Nice work Lebanon, you may be worth saving from the ban hammer.

Thanks Lebanon for the commentary. You are either a superlative BS artist or spend a ton of time watching games. I think it's probably the latter.

You are dead-on about Kafka on the out-routes. After seeing him play vs. Penn State (before pulling his hammy) and Wisconsin, I came away convinced that he could make all the throws needed in the NFL. He also showed it against Auburn once he settled down a bit.

I like your assessment of Wootton. He's a real anchor, but I wonder if his edge rush skills are enough. I thought he might work well as a one gap tackle because of his burst and strength.

The other guy out of Northwestern is Sherrick McManis, a cornerback. He'll probably go in rounds 5-6.

Ha! I don't have any credentials, I'm just trying to be the phinstd for the NFL. What makes coach film so great is that it's truncated. Similar to the shortened NFL games that NFL Network plays during the week. All the BS is cut out.

Tiger, I'll get to those as soon as I can. They'll probably be as long as these other ones because I've seen plenty of film on those guys. I'll tell you right now, I'm really high on McClain and Haden(!), not so much on Okung.

I'd add a third possibility that he's a whiz with the cut and paste but I'm gonna suspend my usual cynicism since it won't cost me anything if it turns out to be total [expletive].

Makes for an entertaining read, for sure.

Don't be so edgy. You're getting your props for your impressive scouting reports. HJ and I being the cynical a+holes that we are are just leaving a little wiggle room for the slight possibility of the internet scam.

Nice work. There, I said it.

This has the feel of an angsty teen movie. I sure hope I'm vindicated, or at least let back into the clique, in the end.
