Cash Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Thanks for posting! My reviews: OLB TJ Parker — No. 99 99 is usually best for a penetrating DT, but it can work on the edge. Will need to see it on Parker on the field to know for sure, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Grade: B with a chance to go up to A in preseason. CB Davison Igbinosun — No. 21 Great choice. 21 is very strong for a tall press-man CB. Grade: A T/G Jude Bowry — No. 74 Another great choice. Will work equally well if he comes in at OT or OG. Grade: A WR Skyler Bell — No. 13 This one could be a little shaky - maybe I've just got Gabe on the brain, but I think 13 works better for a taller and less shifty receiver. I'll reserve judgement until I see it on him though. Grade: Incomplete LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr — No. 52 Great number for an interior linebacker! Should work great with his body type, too. KEO needs to do something about that last name, though. He's starting at a disadvantage with the hyphen, but then to have that random R in the middle of "Elams"? That's tough. Grade (number): A+ Grade (name): C- S Jalen Kilgore — No. 29 Not bad, but I don't love it. Was picturing him somewhere in the 40s. Although I guess those are really LB numbers now, so this is probably for the best. Grade: B DT Zane Durant — No. 92 Solid choice for an undersized penetrating DT. A number in the 90s is an absolute MUST. Grade: A- CB Toriano Pride Jr. — No. 32 Yikes. For a guy with such a great CB name, this is a real obstacle to him even making the team. Forget about the OJ stuff for a minute - 32 works okay for a safety, but it's awful for a CB. Especially a small, blazing-fast one. Isn't 27 available? That was the obvious pick, and Foolish Pride blew it. Grade (number): F Grade (name): A P Tommy Doman Jr. — No. 39 Please tell me he'll switch numbers once he beats out Wishnowsky. This is awful. I've loosened up a fair amount on my old man takes about numbers, but seeing specialists with numbers higher than 19 still feels very wrong to me. Grade: D (would be an F, but c'mon, he's just a punter.) G Ar'maj Reed-Adams — No. 60 Ah, a nice palate cleanser to end on a positive note. 60 works great for a guard-only player, and should look good on his massive frame. Grade: A 1 1 7 3 2 Quote

eSJayDee Posted May 5 Posted May 5 30 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Everything but 18 is taken Thanks for pointing that out (is 12 retired?) I guess the problem is that a) we currently have ~90 players, so there's not too many available and b) there are some "regular" players (RB, LBs, etc) that have single digit #s which IMO they shouldn't.

Kelly No huddle Posted May 5 Posted May 5 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Urban Achievers said: Was it Gabe sho also went by “Zoo” or was that someone else? I can't remember. The 96 team in Northerns rookie year was one of my favorite teams tho. I forget what magazine it was, maybe Athlon sports picked them to win the super Bowl. So it was a very exciting off-season. Our 96 draft was excellent. Matt Steven's was a great pick too. Rip Eric moulds was a great kick returner his rookie year. The 96 team on paper in the off-season was extremely talented and very deep. Kelly was still a gunslinger but not quite the same anymore. He started the year horribly, but recovered in October & Nov. I believe they were 9-3 at one point and the 1 seed.
