Draft Theme 2011 - Page 2

Dante84 · 03-24-2011, 11:31 PM

It seems like Pioli is a man with a plan. He is very calculated, very deliberate. Whether or not you believe he is correct or headed in the right direction is up to you. (I think his resume speaks for itself, though, so you are a dumbass if you think he's a dumbass.)

Year 1 had a Special Teams theme to it, by selecting Lawrence, Washington, and Succup. Obviously we were a shit team heading into it, so we had to pick fires to put out everywhere.

Last year, we drafted players with two themes in mind: 1. Speed, and 2. Leadership Ability.

Speed
We took players like Javi and Dex early, when prognosticators would have had us picking other positions/player types. Lewis was a speed upgrade over our old-ass safeties and Berry, of course, is fast as shit.

Leadership Ability
All but one of our picks was a Team Captain, if I remember correctly.

This Year
So let's assume Pioli has a theme coming into this draft. What are some universal themes, or character traits, that we will seek out? Please share a theme, and 2-3 players you have in mind that might fit that theme.

I'm trying to steer clear of "this position" vs. "that position" since that's in every other draft thread anyways. I'm more looking for discussion on what you think our theme/s could be for this draft.

Dude, it was a high ankle sprain. That can happen to anyone.

I would have preferred if they attempted to address starting positions of need and not returners, etc.

I think the 2nd round was a bit of a waste.

A nickelback is about as valuable as a starting CB these days and I think they intended for McCluster to start at WR. They just both happen to be returners. You have to remember the days of the Tecmo bowl style proset being run 3/4's of the time is done.

What if it had went like this?

1. Berry
2A. Moeiaki
2B. Asamoah
3. Arienas
4. McCluster

not always, lol. There were some growing pains. But with that being said, he's going to be the next best thing at safety.

Moeaki has far surpassed my expectations, but that doesn't mean it's okay to take him with a high 2nd round pick. I would have murdered puppies if Pioli did that

The theme will be "Filling the Holes" or "Big Man in the Middle".

The cast for this high school themed prom dance will be;

Stefen Wisniewski -playing the role of a center in the middle.

Leonard Hankerson - playing the role of a wide receiver able to go over the middle.

Jerrell Powe - playing the role of a nose tackle in the middle.

Whoever it is we draft I'm going to go ahead and rate their entire career on their rookie season, potential be damned.
