c_hawkbob's annual three Deep Mock

[monkey]

I heard the 3rd round on NFL Radio & Pat Kirwin said he knew Pete would take THIS TE because he told him he would (they are good friends). He went on to say if anyone in this draft looked like Gronk, it's this guy who didn't drop a pass all year & out physicalled his opponents. I could live w/ another good blocking/catching TE.

You're now the third person I've heard that from.
I am so intrigued with this pick now. When I first heard it, he really wasn't on my radar, at least not in the third round, though the position was obviously something they were going to address, seeing as how Willson will be a free agent next year, and Graham is still recovering from injury, and isn't a blocker.
The more I think about it though the more I realize that this guy OUGHT to have been on my radar, it's just one I missed. His growth over his collegiate career cannot be overlooked, and his ceiling, might just be higher than any player we've taken since Russell Wilson.
I don't see Gronk when I watch him so much as I see Jason Witten, but either way, Gronk or Witten...who cares? Can you imagine what this offense would look like trotting out Graham and a Jason Witten clone in two TE sets?
This really has me super intrigued. I'll be watching him very closely.

This guy is going to be our "steal" of the draft. He can block AND catch the ball. I heard his interview on the radio last night and I fell in love with him. His head is screwed on right and I believe he will compete with Luke Wiilson right away and now there is no need to rush J.G. back into the line up before he is ready. One thing that jumped out at me, he said they used him all over the back field not just as a blocker or running T.E. routes. he said they put him in motion just about every play and used him as an "H-Back". Very, very versatile player. Great pick up.

No scoring on day 3 of the draft, I'll tally the UDFA's when they come in (but not today, family time now).

What he will allow us to do (when Graham comes back) is to go to a legitimate 2 TE set.
It will allow us to do some other things such as split JG wide or in motion and keep Vannett in to block, or have him run a pattern. It keeps the Defense off balance and we could introduce some new plays. Neither Willson nor Graham are good blockers, so this addition can only help.

Rumored connections to Seahawks:

-- Southeastern Louisiana DB Denzel Thompson got an invite to camp as a tryout player.
-- Cincinnati OL Chad West will get a tryout.
-- Idaho OLB Chris Edwards has been invited to rookie camp for a tryout.
-- Wisconsin Stevens Point DE/OLB looks like he might have a tryout with the Seahawks.
-- Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams will get a tryout at the rookie mini-camp.

Unofficial but, it looks like Bob got Ifedi right (wrong round but right player) then nailed the Rees Odhiambo pick, and got Deandre Elliot as undrafted.
Looks like Bob might have won this.

Bob called Vernon Adams too. Way to go!!

[c_hawkbob]

I'll check back on the scoring at the end of the week (if we sign Vernon Adams it'll definitelt effect scoring), but as of now here are the official scores:

GoVandals (with .5 for DeAndre Elliot and .5 for Christian French) - 3 points

Monkey - 2.5 points
NorthHawk - 2.5 points

ObS - 2 points

Zorn76 - 1 point

Very well done Sis!

[Hawk Sista]

Actually, after day 1, I thought these totals might creep into the 6's. But nope. Bob, I think we will sign Adams and you should win.

Honored to be on the stage w/ all this talent. Love my boys!

[c_hawkbob]

With Vernon Adams leaving town without a contract following our rookie mini camp the results are official:

Sis (with .5 for DeAndre Elliot) - Is our winnwer with 4 points

Thanks for playing, we'll do it again next year!

[Hawk Sista]

Well...shoot. Thanks, Bob and guys. As I said, I will spit the pot with each of you. T'was great fun.

Thanks

[EmeraldBullet]

Looks like fun, I will be sure to participate next year. Congrats HS.

[Vegaseahawk]

I know nothing about prospects, but after reading this thread, I think I may jump in next season. Heck, even a broken clock finds a nut once in a while. Thanks for all your hard work, Bob. Congrats to our sis too. I think she won the FFL league too. You are one bad a$$ Beeyotch Sista!

[Hawk Sista]

Muchas Gracias. I do have to give props to that British guy (forget his name) for his well thought out blogs on Seahawkish drafts. When it comes to fantasy, it seems to be feast or famine for me.

Thank you, Bob - for starting this activity. Twas fun

Niner fans are mean. One of them on the NFL site said with drafting Deforrest Buckner they would be heading North to chase some midgets. An obvious slam on our franchise qb.

Yea, well my response to that kind of trash talk would be that I'd rather be the midget than I would the team that has lost to the midget 7 of the last 9 times or whatever. 49'er fans have absolutely nothing to trash talk about, at least not to us..... unless they want to turn back the calendar a couple of decades. That's why they have to resort to deriding the physical characteristics of our quarterback rather than discuss the on the field results.

I don't understand the Hate from them River. Most of us over 50 were 9er fans before we were Hawk fans.
