OK I am going to save you the redundancy of bringing up the same obvious observation on almost every Pick in Rounds 6 & 7, by stating he obvious right now. Most of the players we are talking about from this point on will have to make their way onto NFL rosters by earning Special Teams jobs in August. THere you have it.
It should also be pointed out that this is often the stage of the draft game in War Rooms around the League when some scouts will make an impassioned speech or two about a diamond in the rough they have uncovered. And in a few cases they will be fed a bone and their find will be drafted.
Right now I am efforting to determine if CHRISTIAN RINGO, the LS taken by the PACK in Round 6 might not be the grandson of former PACKERS OC JIM RINGO. I juts can;t help but wonder even tho I think it rather unlikely.
`We really are in crap shoot territory now folks. GUys like Colin and I are just hoping there will not be a bunch of guys we have never heard of before today. Draftniks hate it when that happens.
MIchael Bennett was finally drafted at Pick 180 by the Jaguars. His namesake in Seattle bounced around a bit for a couple of years so it is possible that a mistake was made again today and many teams will kick themselves in the rear for not taking him a lot earlier.
Also good to see that JACK NICKLAUS’ grandson NICK O’LEARY was taken by the BILLS. He’s a tough, tenacious guy and I will bet he carves himself out a role on that team for a few years.
The race is clearly on with 1 round left to go as to whether FLORIDA STATE or LOUISVILLE will have the most players drafted this year. It could right down t the wire. With over 40 Picks left to go.
Like the selection of Lt WALTON/DL by the STEELERS. I think he’s a natural with his size and athleticism to play the 5-Technique for them, and in a pinch could play inside. I luved his work at the SHRINE venue and felt he was at least a round better then Pick 199.
I also think the RAMS made a solid pick in grabbing BUD SASSER/WR/MISSOU. he’s a full sized receiver who only lacks sped. He has sure hands, gets open, will work the middle of the field and become a reliable No. 4 wideout. He might even make a solid gunner on… oops I said I;d not mention that again.
Best name for a player in this round goers to Green Bay’s pick at 206. How much do you have to luv a FB named AARON RIPKOWSKI. It’s too much of a coincidence to me.
DARIUS PHILON/DL/ARKANSAS could be a very pleasant surprise for the CHARGERS DL. He showed great penetration skills last college season and the chargers do not seem to be bothered much if their DL lacks length, mush like the PACKERS under Whitey.
OK gotta go catch up on Round 7. Is there any chance someone throws a Pick out there for LAE’EL COLLINS. It sure would be worth it if he is cleared of any wrong doing in the ex-girlfriend’s death.
