..... Chargers just drafted another RB.
2008 NFL Draft Scorecard
- Thread starter reclaimsocal
- Start date
From ESPN's "Draft Tracker" on 3rd round picks. Anyone else see a pattern?
Jacob Hester: In our opinion, Hester is a bit of a reach because he doesn't have elite skills and lacks ideal size, speed and athleticism. Hester, however, is a far better football player than athlete.
Dan Connor: Connor doesn't have elite athletic ability and has problems matching up in man coverage, so he's probably a better fit on the inside.
Tom Zbikowski: Zbikowski is overaggressive at times and he lacks the hip fluidity to recover when he gets caught too close to the line of scrimmage.
Brad Cottam: He doesn't show great athletic ability as a pass-catcher. However, he has the size to develop into an excellent in-line blocker and has the strong hands to develop into a reliable possession receiver.

Even white linemen suffer from the dreaded tight hips syndrome according to the experts. From nfldraftrivals.com about Roy Schuening, the Rams` 5th round selection:
"The Bad: At times he gets out of position by being overly aggressive and needs to play within himself to be effective. Schuening needs to improve his strength to handle the massive defensive tackles he will face as a pro. While capable of picking up stunts and blitzes,
he can be stiff in his hips and overall movement skills."

Thanks, Stonewall. I tried the ol` eye test, but I thought maybe my eyes were deceiving me. But of course he`s black-he`s going to play for the Jags.
Well, at least the `Skins drafted Durant Brooks to punt the ball. Gotta get our quota of white kickers.

I feel confident in saying this is the blackest NFL draft ever.

It seems so
In a round by round breakdown, it's going something like, 5 whites in RD 1, 6 in RD 2, 8 in RD 3, 9 in RD 4 (our best so far), and 7 in RD 5.
There are positives though. A lot of our really good players are going to places where they could see decent playing time. Several pretty good fits.

Not to fear, a white kicker is here!

the chiefs can't not choose hillis here in round 6
Of the "Big 4" teams which are relatively white friendly and successful, Green Bay, Indianapolis and San Diego have hadgood drafts, the Packers in particular. But New England has drafted just one white player out of six so far (QB Kevin O'Connell).
