Sac's Final 2011 NFL Draft Wish List

[Saccopoo]

1. Derek Sherrod, OT; Mississippi State: 6'5", 321 lbs.
- Big, athletic and intelligent. Experienced and played against top pass rushers/ends his entire career. Very intuitive and equally good in both the run and pass. Has all the intangibles and should play at a high level at either tackle spot.



2. Sam Acho, OLB/DE; Texas: 6'2", 259 lbs.
- An athletic and smart combo end who won nearly every leadership, academic and sportsmanship award there is in 2010 including the Campbell Trophy. Team captain. Had 9 sacks and led the nation with 5 fumble recoveries in 2010. Has very good change of direction as well as a good initial burst and size/strength to drive the point of attack. Has the potential to be a very effective 3-4 LOLB. This guy defines hard work, character and on-the-field production.




3. Jerrell Powe, NT; Ole Miss: 6'3", 335 lbs.
- Massive and strong, Powe was a Rebels team captain in 2010. Did not qualify academically his first two years of college because of an undiagnosed dyslexia situation, but he stuck with it and ended up playing all four years. A former high school Army All-American. Much better character and work ethic at the same size than a guy like Phil Taylor.




4. Vincent Brown, WR; San Diego State: 5'11", 187 lbs.
- With long arms and huge hands, Brown plays substantially bigger than his frame suggests. A classic possession type receiver that knows how to get open, make the hard catch and find the end zone. Had 1300+ yards and 10 touchdowns in 2010. Ran a 4.58 40 and posted a 36 inch vertical at his pro day.



5. Zane Taylor, C; Utah: 6'3", 313 lbs.
- First team all-conference as both player and academic. Team captain. Three year starter at center. Very strong (41 reps at 225 at his Pro Day), smart and experienced. Is very effective is standing up even the biggest nose tackles (watch his performance as a sophomore against Terrance Cody in the 2009 Fiesta Bowl - just annihilates the bigger Cody play after play). Excellent work ethic.



5. Ricky Stanzi, QB; Iowa: 6'4", 223 lbs.
- After several lackluster years, Stanzi had a very good senior season in 2010 setting a school single season record for passing efficiency. 25 TDs against 6 INTs in 2010 and went 26-9 as a starter. Excellent size and good leadership.



6. Darius Morris, OT; Temple: 6'4", 318 lbs.
- First team all-conference after starting all 12 games in 2010 at right tackle for the Owls (started 11 games at RT in 2009).



7. Robert Hughes, RB/FB; Notre Dame: 5'11", 240 lbs.
- Former High School All-American at running back, he has very good hands and elusiveness in the open field. Is also adapt at using his tree stump frame to smash through the line in short yardage situations. Really fits the Haley system in terms of a versatile fullback.

I don't see how that's an "awful analysis."

How wrong you are. Very wrong. The similarities end at both transferring from Florida,

Size - Cam is a much bigger physical presence at 6'5" 248lbs compared to Portis 6'3" 210lb frame.

Cam has a stronger arm, is more accurate, had a higher QB efficiency rating against far superior competition, and won championships at both the D-I and D-II levels.

To assert that Portis might have been the next Cam if he had another year of eligibility is a joke. Portis doesn't possess the talent Cam has and Cam did it all as a junior, not as a 6th year senior that Portis would be with another year.

That is pretty much spot on with all of Sac's draft anaylsis.

You are right about everything but Cam winning a championship at the NCAA D-II level. Cam played at the NJCAA level. Those are very, very, very different things.

You are correct.

He has the worst takes I've ever seen. Wanting Okung over Berry

Okung is a once in a generation LT, which is more important than a run of the mill SS.

Holy shit.

Get your panties in a knot over minutia in a comparison between two ****ing guys who started their careers at Florida as highly touted prep quarterbacks, who left the program amidst scholastic controversy and who went on to amass huge numbers against shitty DII/Juco competition!!!! What a stretch of a comparison!!!

Oh noes! One guy is 6'5", the other guy is 6'2"!!!!! One guy is a little more accurate than the other!!!! One guy had a higher completion rather versus the other!!!! They are nothing alike!!!!

****ing idiot.

I'm sorry if you got your tampon string wound in the wrong direction Mr. Cecil Newton. I never meant to say that Portis was exactly like your son. I simply inferred that if Portis had another year of eligibility that he might have made an impact at the D1 level. God forbid that I besmirched you son's name and lowered him to Portis' level.

You must come completely unglued when someone mentions that a porpoise and a dolphin are somewhat alike. Or if someone says magenta is a more of a shade of red then a shade of purple.

How does life live on a completely literal level?

Yeah, wanting a competent left tackle over a safety is a real stretch.

How many safeties have gone top five versus left tackles? Shit, how about just the first round? All of those "real" NFL GM's must have some real bad "takes" too, eh? ("Takes." Learned all you know of sports from the Jim Rome program? It all makes sense now.)

But yet, I respect you, because you've always put your views out there for critique. Laid it on the line, so to speak.

Yeah, taking a perennial All-Pro candidate at Safety was a reeeeealllll dumb decision. If only they had selected that league average LT from OSU.

My takes are out there, but I'm not much of a "draturbater". I don't make my own homemade bigboards and act like a toddler when they don't take my "guys".

Did anyone say it was dumb? Don't be such a moron. (Sorry, you are probably a moron resulting from genetical deficiencies and you can't do anything about it other than just be a moron and it's mean to make fun of someone who is like that and can't do anything about it. If your mom drank a shit ton while she is pregnant, the results can hardly be considered your fault. You may just want to limit your participation in discussions and the like so your genetic predisposition towards stupidity doesn't show itself too much.)

The Berry pick was a good pick considering the Chiefs lack of depth and production from the position in 2009. However, safeties are usually considered support players and deemed to be not as high on the positional value scale as left tackles.

However, while Berry quickly established himself as a very good run defender, his pass defense is not good and he was responsible for giving up a number of touchdowns last season.

Put up or shut up. If you are going to criticize someone about their picks, then you should have the balls to make yours known. Otherwise, you come off as a disingenuous one who sucks the penis. And maybe that's just what you are.

In case you haven't noticed (Wait, what do I mean "In case"?), the NFL has gone through some dramatic changes in the last few years.

The old values no longer apply to the safety position, with offenses evolving and the rules changes that give the passing game a huge advantage over defense.

Also, the other thing you clearly failed to notice is that Berry's coverage improved by leaps and bounds from game 1 to game 16.

Pretty much this. But Sac doesn't understand this concept.

I noticed. It began in 2004 with a rule change and greater emphasis on pass interference rule enforcement that favored the offense.

However, there is no way that a safety is more relevant than an offensive tackle in terms of positional value.

Also, the other thing you clearly failed to notice is that Berry's coverage improved by leaps and bounds from game 1 to game 16.

It was better, but still flawed. He even got burned in the Pro Bowl on pass coverage and gave up one to Gonzalez.

And I'm not saying it was a bad pick by any stretch. The Chiefs needed a safety (two) and got good ones in Berry and Lewis.

However, I would have rather have had Okung or Bulaga in the first and then use one of the second rounders we had last year on Nate Allen or TJ Ward rather than McCluster.

But Berry is a good guy and a solid player. And while I would have done it different, it was a good pick for the team.

Did you just say you'd rather have Bulaga over Berry? Really? Nah....Ima just pretend you didn't say that.

You didn't say that. LALALALALA
