Draft Blog Day 3

May 2, 2015

Watching telecasts today from outside in Chicago I cannot help but think how lucky the NFL has been to have such lovely weather in early May. AS an old guy I say kudos to MEL KIPER for having his shades on for the outdoor location shoot. As we get older having shade eye protection is a big deal. In fact it should be for younger people too. EVer heard of UV rays?!

Round 4 is starting out as I expected. Mostly well known names are bring selected and team needs are far outweighing exact player rankings.

Interesting Pick by the JETS of BRYCE PETTY/QB. He is not going to help them this season, but if GENO SMITH does not progress as desired PETTY can learn for a year and be ready to compete in 2016.

All defense so far, and I luv the PATS pick of TREY FLOWERS/DE. He’s this year’s CHRIS SMITH from the Razorbacks and has that tweener size and athleticism to move around to multiple positions and tasks on that ever evolving PATS Defense. He will generate pass rush with his speed.

I think DA BEARS are set at the RB spot for the next few years. Drafting JEREMY LANGFORD to compliment FORTE and CAREY provides versatility and depth at the RB position. Gotta get after that Defense again tho with multiple picks again today.

VIKINGS take the risk on CLEMMINGS/OT and his stress fracture. If he can rehab successfully he’ll earn a starting job in 2016.

JAMISON CROWDER/WR/PR will be a big hit in D.C. He does not have the deep speed of SANTAN MOSS, but he has his quickness, elusiveness and hard work attitude to have solid value at the bottom of the WR depth chart. He finds the end zone and will help them in that regard as well.

Back to the TV set. Be blogging at you again in a while.
