2012 mocks

When I read the blurb about Irvin, I was asking myself "If he's that good, why is he available at pick #58?" If he's that fast and can *tackle*, then by all means let's get him and probably with #26 since good WRs will still be available at #58.

At least he's from that Virginia/Virginia Tech/West Virginia axis that we seem to take a lot of players from.

Solid points, He was on my radar before the combine, but like you ask, why is he not being talked about as a top 15 pick with those combine numbers?

Maybe here's why Irvin's still there at #58. He got arrested the day after his Pro Day.

Well there you go, I don't see him on the Texans radar. But remember Braman was in serious trouble with the law before we brought him to the NFL. So there is hope.

Braman might have been the lone exception to the golden boy routine. IIRC, Wade knew his HC in college.

I guess this thread is as good as any to post this. Boise State had their pro day yesterday. I'm never real sure how BSU players will do in drills. I am always sure about their attitude, fundamentals, work ethic, etc. I was really wondering how WR Tyler Shoemaker would test out, as he didn't get an invite to the combine. He had 60+ receptions this year and a team record 16 touchdowns. He is decent sized at 6' 1 1/2" and 216. Anyway, he ran a 4.43 40 yesterday and had a 37" vertical. Very respectable for a receiver with a little size. I can tell you he runs very good routes and is a hard worker. I think he has a chance to get drafted in the 6th or 7th round. I think he would be a good value pick there.

I love Doug Martin, but since we don't need an RB, I just hope he goes to a team I don't hate.

The fact that he didn't get an invite to the combine makes him an automatic sleeper. If he's not drafted, he'll probably be in demand as a UDFA. I'm sure any scouts who went to see Martin now know who he is.
