Sac's 1/22 Mock (Official Underclassman Draft)

[Chris Meck]

I am football jesus, hear me roar.

I am no noob. I was here before almost all of you. I'm not as into the dick jokes, fart jokes, and general childishness as some folks so I mostly lurk.

In my opinion, we led the league in rushing because in addition to Jamaal Charles being very, very damned fast, he's also very quick and shifty. Most of his yards came outside the tackles either on sweeps or broken plays. He can change direction on a dime and be moving full speed like very few backs you'll ever see. This is why Thomas Jones had a rather pedestrian ypc. He doesn't suck, he just requires actual blocking to create an actual hole. Our line was fair at doing that outside, and horrible at running between the tackles. I don't know what to tell you if you didn't see it that way, seems pretty obvious to me.
Wiegmann can pull well, but is way too small to put a helmet on a DT and move him. That's just a fact. He's also 38. This is also a fact. These two facts, in my opinion, would make C a real priority. As further evidence to my opinion-note our inability to EVER pick up one freaking yard on a 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 without resorting to either trickery or trying to pass.

Now on a 3rd and 8, we might pick up 20 on a Charles sweep left. When we needed one damned yard, we could rarely get it.

Therefore, I surmise that we are not physical enough inside, starting at C where Wiegmann probably weighs about 250 late in the season.

YMMV,

Football Jesus.

nyuck, nyuck.

p.s.-I would like to pick up serviceable upgrades at NT, WR, maybe OLB, and perhaps even C in free agency and then just draft BAA. That may not be possible looking at the FA lists.
