on deep balls in the same way I see AJ Green or CJ on a weekly basis. He does attack the ball well but its usually on a short route he turns into a long gain. I dont think he will be breaking those big ones in the NFL anywhere near as often. I like him, he is good, but I just do not see a high ceiling.


If he ever averages more than 14 or 15 YPC in the NFL on a large sample my hat is off to him.

 

[gunna get it]

the usualguy who trains alot of the nfl hopefulsfrom outta LSU and the state of Louisiana said Janzen Jackson is the best athlete he's ever worked out.

smh cant turn away from that weed tho

He said deeper not more talented.

I wouldn't mind Cincy grabbing Jackson in the 3rd if he lasts that longs our safeties are

 

[thetruth03]

Give me them niners if y'all do a mock

 

[henz0]

People really think Luck is gonna come out and perform better than what Cam did last year?? (Watching ESPN btw )

 

[wraith aka invincible]

nah what cam did was elite. i just dont seem him putting up better #'s

Dude has Weeden above RG3

 

[dacomeup]

Wow @ him putting Weeden over RG3.

 

[IATT]

^ also has kendall wright and floyd as his top 2 receivers

 

[dacomeup]

I've seen people label Wright as the best WR in the draft and there have been rumblings that people aren't as high on Blackmon as everyone would think so that's not as surprising. Having Floyd over him is surprising, though.

But Weeden over RG3 is shocking. Never thought that I'd see that.

 

[IATT]

^ he has weeden as his 8th overall prospect (with RG3 9th).. check the far right for the overall rankings

 

[respect21]

I'd take the Cardinals again for the NT Mock Draft.
