The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Rounds 4-7

Casserly commented that JC a few minutes ago that JC was not a WCO QB as he was "slow" in a lot of areas, such as slow feet, slow decision-making, etc.

I saw that to. Someone was just begging to interject on his west coast experience at Auburn. However I think Caserly's evaluation was pretty spot on. He's accurate (though no one stresses that it's only on intermediate routes) and he's pretty good when you can use play action with him. Who knows this might not have been to bad of a situation.

The Raiders draft is actually one of my favorites this year. They got a guy who will compete with Patrick Willis for the generations best traditional Linebacker (Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher I consider last generation) a DT that is well regarded, and two promising young tackle prospects in Campbell and Veldheer.

i'm in the BPA camp. we're scraping the bottom of the barrel here looking for guys with some potential. I love the picks we've made so far. i understand people are disappointed that we didn't draft certain "big name" guys that were still available with our 4th and 6th, but when you think about it, if we, the comparatively uneducated fans know about some of these guys, then i'm sure our FO was thoroughly familiar with them - there's a reason these guys were/are still available in the draft. I trust our FO to pick the players which they think will have the greatest chance to contribute here.

All this talk about vinny still running the show is foolish. regardless of what scouts we've got, its shanahan and allen actually making the selections. if they pick a LB or TE we've never heard of over an offensive lineman, then its because they feel that guy can add to the team - even if its only as competition to push a veteran on the roster to perform better.

The Vinny "jokes" are just sarcasm at it's finest.

He has the height but at 250 pounds I highly doubt he's a flanker. More likely then not he's going to split time at FB, TE, and H-Back. I can gurantee though that he will be a beast on special teams.

This guy could be a better football player than Cooley or Davis. He seems willingly to do the dirty work. This is the reason you draft the best player available. You turn over your roster with quality players and position yourelf to trade players who other teams will value over time.

I will. I will.

bpa makes sense at this point. with that said, i wouldnt mind picking up capers or black for some more oline depth.

we've got enough oline "depth" on the team as it is now. what we need is another starting-caliber tackle. to draft an olineman at this point would be a waste in my opinion.

I think we'll go BPA, but where i see us going is WR, QB, LB, or FS.

Selvish Capers and Tony Washington are the only tackles that matter anymore. Ciron Black is just like Sam Young in my book. Huge guys that can't move. I know Todd McShay had us taking Black in the first round last year, but like many LSU guys projected to go high going into his senior year he dropped the ball.

I think we're going to take Blount.

@Adam Schefter
Get ready for Oregon RB LeGarrette Blount to go fairly soon -- hunch. #nfldraft

Carolina got Clausen AND Pike... damn...

I kinda liked Pike... oh well... QB next year

Yes, Jason is slow. Since Vinny knew that before he hired Zorn, why did he hire a HC who he knew would install a WC offense? I'm so sick of Vinny's stupidity I could puke.

Whats up with the Panthers? Does Gruden now run the team, they must have like 5 QBs now?

Besides Capers, we could get Dorian Brooks to play G or Jeff Byers to play center. Or we could grab Micah Johnson as an ILB.
