God damn it.

OldSchool, next year don't put the former rounds in spoiler brackets. I searched the page for his name and it didn't come up.

If anything, just double post to start the whole process and have selected players in the OP and then the draft breakdown in the first and second post.

Lol, there's a position tracker in spoiler too. Every player already taken is listed in there. Easier than doing a search.

Even though I still found a way to screw it up, the position tracker works really well.

Cincinnati Bengals select Shaq Evans, WR, UCLA

With the 165th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers Select:

Ross Cockrell, CB, Duke



Even after taking Fuller in the 1st, the Chargers are still in need of good talent in their defensive secondary. Ross Cockrell provides them with a legitimate developmental prospect who can at least push for snaps in the dime package. He's a great competitor and, barring injuries, should become a solid starter within a year or two.

Cockrell shut down Mike Evans when they matched up.

Nice pick

Yeah, if it weren't for his shorter-than-ideal arms, I think many scouts would rate him higher than they currently do (I've seen him projected anywhere from the 3rd to a 4th-5th round guy). He also really needs to improve his ability to shed blocks and take on blockers in the run game. His consistency in tackling, while he puts effort into it, needs work as well. Part of the problem may be that he plays a bit too high a lot of the time and many players have a significant length advantage on him. While Cockrell has good height for a CB, his arms are only about 30" long. He needs to add some more strength to his body.

Definitely one of the worst tacklers in the draft, although not as bad as that kid from Notre Dame... jeebus.

Yeah, I just took the tracker out of spoilers but kept the rest of the finished rounds in spoilers. I'll switch that up once the draft is finished with.

Keep in mind, players are listed on the position tracker in terms of what I think they'll be playing at the next level. If the player you have is a tweener, say someone that many would consider a 3-4 OLB at the next level, be sure to check both the DE and OLB listings if you don't see his name listed in one or the other.

And that's why my last pick for KC sucked.
