I am in pretty strong agreement with most of your picks Boom. There are 3-4 I have "minor" disagreements about (they aren't even worth typing about, splitting the hairs of a balding man is big waste of time IMO), and only one I have a major disagreement about and he is the one player I think many may be overestimating, and many will think I am out of my mind for thinking it, but that player is Calvin Johnson. I know he is big, I know he has good hands, I know he has pretty good speed, and I even know what OUTSTANDING BODY CONTROL he has. But the biggest and most obvious flaw about this guy when watching LOTS of highlights of him play, is that in ALL the highlight reels, I did not see ONE, NOT EVEN ONE FREAKIN SINGLE PLAY, in which there was anything that could be considered "separation" between him and the guy covering him, and in the NFL, that can spell problems. Now don't get me wrong, I think this kid will do fine in the nfl, but it seems like everyone thinks he is gonna be the next Randy Moss/ Jerry Rice, where I more realistically, at least in terms of on the field production, see him being more like the next Keyshawn Johnson (minus the a****** attitude of course :D), which aint a bad consolation prize, I just don't foresee this guy becoming the greatest receiver that ever lived like so many others see him becoming. I hope he proves me wrong!!, Because unlike so many other receivers, this kid has a REALLY good head on his shoulders!! Also Boomer, I wanted to know your thoughts on Justin Blalock, because I think this is one kid that is really flying under the radar and could be a freakin BEAST in the nfl. Has all the athletic ability in the world, only big knock on him seems to be his technique, something a Mr. Hudson Houck might know a thing or 2 about correcting. I only make like one sleeper pick every 2-3 years, and this is the guy I am picking, my last 2 though not "huge reaches" Drew Brees and Shawn Andrews, still did way better than many were expecting from them at the time, they are both pro bowlers. And I am going on record right now, that I think Justin Blalock is gonna be WAY better than even the very talented Shawn Andrews. Guess we'll know soon enough. But once again, awesome job boomer, I like that you provide a lot of sound evidence for your picks, there are many mock draft wanna bees who could learn from your example. Take care and I look forward to reading more of your posts bro!:cooldude:
