I have more than a few draft prospects I posted about the last day of the draft in years past that no one else mentioned on ROD about ( see Robert Rochelle, David Long Jr. etc.) however, it’s a crap shoot because the low value, multitude of trades, and guys that fall that complicates late day pick prediction.
Last draft day picks are a lot funner for me to review and go after than the top guys that are no brainers in making an NFL team. Also, GM’s reputation and jobs are on line drafting with these late round picks that generally make or break them and/or a team.
This year is a special year with all the Super Seniors, Normal underclassman and seniors, as well as hold overs for the the first Portal talent, yeah this draft is loaded with talent. So much so the 5, 6, and 7th round have guys who would normally in the 3-5 range.
The general media doesn’t pump them up or talk about them much so those who fancy themselves a draft guru don’t generally talk much about late round picks since you can’t be a half wit to listening to media for these type of picks.
Just curious, those of you that follow deeper in the draft prospects, you have any favorites you like in this unique draft?
(Obviously projected round is subjective, how many times can you get 32 different people to all agree 100% of the time? It only takes one to take a guy early and not risk it)
p.s. most are captains as well.
