Some lessons from the end of 2012 draft
This weekend was FA.com mode France (with the Elite, the D3 playoffs and the playoffs Juniors) but we also looked towards the end of the draft and here are some lessons:
- With the arrival of Morris Claiborne (first choice of the Cowboys), Michael Jenkins loses his place on the side of the Cowboys and finds himself available for other franchises. Mike Jenkins is a player who was drafted in the first round draft pick in 2008 and in 2009 he was tenured (instead of Orlando Scandrick) and a pretty good shot because he managed five interceptions in the season and showed good skills in area coverage during the playoffs ... May he got stepped on by Sidney Rice, who has two TD him on the head. Nevertheless, it was the ProBowl. But then he had a year 2010 for less missed because he was constantly late and conceded interference to avoid making big plays, some hoped to rebound during the 2011 season but did not play because injury.
- The best undrafted? Maybe a player I have followed many of the side of him is Arizona State. Why him first, because he has a mouthful but slam: Vontaze Burfict. But mostly because it's a linebacker for Arizona State (he was originally signed to USC but he declined at the last moment) has signed an exceptional 2010 season on the half-season he played: ESPN the named defensive player of the NCAA midseason. End of the season was phenomenal and he has amassed as many tackles as partners who have played them all year ... but he also showed a side of "violent and reckless" by making a blatant facemask against Stanford who cost the Sun Devils to victory. His 2011 season was unlike disappointing as it has increasingly been penalized (correctly) for his many lapses in the field. If we add his positive test for marijuana and that he said at the combine he was not responsible for his bad season but it was the fault of the coaches, we understand why he did not been drafted. But it remains a player with enormous potential (but to channel) and I think the Bengals have had reason to hire a free-agent right after the draft because it has huge potential (and the ability to self-destruct).
Who said Burfict is scary?
- Big Ben Roethlisberger bananas lately and understandably because with the arrival of David Adams and Mike DeCastro perhaps it will finally be able to stop spending his Monday morning in the hospital due to a porous offensive line so that a sponge.
- The Packers ultimately did not trade for Colt McCoy and Mike McCarthy as their roster is finalized. This leaves Graham Harrell, Nick Hill and rookie BJ Coleman (7th round) to be replaced by Aaron Rodgers.
- The Redskins have released their quarterback John Beck! It is true that between his disappointing season and drafts of RGIII and Spartan Cousin Kirk they no longer need him. Beck tried to bounce back in one of 31 other franchises ... unless he returns to Europe as part of its "mission Mormon."
- The Colts had the first draft choice (Andrew Luck QB) and they also had the last of the draft, they used their last lap to recruit quarterback Chandler Harnish of Northern Illinois. Mr. Harnish becomes irrevelant 2012!
